Near the Serpent's Fang
Intro: In an uncertain day before Jaino had met the children in Deep Forest, flashback: "Grah!" has loudly yelled by a long haired veteran man. He points his finger to the frightened people, "Locate the whereabouts of that woman! And the family that helped her to hide! Scan the whole Deep Forest, and bring her to me! We can't let her escape! We haven't finish giving her hell! Her worst nightmare! And the success of our experiment!" Loudly, he laughs madly. "I can smell. I can smell it. The success of our experiment. The eternal life after the long terror. What are you waiting for? Now, go and commence the pursue!"
"Yes, sire!" has simultaneously replied by the crowd.
Behind the long haired veteran man, a man speaks, "Quite confident, are you?" His words startle the person he's spoken to, and that person grumbles angrily. He continues, "If it'll become a failure, you'll bother me again. Oh, well, it's not my place to say that, but make sure you'll finish it quickly as possible. Our boss' body requires to be stable. And you must success on your experiment. Or we will be repeating the tragedy in the past. We will birth another monster in the forest by the time comes. And who knows, you might be the first to be eaten."
"What are you here for, Martinis Digs?"
"I come to retrieve your garbage. I have to drain their blood before their burial."
"That's too early. Speak your real intention!"
"Easy, easy. Our boss asked me to retrieve your reports."
"No! Not yet!"
"I'll be waiting, then."
"Just don't bother with my work!" And he leaves the room.
And why would I bother... I don't even know how everything is progressing. I'm just doing my part.
—End of Intro.
Flashback to when Amono helped Jaino to escape from Kilie in Deep Forest 01: A cry from an animal draws their attention, follows by another cry as this continues.
Jena hides behind her brother as she is cringing in fear.
Crawling out from the trees; their scaly face is angry a warning for their prey for a great chase. Their teeth are sharp as their mouths are showing hungry. Long tongues are saying yummy. Their eyes see their prey as warmth, making their stomachs hungrier badly. They have small upper arms and big giant legs. But their tails are a bit huge, hard and heavy.
"They're huge," has said by Miera, stretching her dress, making it comfortable to her body.
Those reptiles surround them.
"Kilie, do you hear me?" has asked by Jaino, verifying.
"Of course."
"Have the children and bring them home to Aklaba!"
"Do you think I'm idiot?" —Jaino sneakingly moves backward, making his distance away from her group— Kilie, who actually notices, appears to his back. "You won't escape this time!"
One of the reptiles stomps trembling the ground as Kilie outbalances, when she has stood near to Jaino, giving Jaino a chance to escape since the others are busy in different matter.
The big man focuses on protecting those siblings from the agitated creatures.
Their cries are fierce, frightening; making Jena covers her ears and she's shaken. She wants to think this event just a dream. Her brother is confused about a thing to do. Even though he's trembling, bravery is keeping his eyes open.
