Sound of the ancient drum - chapter 02.

“Why didn’t you call you found something?” hissed admiral Nacon angrily.

“Sorry sir! We tough it’s not important” muttered a soldier. The admiral and some other naga stood around two tore corpses. One of the lizards leaned closer and sniffed it.

“It has a strange smell” he said.

“What do you think general Serpentinus, there are more of them?” Nacon asked.

“Seems to be” nodded Serpentinus then grinned “Finally some fun”

“You’re right!” licked his lips the admiral “And if we have choice we can get some new slaves. Send out some teams! Search through the area after other creatures!” the nagas saluted then moved away.


There was a big animation between the marsupial wolves too. Next day a warrior ran into the village shouting.

“We captured one! Chieftain, we captured a stranger!”

The males and the chieftain hurry followed him into a bigger clear where a dozen of tigers tried to hold back a serpent-like creature. The beast raging hissed, they covered his eyes and tied his hand tightly, from two sided they stretched him. They did the same with his muscled tail not to catch one of them.

“Are you crazy?” stunned Ehona “What if he alarm the others?”

“He won’t!” answered a warrior “We’re enough far to realize us!”

“Fool little vermins” hissed the naga in anger “Just set me free and I’ll break your bones into ash!”

“Silent!” snarled the warriors, some of them used their spears merging deep into the lizard’s flesh. He cried painfully and jerked, the wolves pressed him onto the ground.

“Answer for our questions!” said Ehona chieftain “Who you are and what you want in our territory?”

The naga chuckled wickedly “Who are we? We’re the sons of the greatest god, the winged-snake Quetzalcoatl. We have the most prospering culture here, unique in the universe! Considering us you are only dust and we clean the dirt like you from the planet!” pulled his forked tongue.

“We don’t know any kind of snake god. We believe in the nature’s spirits, those keep the world alive and there isn’t that a population tyrannize another. Here every creature is equal!”

For this the serpent laughed “How idiot! You undeveloped rats. Sooner or later but my kind finds you and exterminates your kind!”

Hearing his words the warriors turned angry “Don’t you dare threaten us!” another spears merged into the naga’s body that twisted in suffer.

Suddenly the snake roared and, on his coils the ropes stretched. His motion dragged with himself some wolves those hold on the ropes.

“Trying to escape! Don’t let it go!”

The beast made a great swing with his muscled tail that threw some of them into a tree. From his eyes the scarf tied off so he could see his enemies “You?! Hraaaaa!” and attacked Ehona chieftain. He tried to jump away but strong coils wrapped around his feet and didn’t let off. Let out a moan as the coils slowly pressed out the breath from him.

“Little vermins. You’re not enemies for us!” gazed into the chieftain’s eyes with full rage.

“It captured Ehona! Kill him!” shouted Typhoon whereof the warriors charged at the naga with their weapons and cut deep into the snake’s soft stomach. The naga screamed and let go Ehona.

The beast raised, from his wounds blood flew. Typhoon and the other warriors with some nice stab killed the naga. After they made sure they defeated the monster they ran to Ehona.

“Ehona chieftain, are you okay? Didn’t you hurt?” they asked worrying as they helped him up.

“I’m fine, thanks” coughed Ehona “Let’s go back to the village and be prepare for everything.” The warriors nodded and aided home their chieftain.


After some time the patrolling nagas found their killed mate’s corpse.

“This must those vermins had done!” hissed Serpentinus.

“Report it to admiral Nacon!” said another soldier and they left.
