*After what seemed like quite a drive, Riko's bike pulled up in to an old defunked parking area, long over grown with plant life. A half ruined wooden fence stood delapidated to one side. And this is where she parked. The dogs had vanished, of course. but the snake remained, and as she pulled her helmit off she reached up to let the slithery creature wrap around her delicate wrist*
Rubina (Oct 22, 2010 11:08:30 PM)
*Ru put down the cell phone that had been in use till the service blipped out. Checking the blade strapped to her thigh beneath her dress, she climbed out, barefoot* Nice neighborhood.
Riko Nakamura (Oct 22, 2010 11:09:28 PM)
*Riko smiled a little and set the helmit of her bike on the handle bars* it is home. * turning to face the thick murky trees she whispered something impossable for Ru to hear under her breath*
Riko Nakamura (Oct 22, 2010 11:12:47 PM)
*she looked over her shoulder at Ru and nodded towards the trees, * follow me? * with that, she simply started to walk, choosing some hidden path beneath the trees that some how kept them out of the waters. As if this was a place she knew better then any one rightfully should*
Rubina (Oct 22, 2010 11:14:18 PM)
*Ry followed, glad tonight hse had worn a short dress. the soggy groudn dind;t seem to bother her bare feet in the least as they went along*

They would eventually come to a large natural clearing in the swamp where a lake had made it's claim in the wood. The massive primitive wall of stone that nearly circled the body of water now, leaving only it's very front edge unblocked. The wall itself was now held together by a thin weave of vines, though it seemed a tenative and early process. In the center of the lake rose the large half shattered oak and across it's remaining limbs lounged a massive snow white python. It's head rose up into the air, it's eyes glowing golden as it watched them approach.
Riko Nakamura (Oct 22, 2010 11:17:35 PM)
*Slowly Riko made her way threw the swamp pausing only for a moment before she brought the other girl threw in to an open clearing *

Riko Nakamura (Oct 22, 2010 11:19:54 PM)
*Drawing Ru in to the clearing she bowed so respectfully, a few strands of her dark hair tumbling foward around her face, her hands lightly clasped infront of her. Stepping then quietly asside for Rue to see, and to be seen*w* I have brought you that which you asked for. * deep respect in that sweet heavilly accented voice*
Rubina (Oct 22, 2010 11:23:33 PM)
*IT took Ru several beats to see what she was really seeing. IT finally registered and her eyes widened adn she stood stock still, looking up at the thing. Slowly her mouth opened to speak and not a thing came out. A first for Ru. At least for a few moments. Then the words came, a torrent of whispered Creole. The words may not have been recognized by Riko, but the intent was clear. A prayer chant of some sort. Her hadn slipped into a pocket adn a small worn leather back was removed, held up to her heart*

The massive serpent slowly lowered itself to the surface of the water, creating great ripples as it's sinuous form weaved it's way to the shore. Once on dry land again it's head began to lift into the air, but as it did so, it began to change. It flared like a mighty cobra until thick belly scales formed a powerfuly built chest and torso. Inhumanly strong arms tore from a film like dead skin even as his face began molding to a human visage. When he spoke, the very earth rumbled with the deep predatory voice. "I have watched you, Rubina...."
Riko Nakamura (Oct 22, 2010 11:28:36 PM)
*Riko stepped back as he shifted and changed, stepping back towards the tree line, giving the two their space to speak, her eyes down cast, her fingertips lightly caressing the snake wrapped around her wrist. *
Rubina (Oct 22, 2010 11:31:00 PM)
*She could only watch, completely stupefied at this point. She was so awestruck, she answered in Creole, her native tongue*

His bulk blocked out the light of the moon, casting a great shadow over Rubina. Still her features would be lit up by the soft white glow that moonlight had cast off his pealescent scales. He still spoke english as he continued, as if not noticing her linguistic slip, or simply not caring. "I sent my child to you, to bring you to me, so that you might look at me in person. You have called out the false names of imaginative apparitions for too long, child."

False names? What is this you say? *The street inflection was gone, replaced now by her natural accent, the lilting tones of the islands*

His long sinuous body arched out in a slow circle around her, suddenly leaving her within a short wall of brightly gleaming scales. The intensity in his eyes was enough to give other fallen pause and he softened it none when he placed it upon the mortal in front of him. He loomed so near that she could feel the unatural heat from his skin, yet he loomed over her until she nearly had to arch her back to meet his eyes. "You have called to me as Legba, because your kind have forgotten my name. I have heard your calls and I know that your faith is strong."
Rubina (Oct 22, 2010 11:42:47 PM)
*She nodded slowly* Simbi, the great serpent.....*her voice was a whisper*

*still quiet Riko didnt move, she kept her space and her eyes down, stepping back further in to the shadows of the trees. *

His long slender ivory horns cut through the night as he leaned down closer to her. She could suddenly feel his warm breath wash across her face and smell the scents of loam, wood, and musk from his skin and scales. ""Zaebos, Throne of the Scaled Ones", he corrected, his words as sharp as an axe and promising death just as surely if she did not take care to learn it. "Tell me, child. Were your words empty on your lips? Or is your belief true? Strong?"
Rubina (Oct 22, 2010 11:48:48 PM)
I have worshipped you all my life *Whispered* Faithfully, You watched like that child said, then you know
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 22, 2010 11:52:38 PM)
His tail slowly rose upwards while he held her gaze captured by his own. Before she realized it had even moved it's long sinuous length wrapped tightly around her trim waist. She could feel it bite painfuly into her skin through the dress as it lifted her effortlessly into the air, her feet dangling over the ground as her eyes were lifted level with his own. "You have shown courage and conviction....I smell the blood on your hands. Your hardships will not go unaided, child, your prayers will not go unanswered. But you must prove your final worth if I am to claim you to my clutch.
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 22, 2010 11:52:40 PM)

Rubina (Oct 22, 2010 11:55:00 PM)
How? *She could not look away* Mac swore he wouldn;t tell about that....
