I Figured I may as well post some stories of mine on here. I hope you'll be able to enjoy 'em! Some feedback would be really appreciated.

Kaiten's Felaryan Misadventures-Prologue: Enter The Coward

The Malkian desert. An unforgiving land ruled by the strongest creatures the world had to offer. No human life resided anywhere except within the walled city for which the desert was named. It’s scathing heat was enough to cause your skin to peel if left in the sun for more than a few hours. In a portion slightly east of the great city, a certain man had finished a journey to uncover some information about himself and was now headed back home to the forest whence he had come from. Although this man was no ordinary person. He was a giant forest naga. His name was Kaiten.

“…Aww dammit! I’m out of water!” He let out a long sigh as he slithered across the blazing desert sands. To any who may have seen him, fear would have set in, for this mammoth creature rivaled the size of the monsters that resided beneath the grounds surface. With a snake tail for the lower half of his body and a human torso for the top half, he was a sight to behold.

“…I can’t believe it! Out of food too?! Geez…I should’ve listened to Rika and stocked up…” His body, larger than many buildings, was enough to intimidate anyone who he came into contact with. However, none who actually know him fear him. For he is one of the few of his world. A gentle and kind forest naga. He had no taste or desire for humans as he was once one himself.

“Aw well….at least the monsters are nowhere near…thank goodness…” Upon first sight, many people would notice his…weight. Thinner than many nagas, his ribs could easily be seen. That is, if he were to remove his shirt. He was very rare compared to other nagas of his world as where he wore clothing, not many others did.

“....I am NOT looking forward to going home….Stupid jerks…always treatin’ me badly…I mean, big flippin’ deal! So I used to be human! Should it matter!?” He looked around himself only to realize, that he was there in the middle of the desert, alone.

“Oh yeah…I’m…alone. Again. Wait a minute! Why am I talking to myself?! God, I must look ridiculous…” He hung his head as he moved forward, the desert sand beneath effectively burning his underbelly as he moved along. He had been travelling for more than two days and was starting to succumb to the massive amount of heat the air seemingly generated. As he moved along, he couldn’t quite help but miss the hot springs his home forest contained, and couldn’t wait to soak in them again and let his worries simply wash away.

He looked above himself and noticed that the sun was already setting, the darkness beginning to fall. Taking in a heavy sigh, he laid himself down upon the already cooling desert floor. His eyes, heavy with fatigue, began to close. He only prayed that he would not be bothered by the giant nocturnal creatures that treaded these lands. And with those thoughts, he drifted to sleep, dreaming of his home and the cold, or lukewarm welcome he would receive.

On into the moonless night, he lay there and dreamed. The desert was particularly calm that night, almost as though the wildlife itself was giving the poor weary wanderer a well deserved respite from his current adventures.

The morning sun had not yet risen when Kaiten heard a loud noise. This noise rudely awakened him from what could be described as peaceful slumber. Looking around, his heart began to grow heavy with fear. He didn’t want to fight anything out here. Creatures vicious enough to rip his chest open for a quick meal. Suddenly his face grew red. He listened to the sound once more to make sure. It had just been his stomach growling, all along.

“not much to eat out here, ’cept for sandiver dragons..and lord knows how tough those things are! Hmm…there’s no fruit trees anywhere around here…Humans are off the menu, now and always…” He let out a long, belated sigh.

“I hate the desert…” He lied back down and looked at the darkened sky. He let out one more hearty sigh. His mind was now ablaze with thoughts of what he should now do with his life. The humans would never accept him. And the naga back home would treat him badly once more. He decided then and there, to get an early start on moving, before the heat began to bake him once more.
3 hours later…

The sun was hanging low in the sky now. The orange hued rays pummeled his backside evermore. He felt the sweat on his brow begin to drip off into the sand below him. He couldn’t help but regret not gathering more supplies before he left the city.

“Damn…He said I could have anything I wanted for saving his daughter…I coulda said, three cows and a hundred barrels of water! But NOOOO! I had to be the hero and say it was alright! I was happy to rescue your daughter! No problem!...Damn my kindness! I mean…human food is delicious…but it’s just not filling enough…”

He looked around and noticed something. Off in the distance was the gem of the desert. The “watershine Oasis”. The halfway point for all travelers going through the desert. A veritable shrine for all who toiled to make it thus far. Crystal clear waters and plenty of shade.

“Is that…YES IT IS!! THE WATERSHINE! I…I thought I was going to end up another shriveled corpse in this god-awful place!” A tear began to fall from his left eye. He quickly began to straighten his lower half in an attempt to make it easier to move quickly. And with that movement, he let off! His body shot forward at great speeds, in a desperate movement to make it to the escape from the prison that was the arid heat.

He was about halfway to the oasis when something strange happened. He began to notice that the air in front of him seemed somewhat…darker than it was before. It looked as though his shadow had risen out of the ground and was being eaten by the air. He quickly dismissed it as a mirage, and kept moving forward, right into the strange area.

As soon as he entered the flowing darkness, he knew he had made a mistake. Suddenly, everything around him went dark. His body was lifted off of the ground by an invisible force. He felt like he was being lifted by another person even bigger than he was. He heard a strange sound as he saw a bright light form in front of him. His body started twisting in the air as he began hurtling forward.

“Wha!? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING OOOOOOONNNNN?!?!?! HELP ME!!!!” And with those last words…the forest naga, Kaiten Monroe, disappeared from the world of Akkilia. The darkness quickly dissipated from the spot he had vanished from. And once more, the area was silent.
==========================================================
“Shit…Why do I have to come to a world like this?! Asshat brother…always tellin’ me what to do…feh! I mean, so what?! I’m not even a full demon and yet, I’m reprimanded for helping humans! How’s that fair?!” As the young girl walked along the wet path in front of her, her expression was one of anger.

“And of all the worlds to be sent to, THIS ONE!!! I mean, I could be killed by anything around here! And that dumbass fortune-teller was no help! “I can’t tell you because you’re half demon” FEH! That stupid dridder…I mean, I offered to pay her and everything… Hmm?” She saw, in the distance, beyond the rain, what appeared to be a dark neon light and a large figure popping out of it.

“Oy, another one?! Geez, they’re crawling out of the woodwork!” Quickly she turned the other way and ran.

Kaiten's body had hit the ground with an audible thud! His form clearing the area of all small animals that were there. His face had landed in the mud beneath him. He put his hands to the ground and tried to push himself up. The suction of the mud and Kaiten's overall tiredness and fatigue made it difficult though. His face finally came out and he rolled onto his back, gasping for breath, letting the cool rain cascade his clothed body.

“……….What…the…hell..just…happened? I feel like…..crap…Damn…if I ate earlier, I would’ve puked…” He felt the rain coming down onto his body, so he opened his mouth and began to let the cold liquid drip inside.

“Ahhhh! Much better! I really needed a drink!” He wiped off his mouth as he noticed the rain beginning to cease. He looked around and took in his new surroundings. Where once he saw desert as far as the eye could see, there was now a huge sprawling jungle. “I’ve…never seen trees so huge before! Only one thing to do!” His frown quickly turned into a large toothy grin. “Explore!”

He forced himself up and began moving forward, giggling and unable to contain his glee at having found yet another new adventure. His happiness was quickly interrupted by an all too familiar sound, though. “Oh yeah…I’m still so hungry…” He lifted his head high and began to smell the air for any sign of wildlife. To his dismay, there was nothing but a few humans, and one strange smell extremely close to them.

“I guess this animal will have to do…” He let out a long sigh as he continued moving towards his destination, his stomach grumbling all the while.

“Hmm? What’s that?” He could see two humans, a small boy and an aging woman, as well as a slightly above human sized girl naga. Although his stomach grumbled, there was no food for him in this area. He quickly noticed that the naga was leading the two smaller humans somewhere as well as talking to them.

“Yup! Of course this is the right way! Back to the city!” The naga had a cunning smile on. Her stomach made a strangely loud noise.

“It certainly doesn’t seem like it…” the woman’s face looked somewhat fearful as she held the child close.

“Hmmm….what the hell? We’re far enough away by now…” as quick as lightning, she dove at the two humans and coiled around them with her tail, effectively stopping them from moving. “I’ve been waiting for this for hours!” She began to drool heavily as the two humans started to cry and struggle in her grip. “Hmmm…I think I’ll start with the young one.” She grabbed the child around his waist, pulling him from her coils up to her face.

“Please don’t! Leave my son alone!” The woman’s face was now drenched in tears.

Kaiten, seeing this, quickly reached down as he saw the naga opening her mouth wide. He grabbed the child from her grasp. He then grabbed the woman from her coils. Though the two continued crying in his grasp, he put them down on the ground at his side.

“Hey! I was gonna eat those! Give ‘em back!” She held her arms out.

“C’mon! It’s just a kid and his mom! Let ‘em go!” Kaiten looked down at her with pleading eyes.

“They’re just humans! Get a grip you sentimental fool!” She began to look very angry.

As soon as Kaiten heard “Just humans” his expression quickly changed. His frown turned into a very angry glare. He looked down at the naga, giving her a poisonous, murderous look. She quickly realized that she had made a horrible mistake.

“I’m……I’m very sorry…” She quickly began to back away as the humans watched the spectacle.

“Get lost” Kaiten's eyes, for a split second, seemed to give off murderous intent. And in the next instant, the naga girl was gone. The two humans watched in awe as their captor left.

“Th-Thank you sir…We’re in your debt!” As soon as the woman spoke those words, Kaiten's body fell to the ground.

“Too…….hungry….” He closed his eyes and began to drift to sleep. Behind him, a large eight legged figure could be seen moving towards the three of them…..
To be continued…

And here is the next chapter!

Kaiten’s Felaryan Misadventures Chapter 1: Brand New World

Clouds. That was what Kaiten was seeing. He felt his body was floating along the sky, and the clouds amidst the twilight, surrounded him. He looked around himself, thinking of the great beauty that engulfed his entire being. "This must be heaven. It'sthe most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe I’m dead though. I should pinch myself to make sure this isn’t a dream." And so, Kaiten pinched his arm, tightly.

“OOOOOWWWWW!!!” He quickly darted upwards into a sitting position as the pain of the pinch awoke him. He looked around himself, noticing that the brightly colored clouds had been replaced by a clearing filled with webbing and various small creatures stuck to the webs. The trees were closely clumped together, their branches effectively blotting out the sun. The shadows around him danced abound as the branches did with the wind.

Looking at the webs, Kaiten saw creatures he had never seen before, as well as humans and small nagas. As he approached one web, he saw what looked like a mix between a human and a cat stuck to it. He cocked his head to the side as a confused look quickly washed over his face. “Kitty cat?”

“Please don’t eat me! I’ll…I’ll do anything you want!” The cat girl began to cry as Kaiten looked down upon her. She struggled violently in the grasp of the webbing, yet it still held secure. As she struggled and screamed, many of the other captured creatures began to as well.

“Calm down! I’m not going to eat you! Here! I’ll Help you out!” He began to reach for the crying cat girl he saw”

“Now, that’s not very nice! Helping your savior’s food get away! I saved your life and you try to steal my meal?” A rather sultry voice came from out of nowhere.

“Who’s there?!” Kaiten quickly turned around and saw something he had never seen before. In his sight was what looked like a gigantic spider. However, where its head would start, the body of a woman from the waist up began. She looked to be in her early thirties and had very dark skin. Her body was of average build. She was about twenty feet taller than him. She had green hair and was wearing a dress shirt, as well as a veil over her mouth.

“As I said, it’s not very nice of you to try and take my food from me. Especially after I took such good care of you.” Her sultry tone did not change. Nor did the bored look on her face.

“Wha-What the heck are you?!” Kaiten quickly backed up, his body shivering.

“Well, you’re rude aren’t you?” Her tone now carried something of a depressed rasp. “Maybe if I eat something, I’ll feel a bit better.” She reached over to the screaming cat girl and plucked her off of the web.

“Wait, are you going to eat her?” He began to look a bit concerned.

“Well, silly, of course!” She playfully held the crying girl above her head.

“But..but, she’s crying! How can you eat something so cute?!” His eyes began to water as he uttered those words.

“Boy. I put her here earlier to save for later. I caught her trying to rape a traveler.” Her face and tone carried somewhat of a bored feel. (There. That little lie oughta quiet him down.)

“Go ahead then.” He quickly turned around, a small frown on his face. “A rapist…Who’da thunk such a cute girl could be so evil?”

“Don’t worry girl. I don’t play around.” She opened her mouth and quickly dropped the girl inside, tossing her around a little bit with her tongue and savoring the taste. Then she calmly tilted her head back and swallowed, a small, yet visible lump appearing in her throat. It quickly travelled down past her collarbone and vanished. “Ahhh! Much better! I love the taste of neko.” She patted her stomach gently.

“Well, now that that’s over……What are you?” Kaiten quickly turned around and gave her a strange look. “You look like a spider! I’ve never seen anything like you!” He looked over her body with a rather curious look washing over his face.

“Okay, before we talk, I want you to stop freaking out. I won’t hurt you. I promise. I did save your life afterall” Her tone was quite different from her face, carrying a feel of trust all throughout. as she spoke those words, she could easily see guilt growing in Kaitens expression. "It's okay. You just met me, so I understand that you probably felt a bit scared."

“Maybe we should talk somewhere a bit more comfortable?” She began to walk away from Kaiten, her many legs easily carrying her. “Follow me. I have a place where we can talk.” She motioned some movement with her hand, telling Kaiten to follow. As she began to walk away, one of her legs brushed against Kaiten, the fuzz on it making chills run down his spine.

Eventually, they were in a small grove with a large canopy roof above them. And what looked like burn marks all over the ground. “Do you like it? I built it with human materials I got as payment. Keeps me dry from the rain!” She quickly had a happy smile on her face.

“It’s nice and all…but can we please discuss what’s going on? What are you? Where am I?” He quickly began to look worried. “And also, where’s that mother and her kid?”

“One thing at a time boy. Before we go any further, what is your name?” Kaiten began to open his mouth but was quickly interrupted by the girl. “My name is Sheska! The fortune-telling dridder extraordinaire!” Kaiten calmly waited for her to finish, while hearing the small gurgles her stomach was giving off.

“…..My name is Kaiten Monroe! And I’m tired, hungry, and scared! Where the heck am I!? How do I get back to the Malkian continent?! Please! Any information at all would really be appreciated!” He was now beginning to breathe very heavily and rapidly.

“Shhhhh. I’ll tell you everything, Kaiten. Just calm down.” She gently placed a finger on his lips and looked into his eyes, giving him a very peaceful feeling.

“You are in Felarya. There is no Malkian continent here. You must have been doing something in your world and ended up here.” She reached to her side and picked up a large handmade jug and began to drink whatever liquid was inside. She then held the jug out towards kaiten. “ Do you want some? It’s good stuff.”

“Errrr, no thanks. I have a question for you though…how did you find me?” He began to look a little more uncomfortable.

“Weeeeeeell, my brother and I were out hunting for something to eat, you see. We saw you and began following you, planning to make a meal out of you, seeing as how we’d never had the opportunity of having Akkilian naga before. However, I saw you help out that human and his mother, so I decided to help you out instead. You seemed like a good person.” Her bored look still did not falter.

"Oh? You were going to eat me?” He let out a big goofy smile. “That’s nice!” Quickly, his smile turned to a frown. “Wait…..YOU WERE GONNA EAT ME!? THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!? How could you eat me anyway?!”

“The same way a spider eats their prey silly!” Her expression quickly took on a small smile as some wind began to blow her hair back slightly.

“Wait a minute! What happened to the mother and her kid?!” He quickly forced himself up looking very worried.

“Relax, Kaiten. A “friend” of mine took them back to their human settlement. They’re fine. And I’ll know if they’re not. I can tell if someone’s been eating human or not. If he did, I’ll punish him so badly, he’ll never forget it.”

“Wait, how do you know I’m from Akkilia?” He quickly began to look somewhat wary and suspicious.

“Akkilians have a very unique smell to them. They smell delicious. And with magic flowing through them like you have, it makes it all the easier to track them down. Supposedly, magical beings taste much better than non-magical.”

“ Okay then, Does this mean, this world is connected to Akkilia? Or are there things from all kinds of different worlds?”

“The second one. Creatures, people, things from all kinds of worlds find their way here. It’s somewhat a world of survival.”

At those very words, kaiten’s eyes practically glowed. He began to shake as the excitement began to overtake him. “A…world of survival? Things from all kinds of worlds?! OOOOOHHHH! This place sounds so freakin’ cool! I can’t wait to explore!”

“Then why not meet some of the locals? I’m sure a nice boy like you would be able to make all kinds of friends. Although, promise me you will be careful. You may be big, but there are plenty of predators around here who feed on giant nagas like yourself.” Her eyes began to fall slightly as she half-snored.

“Yes Maam! Thank you very much for all the information Sheska! I don’t know how to thank you enough!” He quickly turned around, his body standing tall. He began to slither away with a huge smile on his face. “Onward to adventure!” However, his body quickly fell to the ground with a large thud. "Hungry!"

“I’ll get you some fruit before you go, you silly boy.” She forced herself up and began walking away towards a small group of trees nearby. With one loud sigh, she began picking fruit off of their long branches.
=========================================================
A young girl was walking along, angrily muttering to herself, her face scrunched up somewhere between anger and frustration. “Damnable predators! Why do they think that just because I’m small, I’m food?! I mean, I can eat humans just like they can! Even if it’s a lot bloodier. But no matter! I’m hungry…but not for meat.”

She began to follow some tracks that were on the ground at her feet, the tracks resembling human footprints. As she followed the tracks, a scent rose into the air. “Hmmm. A woman. Probably in her early twenties.She smells ripe for the picking!” She quickly began to lick her lips.

She soon saw a lone young woman walking along, looking somewhat lost. The young girl licked her lips and simply uttered: “Showtime!” She quickly ran out of the bushes, beginning to cry and clinging to the woman’s dress.

“Oh my! A child all the way out here? Poor thing!” she calmly hugged the child close to her. “I got separated from my group too little girl…but don’t worry! I’ll take care of you!” She tried her best to sound sure of what she had said, for she didn’t want to sadden this lost kid anymore. Especially in such a scary place as this. “Now what’s your name? My name is Jessica!”

“My…My name is Shienne…I put on a pretty convincing act eh?” She quickly grabbed Jessica’s face a pulled it down to her own level. Her mouth began to glow as a strange blue light began to flow from Jessica’s body, and down Shienne’s throat. After a couple of minutes of this, Jessica passed out and fell to the ground.

“Don’t worry, miss Jessica! You’ll live! I just really needed a pick-me-up!” She began to walk away leaving Jessica’s body behind as she let out a small triumphant laugh.
==========================================================
“There you go Kaiten! Do you feel any better?” Sheska was wiping some fruit juice and remnants from her hands.

“Much better! Thank you very much!” He swallowed the core of the last fruit he had been eating. “Now!” He forced himself up one more time. “Onward to adventure! I’ll see you later Sheska!” And with that, he began to slither away from her clearing.

“Hmmmm…I wonder how many days he’ll last? Aw well. Hm?" She heard a sound as she was turning around. “Oh! A customer! Welcome!” Her face quickly took on a large smile.

Nice chapter ^_^
This fortune-teller dridder looks like an interesting and original character

And here we have the next one! Critique if you may!

Kaiten’s Felaryan Misadventures Chapter 2: Hippety Hop Music!

It was a beautiful day in the jungles of Felarya, The sun was hanging overhead, there was a slight breeze blowing in from the east, and the sounds of nature filled the air. Or rather, the sounds of nature would be filling the air, if not for the singing voice of one particular traveler.

“Oh, it’s a beautiful day to be alive! It’s a wonderful day to be here!” Kaiten was slithering through the underbrush, letting his voice fill the air all around him. He was wearing a rather large smile, as he moved along, hoping to find something interesting, sooner or later.

“Oh man! I feel so alive here! There’s so much magic in the air, it’s making my hair stand on end! I’ve never felt so alive!” He raised his arms and began to look around to make sure nobody else was nearby. As soon as he had, a devilish smile quickly overtook him.

“Alright, let’s see if it works any better here eh?” He began to move his hands left, and right a little bit. As he did, his arms began to glow with a very pale white light. As they did so, his body began to shake quite a bit.

“Come on! Concentrate! Concentrate! Concentrate!” The glow began to brighten as the earth underneath him began to rumble. Dust quickly began to swirl up from the ground underneath as it took the shape of a small, slightly larger than human, vortex. This vortex spun around the ground in front of Kaiten for a few seconds before dissipating into nothingness once more.

“Darn it all! I’m still hungry…it was a lot easier to use than usual, but, without some fuel in the tank, I still can’t do it properly. The fruit was great but, I need meat!” His stomach let out a very agreeing grumble as he began to think of how long it had been since he had a proper meal.

He began to sniff the air praying deep in his mind that there would be some animals nearby. Though a slew of new smells assaulted his nostrils, there was nothing that he recognized as food. “Aw, crud! Nothin’! Maybe one of them will be somethin’ edible!”

He began to slither away as his stomach was painfully crying out for sustenance. His face was now carrying a somewhat sad look on it, quickly overtaking the large smile he had on several moments before.

He calmly slithered along, following the strange new smell, wondering to himself just what this odd new scent was. "This smell…It's very familiar and yet, something about is really off. It smells kinda like a human and yet it doesn't. I hope it’s not one of those nekos…I think they were called? I really don’t think I could eat one of them. they seem too….humanish. And they can talk! I could never eat or hurt anything like that!"

As he slithered along, he stopped his singing and listened to the sound of everything else around him. He rubbed his hand across his stomach and noticed something. To his horror, his shirt had a small rip in it. “Oh no! My shirt! Crap! I’ve had this thing for a long time, so it was bound to get ripped sooner or later, but…”

As a couple of tears began to fall from his eyes, he noticed something ahead of himself. There was a small human teenager walking along. He was wearing ripped jeans, a long sleeved hooded shirt, and had his hair in a green Mohawk. In his hands he was carrying what looked like a strange black box with small holes in it.

Kaiten slithered out from the underbrush to inspect the young man more closely. As he slithered towards him, the young man began to back away quickly, obviously frightened. Kaiten was quite used to this behavior, but it still annoyed him nonetheless.

“Hey! I’m not going to hurt you! I promise! Please don’t run away!” The large half-humans eyes carried a somewhat desperate look in them. As he got closer to the human, he noticed the man had several piercings and tattoos adorning his body.

“Okay then, What do you want?” While the human talked, his face carried a very suspicious look on it. Kaiten could instantly recognize that the human didn’t trust him one bit. And while it hurt him to know this, he understood exactly why.

“Two things boy. One: have you seen any animals around here? And Secondly, What is that thing you’re carrying? Three, why do you smell so strange? And four, why are you out here? ” As he spoke these word, his head cocked to the side and he took on a rather curious look.

“Okay then. One! No I haven’t seen any animals! And two, This is a boom box! It lets me listen to music! Three, I’m wearing Cologne! And four, I was walking along the streets to go back home, and then, next thing I know, I’m here!” He still seemed to be acting rather wary of the giant half snake beast in front of him.

“Let me get this straight. That box. Lets you listen. To music? Can…can you show me?” Kaiten’s face practically beamed as he spoke those words.

“Errrr, sure, I guess.” He began to fiddle with the knobs on the small box for a few seconds, and then he held it over his head so Kaiten could hear. Almost instantly, a loud hip-hop song began blaring from its speakers.

"ummm, I'm sorry. I thought you said it let you hear music, not garbage like this! What the heck do you call this crap?!” Kaiten’s face easily showed that he was greatly annoyed. He then crossed his arms underneath his chest and waited for the young man’s response.

“ Hey man, back off! First off, it’s called hip-hop! Secondly, it IS music! Maybe not what you’re used to, but music nonetheless!” The young man put his boom-box down on the ground and looked up at Kaiten looking somewhat offended.

“Okay boy! I’m going to explain to you, just what music really is. Music…is art for your ears. It’s when instruments are used in harmony to make such beautiful sounds, that force you to let your emotions rise. This jargon isn’t music! It’s…it’s….Trash!” As Kaiten glared daggers at the young man, it became increasingly obvious that this argument was going to go on for quite a while.
========================================================
“I am soooooo bored.” Sheska simply sat in her clearing as her face carried nothing more than a bored look. She pulled her clear veil back, letting it rest on her head as she brought a large handmade jug to her face. She began to swig back whatever liquid was contained within.

“Guh-haw! Ahhhhh, nothing like a good drink to pass the time. Kinda boring when there’s nobody to drink with though. Kaiten wouldn’t drink with me, neither would those humans that were just here….seems like everyone is sober nowadays.” As she spoke, her voice very slightly slurred. She laid the jug on the ground beside one of her legs as she hiccupped, her face now ever so slightly red. She calmly tilted her head upwards as she saw someone heading her way.

“Hello Sheska! It’s been a while!” A large figure, resembling a gecko mixed with a human entered the clearing, her eyes adjusting to the darkness around her. “Yucky! Have you been drinking?! You smell horrible!” Her face now scrunched up looking as though she was going to be sick.

“Why yes! I have been drinking! Ya wanna join me, tubby? There’s plenty to go around!” She invitingly held a second jug out to the large gecko woman in front of her.

“Maybe just a sip. I was just about to go and find some lunch. I saw this cute little fairy earlier and I don’t want to let her get away from me! Stupid girl was taunting me all morning just because I haven’t found that special someone yet. I really want to though!” She let out a loud sigh as her grey eyes drifted to and fro, her long black hair blowing in the wind. She took the jug from Sheska’s hand and began to take long slurps, emptying the container of its contents within seconds, letting it some of it drip out of her mouth and onto her body as she did so.

“Always thinking of either love, or your stomach, eh Tesla? It’s no wonder nobody has any respect for you. There’s more to life than just food you know! Like having a drink with friends! or, telling stories, or having your fortune told! Ya want one more drink before you leave? We could have a toast!” As she spoke that last sentence, her eyes seemed to widen slightly as a small smile overtook her face.

“Eh. Why the hell not!” Sheska quickly handed her another smaller jug and as she did, the both of them smiled towards each other.

“Here’s to you, and here’s to me! I hope we never disagree! And if we do, to hell with you and here’s to me!” Sheska then took one more large swig as Tesla downed the contents of her jug. They then knocked their jugs together. “Hey, do ya wanna sleep here tonight? I could sure use a friend tonight. ’Specially after drinking so much.”

“ not tonight, Sheska. I have to go before she gets away. I may not be respected, but damned if I’m going to let a FAIRY of all people get away with offending me like that! I mean, they’re my favorite food for corn’s sake!” She forced herself up, wiping the remnants of liquid from her chest as she turned around. “See ya later Sheska!” And with that, she was gone.

“Oh poo….alone again. I guess I’ll just have to talk Dwayne into hanging out with me this time.” As she spoke those words, she let out a small giggle as the she realized that sun was making the end of it’s descent.
========================================================
In a small portion of jungle, slightly northwest of Sheska’s clearing was an unconscious human woman lying on the ground. She was wearing travelling equipment on her person, such as a grappling hook, a canteen for carrying water, a knife, and a hand gun. She was wearing a long camouflage vest and long camouflage pants to go with it.

“urrrrr..” The young woman began to rise, once more, unsure of just what had happened to her. She remembered talking to a small girl earlier that day, and then everything went black. She quickly began to dismiss it as a dream as she took in the gravity of her current situation.

“I’m…alone?! And out here?! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! THIS! Is NOT good! I can’t believe it! I’m out here alone…..with these monsters all around.” A strange look quickly conquered her face, almost as though she was remembering something awful.

(I have to get back to Negav! If I can just make it back there, I’ll be safe! Welp, I guess I’d better get moving!)” She began to walk away, but as she did, she began to feel as though she was being watched. And as she knew all too well at this point in time, that was never a good sign in Felarya.

Quickly and as silently as she possibly could, she began to run away from her spot. She knew that in order to survive, she would have to find some sort of shelter before night fell. For without it, she would be at the darkness’ mercy.

As she ran, she began to notice something behind her. It looked somewhat humanlike, save for the insect-like wings coming out of her back, as well as the antennae jetting from her head. Also, the fact that she wasn’t wearing anything at all. At this sight, her hopes began to fade away.

“Hello there ma’am! What’s your name?” The strange winged human woman was now next to her. She had tan coloured skin, and a rather good looking body. She began to inspect the human she had found, once in a while licking her lips.

“ Uhhh, my name is Jessica. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have someplace to be…I want to go home now….” She began to walk away, an obviously uncomfortable look on her face.

“nah-ah! Now, why do you think I stopped you miss? Two reasons! One! I like that cool stuff you have on you! I want it for myself! Two! I need a bit of a snack before bedtime. And that’s where you come in. I haven’t had human in weeks! And you look especially tasty Miss Jessica!” She was now drooling as her wings gently fluttered.

“Ummmm” Jessica’s face was scrunched up in fear now, terrified to even move. She quickly began to run as fast as she could from her captor, praying with every fiber of her being that this predator would leave her alone. As she looked back though, she realized this was not the case. The girl was easily catching up to her, a childish smile on her face.

“Sorry miss Jessica. You’ll have a nice warm place to spend the night! Don’t worry! And without further ado!” She began to move her hands in a strange way, as she spoke those words. Jessica screamed, knowing full well what was about to happen to her.

Suddenly, out of the blue, something shot out of the nearby tree branches, launching at the fairy girl in question. She stopped moving as fast as she could, the long object instead hit a nearby bush, uprooting it and bringing it up into the trees.

“Ptoo! Yuck! That’s not what I was aiming for! I want fairy!” Out of the tree’s branches, climbed Tesla, her form glaring in the now orange sunlight, striking a very imposing figure to the fairy. Tesla began licking her lips as she eyed the little fairy girl in front of her. “Remember me? It’s never a good idea to piss off someone like me, girl! ‘Specially, when she’s looking for love! Now, you’re gonna pay! But before you do, what’s your name?” A huge devilish smile overtook her as the fairy gulped heavily.

“My name…is Marcy. Don’t do this! I was just joking around before!” She looked up at Tesla as she noticed her beginning to pull her head back. Marcy gathered up all her strength, and began to fly away at speeds she never knew she could, easily being able to hear the gigantic predator behind her.

As the two predators left the scene, a very bewildered Jessica sat there, unable to contemplate the turn of events that had just happened. This was a blessing, and she knew that all too well. Without anything to further delay her, she ran off once more, hoping to find some safe shelter for the night.
========================================================
“Crap! I’m tired of trying to explain this to you! You’re an idiot!” Kaiten rose up from his lying position and angrily stormed off, grumbling the entire time. And as he did so, the small human began to walk away as well, utterly confused as to why he was being lectured. “Kids these days and their…Hippety-Hop music! What a load of garbage!”

“Wait, it’s almost dark. I was talking with him for a long time. I wonder what I was doing before I ran into him?” Almost as soon as he spoke these words, his stomach began to growl ferociously. He looked down at himself, and then remembered the main reason he had been looking around in the first place. “Oooooohhhh! I’m still hungry but I’m way too tired right now.” He let out a loud yawn as he began to look around. In his sights was what could be described only as the perfect tree to sleep in. Plenty of foliage, high off of the ground, and well clumped together with many others, so it wouldn’t stand out.

He quickly slithered up the base of the tree, climbing into its high branches rather quickly. He took one last look around himself, before lying himself amongst the intertwining branches. He closed his eyes as best he could trying to get to sleep. And as he did, He held his hand over his stomach, his face clearly showing discomfort.

To be continued

Just read through all of it and found it pretty interesting. All in all, a pretty solid story - the characters are good and it's interesting to read, which is all anyone really asks for. I agree with Karbo that the fortune teller dridder seems like a good idea. Actually I have to admit I'm liking Sheska and Tesla more than the main character right now...

(This part of the story has been deleted/is being rewritten to fit in with Kaiten's new info)

Nice stories! I just adore the detail you put into them, and the characters are all very distinct without going overboard. Hope to see more soon!

Are these the same as on your DA account, or have they been edited?

They're the same as on my DA account.

Time for somehing funny! A little break from KFM! Hope ya enjoy everybody! If ya wanna send a question for the next one, just PM it to me. Can be from you or your OCs about anything. Pen names are also allowed^^

Question corner #1!

Kaiten: Hello all! And welcome to the first episode of question corner! Where we answer your questions! And while it should go without saying….to all preds in the audience? Please don’t eat any other members of the crowd. Thank you. First off, there’s me! Kaiten Monroe! Also, we have the lovely Sheska!

Sheska: *Hic* Hello everybody!

Kaiten: And the gluttonous Tesla!

Tesla: That’s not very nice! I just have a big appetite…

Kaiten: The unfortunate miss Jessica!

Jessica: I just want to go home! I don’t know why I have to be here! Most of you want to eat me!

Kaiten: Hush up. And of course, Shienne.

Shienne: *Takes a drag from a cigarette* No title for me?! Oiii, ya stupid snake freak!

Kaiten: Gonna ignore that for now…and my idiot of a writer, Kai.

Kai: Whoa! Where did that come from?!

Kaiten: And before we begin, I have a message for whoever sent me that package and letter earlier. Sending me Ketchup, Mustard, and barbecue sauce and writing that they’re skin lotion won’t work! I can read the labels smartass! And I won’t meet you backstage either! I’m leaving through the front with everybody else! Nyah, nyah!

Sheska: Can we start yet please? I want to get this thing done soon. I have stuff to do.

Shienne: Like drink yerself sick no doubt, hehehehe…

Kaiten: Quiet down ‘fore ya start a fight! Okay then. Let’s begin.

Shienne: Lemme check the questions first…HM?! They’re all for “scared shitless” and “spider ass here!” What the hell?! Not even a single question for me?! Dammit all!

Tesla: *Snicker*

Kaiten: Next time Shienne. Next time. Okay! So, first question: “To Sheska! What is your relation to Kaiten, and how do you know him? From Molot.”

Sheska: My brother and I were out hunting one day, and we saw him. We were hungry and planning to eat him, until I saw him help some humans. He then collapsed from hunger. I helped him recuperate, and the rest is history. I kind of see him like a younger brother. A much smaller one.

Kaiten: Awwww! Thanks sis! Shienne? Could you read the questions? I’m getting all teary eyed!

Shienne: Sure thing. Let’s see…. Next one is for big, ugly and scaley. “Kaiten: Is there any event or events In your life which led you to be so timid? From Molot.”

Kaiten: Hmmmm…Lots of things. Right off the top of my head? Living in the forest back home by myself. I was there for a very long time. The other residents of the forest didn’t really like me, so I decided to live by myself, away from them…

Tesla: Oh dear…

Shienne: Well shit. That’s just depressing. Tesla? You answer ‘em. I’m too down now to do it….

Tesla: Okay then. This next one’s for Kaiten. “Kaiten: Do you like sweets? I love them! I especially like chocolate! From Irayegen.”

Kaiten: Irayegen? Before I answer your question, I just wanna say, what an awesome name! I’m honored and humbled to answer it! Yeah, I love sweets! I’m just too big to get ahold of them anymore…I miss ‘em. Next question please!
Tesla: Okay then shorty. Another one for ya. “What is your favorite spot in Felarya? From Codaman.”

Kaiten: Hmmmm…..I haven’t seen that many yet, but so far? Sheskas fortune telling clearing. It smells like incense and melted wax. It’s extremely relaxing. Also, Sheska is there.

Sheska: Well, thank you Kaiten. C’mon! Next!

Tesla: Should I have Kai or Jessica answer some? They’re not doing anything…

Jessica: Fine. Give them here. Let’s see…One for Sheska. “Do you ever eat creatures your own size? From Tork.”

Sheska: Yes I do. Whenever I can. I prefer large prey to small stuff. Mind you, it’s far too much work to go after them, so I usually just eat whatever gets caught in my webs. And when I have large prey? It lasts me quite awhile. I don’t eat it all in one sitting of course! Next up!

Jessica: Anoher one for Sheska. From Vegeta002. “Have you ever been sober?”

Shienne: *Snicker* Not likely..

Kai:…*Snicker*..

Sheska: *Sigh* Yes. I’m not always drunk. I just love the buzz, that’s all. If it helps you through the day, then you may as well enjoy it.

Tesla: Well said!

Jessica: Do you want to answer a few Kai?

Kai: Nah! You’re doing fine!

Kaiten: Hmph! Lazybones…

Kai: What was that!?

Kaiten: I called you lazybones! Next question Jessica!

Jessica: Errr, alright. For Kaiten. “Name three people you like and three who scare you. Explain why. From Codaman.”

Kaiten: I haven’t met that many people yet. I like Sheska because….well…she’s a nice person. She doesn’t feel the need to try and force her views on me. That’s ‘bout it for the likables. For who scares me? Tesla here.

Tesla: What?! Why?!

Kaiten: You’re too darn affectionate! I can’t stand girls like that! Next would be my writer Kai.

Kai:….

Kaiten: The guy writes my stories. If he wanted to, he could kill me without any effort! And finally…..Anyone with the ability to swallow me whole. I think that explains itself well enough, wouldn’t you say?

Shienne: Hmph! Ya big baby.

Kaiten: Shut up!

Jessica: Can we please calm down and continue answering?

Kaiten: *Sigh* You’re absolutely right. Next up please.

Tesla: I’ll answer the rest of them!

Jessica: Fine. Take ‘em!

Tesla: Next up is for my dear friend Sheska! From (Name withheld for security reasons!) “Do you prefer being naked or clothed?”

Sheska: I would think my outfit would tell the whole story. I like being clothed because it keeps me warm, and it looks rather nice. I look much better with these on than without I feel. But going commando on certain days feels pretty good too! Next up please!

Kaiten: *Face is rather red* Good to know, good to know…

Tesla: For Kaiten, from Blazbaros. “What would you do if you were trapped on a flaming jet fighter?”

Kaiten: Well, I wouldn’t fit inside, so I’d be on top of it. I’d hang on for dear life and pray to whatever deity exists that my life wouldn’t end!

Shienne: Calm down spazz! It’s just a question!

Kaiten: I know! That’s just a scary thought…

Sheska: After the show, I’ll get ya a drink to soothe your nerves Kaiten.

Kai: Good grief! Can we please continue?

Jessica: Hehehe.

Tesla: Last question. For Kaiten no less! From Scala.

Kaiten: Finally…a normal question….

Tesla: “Who would you be vored by?”

Kaiten: That’s just a plain creepy question for someone to ask! If I had to go that way? I’d want to go by someone who would enjoy me. Not just some idiot pred who’d scarf me down and think “Meh. Just another naga.” So from all the pics and stories Kai has shown me? Probably either Miss Ryla, Miss Lynn, or Miss Angela. So long as they’d enjoy it.

Kai: So that’s it?

Kaiten: Would appear that way. This was fun! So until next time! Send us your questions and we’ll answer ‘em!

Sheska: Kaiten? There’s one left. From….Na…Na…The rest is scratched out.

Jessica: Na something?

Kaiten: Eh, one more couldn’t hurt ‘fore we turn off the cameras. Let ‘er rip!

Sheska: *Devilish smile overtakes her* Kaiten. “Will you marry me?”

Kaiten:….

Jessica:….

Shienne: Holy crap….

Tesla: Awww, how romantic!

Kai: Hehehehe…well Kai? What’ll ya say?

Jessica: His face is turning redder than a beet!

Kaiten:….

Kai: Kaiten?

Kaiten: THIS QUESTION CORNER IS OVEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!! Turn off the cameras before I break ‘em! Right now!

Kaiten’s Felaryan Misadventures Chapter 3: Spiders, and snakes, and Wasps! Oh My!

The night was at long last beginning to fall back, as the morning sun began to rise. Wildlife was already up and moving, getting ready for nothing more than another day of survival. Deep in the brush, amidst the many trees and intertwining branches, there was a loud sound purveying the air.

“Whuguh?!” As Kaiten opened his eyes, he awoke mid-snore, quite surprised to notice that he was so high up. “Holy Moley! I’m in a..wait. Oh yeah! I went to sleep in this tree of my own free will! Whoo! Well, that’s a relief!” Breathing a heavy sigh of relief, he slapped his hand to his face.

As he slithered down the tree, heading towards its base, his expression was carrying an evident feel of embarrassment. As he finally felt solid ground beneath him, thoughts of what he should do next began to flood to him. These thoughts were quickly interrupted though, as his stomach let out a hearty growl.

“Oooooiiii, Now I remember. I can’t remember the last time I had a good meal. Let’s see, I think it was about four or five days before I got here.” As he spoke those words, he put his hand to his flat, boney stomach in pain. “I know what’ll make me feel better. MEAT! Right off the bone!” As soon as those words left his lips, so did a little drool, making him blush a little.

Not wasting any more time thinking about it, he slithered off, following a wealth of new smells in the hopes of finding something to sate his hunger. Looking down at himself, he couldn’t help but wonder if he would always look so boney, as he had never before seen anyone else with that kind of body.

A little while of moving, and he noticed that the jungle that had surrounded him began to look much more forest-like. “This place looks a lot like home, ’cept that everything is so much bigger!” And with that, he began to look around, much like a young child from the country would, seeing the big city for the first time.

Eventually, he saw what appeared to be some fruit hanging up in a tree. They were blue, round, and had black spots all over them. He grabbed an armful of the fruit and quickly began to stuff his face with the juicy crunchy plant. “Mmmm! These are great!” He began to move forward again, now carrying a good number of the fruit and munching on them.

Eventually, a strange feeling came over him. He looked down to the ground as a look of disgust quickly washed over his face. To his surprise, he had slithered into what appeared to be a trail of slime, running along the ground, deeper into the forest.

“Yuck! It’s all sticky and gooey! I wonder what it’s from though…” Putting his hand underneath his chin, he began to slither off in the direction of the slime, curious to discover what manner of creature could leave behind such a trail, all the while, still eating fruit.
=========================================================

A small naga and dridder were moving along the forest floor. Their bellies were growling as they continued to look around.

“You told me there were humans around here! Momma said they’re supposed to be really good!” the dridder simply sighed as they continued to move. Suddenly, almost out of nowhere, was what appeared to be a very large dridder was standing right in front of them.

“Boo! I’m gonna eat ya!” She raised her arms and quickly took on a very frightening expression as the two child predators began to run for their lives. Once the two had left and gone out of the dridders sight, she simply began to laugh.

Suddenly, her body began to change. She began to turn much smaller, as her body began to take on a much different shape. Within a few minutes, Shiennes body had transformed back to its original human looking state.

“HAHAHAHA! Oh my lord, that was funny! My little act! Boo! I’m gonna eat ya! Classic…” She walked over to a nearby tree and sat at its base, pulling a cigarette out of her shirt pocket. Quickly, she pulled a lighter out and lit the small stick, now puffing on it.

“ Geez, the people here are so easy to fool! Shapeshifting like that. They were never in any real danger anyway. I swear, I get such an emotional high seeing them flee in terror like that. It’s just too much fun!” And with that, she put on a very childish smile.

“Meh, this world ain’t too bad once ya get used to it. ‘Sides all the shitty beasts goin’ around gobblin’ up us small folk. Godammit! Without my powers, I’da been dead by the end of my first day here!” She calmly took a long drag from her cigarette.

“Hm?!” She forced herself up as she heard a strange sound. “The hell was that?!” No sooner had she spoken these words, that a tan-skinned fairy began to fly towards her, screaming all the while. “A fairy?! Lordie! This ain’t good!” Quickly, she began to feel like she had swallowed her cigarette.

“Wahaha! It can’t end this way! I don’t wanna be eaten! I have too much I’ve always wanted to do! I never had a boyfriend! I never got to lead a pack! I never got to grow old enough to complain about children!” Marcy flew through the air as fast as she could, terror covering her entire face. She stopped her flying, now realizing a small girl sitting against the base of a tree.

“Hey there. Wh-What’s goin’ on? Hehehe…” Shienne quickly stood up, evidently frightened of her new position. (Goddammit! If she decides to shrink me, I won’t stand a chance! If I can just get close enough to her though…) “S-So. Whatcha doin’? Her face quickly turned extremely friendly.

“She’s pretty far back. I could probably have a snack before she gets here. Human children taste a lot better than adults anyway!” Marcy began to lick her lips as she eyed the small girl in front of her. “Oh, not much little girl. Avoiding someone awful, about to eat a meal, the usual.”

“Ya don’t say? Well then, you better eat before ya get sick! But before that, wanna see a trick?” Shienne was, strangely enough, trying to hide a large smile from Marcy’s face.

“Why not? Only because you’re a child. I’ll humor you. But after that, hehehehe.” As she spoke those words, some drool began to collect at her lips and drip off.

“Understood.” Shienne calmly walked over to Marcy and placed her hands on Marcy’s shoulders. At this point, Shienne smiled, showing off several razor sharp teeth. Before Marcy could react, shienne drove her teeth into her side.

Tesla was walking along smelling the air for any sign of her quarry. She then heard an extremely loud scream fill the air. “What the hell?” And so she began to follow the noise, wondering just what it could have been.

Eventually, she found the source of the horrid screaming. Using her lower body to stand, and leaning her human half against a tree, she looked down at Marcy’s bloody body. Several bite marks were visible on her body as she lied down in horrid pain, bleeding onto the grass.

Tesla wasted no time in picking up the injured fairy and giving her a strange look. “Meh. Food is food. Regardless of how dirty it is.” She tossed Marcy into her mouth and quickly swallowed. Feeling content, she began to walk away from the scene.

“Hmmmm, maybe I should visit Sheska for a bit longer this time. She seemed really lonely, and I haven’t been around nearly as much…” Her face took on a rather thoughtful look as she continued to walk away.

“That was too close…” Shiennes body had been barely covered up by the shrubs in the area, practically shaking from fear of almost being found by the massive Gecko creature. She rose out of the bushes and began to walk the opposite way. Licking some left over blood off of her lips.
=========================================================

Kaiten was still following the long trail of slime running along the ground. His body wasn’t hurting nearly as much due to the fruit he had been munching on all the while. The wind was coming in from the east, cooling off Kaitens body as he slithered through the forest, now fully aware of the many shadows dancing around him.

“This place is massive! The trees are bigger than anything I’d ever seen before! Heck! The forest back home is nothing compared to this place. I’ll betcha that if those jerks back home could see me now, they’d be jealous out of their skulls! More room to move around, and bigger trees to live in!”

He had finished off his fruit a while ago and was now beginning to wish he had something more filling to fill his almost empty belly with. “Darn! I’m still hungry…Grah! Fruit! That’s all I ever eat! Dammit! Stupid nagas back home were always able to stuff their faces with whatever they could find! Eating things as big as themselves, human, deer, all that stuff! Me?! I’m always on the short end of the stick! I can’t even remember the last time I was full! That’s it! If what made this trail can’t talk, I’m gonna eat it! I don’t care what it is!”

As he continued slithering, he licked his lips at the thought of having a large meal on the way. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a strange feeling overcame his body as his lower stomach gave off a strange, loud gurgle. “Hmmmm? What the?”

Quickly and without warning, a sharp pain flared through his gut. “Oh geez! That fruit! That fruit went right through me! Oooooohhhhh! Gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee!” He quickly rushed over to some nearby bushes and hid his human lower half so that his business wouldn’t be visible as he lifted his shirt slightly.

Oddly enough, in the distance, he could see two figures arguing over something. One looked like a dridder, the other….was something else. Her body looked human like from the waist up, apart from two feelers jutting out of her head, but her lower half appeared to be a wasp body, with what appeared to be a natural armor adorning it.

As Kaiten emptied his body of all liquid, he saw that the wasp girl had slapped the dridder in the face and put her hands to her hips. The dridder, now looking a bit angry headed towards Kaitens location. Upon arriving closer, Kaiten began to realize just how much bigger than him this man was.

“Hmmmm? A naga…a really big one. That scent I was following earlier…I KNEW you looked familiar!” He began to look at Kaiten, who was in the bushes, not moving an inch. As he noticed this, he began to rub his face where he had been slapped, his dark skinned face now turning slightly red.

The dridder in particular had black skin, dark grey hair, and appeared to be even slightly taller than Sheska. He had a rather muscular build and his face practically flowed with confidence.

Kaiten simply continued to stare at the mans face, and now noticed the wasp girl making her way over towards them. She appeared to be Kaitens size, roughly. Her body didn’t have anything covering it. This in turn, made Kaitens face turn a bright red as he looked away from her.

“Whatcha looking at pervert…holy shit. This naga….he’s..enormous. I’ve only heard about huge ones like this. All the others I’ve seen rarely break human size! So, whattya wanna do with him? Wanna cut him up and divide him evenly? We could last off this guy for days!” Upon hearing her words, Kaiten began to shake in fear.

“Leave him be. I think I know this guy. Hey! Naga! You’re still alive, so you must’ve been a decent enough person at least.” As he spoke these words, Kaiten instantly began to recognize just who this person was. “What a coincidence that I’d run into you of all people though.”

Kaiten could barely believe it. He thanked his lucky stars as he looked on at the tall dridder. “So….you’re Sheskas brother? She mentioned that she had one..”

“Yes I am. My name is Dwayne. I was following your scent until I ran into her.” He pointed one of his large fingers towards the wasp girl as she walked much closer to Kaiten, her wings buzzing very slightly. “I want to talk to you. About something important.” As he spoke those words, he gave off a very powerful glare that made Kaiten gulp in fear.

“Mmmm! You look very..weak. When was the last time you ate? And what are you doing in the bushes? Come on out of there!” She was beginning to look quite impatient as she spoke those words.

“What am I doing here? Ummm…Can you two wait a moment? I just have to…finish some business here.” As he spoke, he noticed that they were still giving him the evil eye. “Look away for a few seconds please!”

To be continued…

Here we are! The next KFM. I may have said it elsewhere, but oh well. I've been extremely busy lately. That's why this one took so long.

Kaitens Felaryan Misadventures Chapter 4

Kaiten was quite afraid. And in his position, he couldn’t really be blamed for this. He was sitting down, now having the company of two very intimidating figures.

Now, being able to get a better look at the dridder in front of him, he realized that there was what appeared to be a large rash on his chest. He also had several small scars running all along his body.

The wasp girl, roughly Kaitens height, was quite different. Where as Dwayne simply looked strong and rugged, She looked somewhat fearful. She looked like the years had been rough on her, some noticeable scars on her abdomen, Filthy short black hair, and dirty teeth. She was looking at him in a very odd way, almost seeming as though she was examining his body.

“S-So….what is it you want to talk to me about Mister Dwayne?” Kaiten was now sitting down, curling his tail around himself, pushing up some dirt around him with each movement.

Dwayne was still giving Kaiten a very powerful glare as he spoke. “As I told you, it’s very, VERY important. You may have the bit of information I need.” His strange look did not falter as he spoke these words.

“Y-Yes? And…wh-what may that be?” Looking into Dwaynes fearsome eyes and being looked over by this naked girl turned out to be almost overwhelming.

“Alright. Ya see, the thing is….Where did you get that shirt of yours?” As soon as he spoke these words, Kaiten simply cocked his head to the side in confusion. “I would like one.”

“That’s what was so important that you scared me?! Where did your sister get her shirt? Get one from there!” His face was now slightly red as he yelled at the tall dridder.

“I can’t! And don’t yell at me!” Dwayne simply stood up, now showing the full height of his body to the cowering snake man.

“Why not, huh? Where did Sheska get her shirt? Huh huh huh?”

“She…made it by herself.” He spoke with a somewhat lower tone now, as he seemed to be a bit depressed. With a bit of effort, he reared his head back up. “….Please?”

“I got this back in my world. Believe me, for a long while, I had to go without clothes. I grew out of my human clothes and went that way for a long while. Sorry ‘bout that.” Kaiten couldn’t help but feel a bit bad for the larger predator. He hated being fully naked, and he imagined that some others must as well.

“Wait…She made her shirt by herself? Why not ask her then?” Curiosity flowed through his words.

“Yeah Dwayne. Why not ask her for one?” The wasp girl, still examining the snakes body, spoke in a smug tone.

“She said she would make one for me…but only in one color…..she says I would look good in pink.” His face was a bright red as these words left his lips. Not very surprisingly, Kaiten began to snicker and try to look away from him.

“I’m sorry, it’s just…” He quickly burst out laughing now falling to the ground and clutching his sides in pain, along with the wasp girl at his side. “P-Pink? I’m…ummm….I’m sorry about that.” He seemed to be calming down himself now, the laughter subsiding from his speech.

“Pink!? Pink?! HA!” She was rolling along the ground now, her breathing slowing to a near halt as her laughter overcame her other senses.

“Shut up! Both of you! I want a shirt! That’s all! They look cool!” Dwayne looked to the forest floor upon these words and let out a very heavy sigh.

“Wish I could help you mister Dwayne, but..” At that moment, Kaitens stomach let out a fierce growl. “Urgh….Look. Mister Dwayne. Miss whatever you are. I’d love to stay and talk with you, but I’m far too hungry. I’m going back to my hunt. See ya later!”

He rose up off of the ground, turned away from the two, and headed towards the bush where he had finished his business, deciding to follow the smell of himself back to the slime trail he had been following earlier.

“I’m gonna follow him.” The wasp girl now had a mischievous look on her face. “You wanna come with?”

Dwayne had now begun to turn away from her concentration beginning to come back to him. “Naw! You have fun with that. I’m feeling a mite peckish. A few humans, nekos, or regular sized nagas should hit the spot. Besides, I’m getting sick of nothing but Kensha! See you later Merle.”

“See ya later pervert!” And with that, she began to follow the strange naga she had been examining a while ago.

“Finally! I’ll finally get to eat something! I can’t wait! I wonder what it may be though?” He looked down at the grass as the trail became visible once more. In the sunlight, the slime seemed very glossy I the small bit of sunlight breaking forth from the branches overhead.

“Heya skin and bones!” Merle was right beside him, her face nearly touching his. This fact caused Kaiten to double take away from her.

“Don’t do that!” His face was a bright red now, a mixture of anger and embarrassment. “You scared me! Geez…sneaking up on a guy like that. Why, when I was younger, it wasn’t considered proper for girls to do such things!”

“Proper? Ha! Do you mind if I tag along? I’m bored.” Merle simply tilted her head as she waited for an answer.

“Sure, knock yourself out…there it is!” He rushed over to the slimy trail, now somewhat fainter than it had been when he had seen it earlier. “Lunchtime soon!”

“Ya know? I heard about a naga eating slug girls….is it you? Her curiosity was piqued upon this possible revelation.

“Slug girls? Wait, do they look human?” As these words reached his ears, his hopes began to fall.

“You must not be the one. Never mind then. Yes they do look human.”

“Awww Dammit! Guess I’d better look for something else…” He began to slither away, now holding his hand over his very flat stomach, letting out a huge annoyed sigh at the same time.

Merle simply followed him as he complained, now sporting a mischievous smile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jessica was still walking through the massive forest, now utterly terrified. She had been stuck out in the wild for several days now and was regretting ever leaving the city in the first place.

She was rubbing her now bleeding nose, whining in pain. Looking at a nearby tree to see if it had the same notches she had made with her knife earlier. “Goddamn clobbersaurus…”

“Hmmm…Goddammit! I passed this way before!” She punched the tree in front of her as hard as she could, her hand quickly turning red from the impact. As her hand reddened, she began to shed a few tears. She sat down at the base of a tree and pulled out a small photo of a man and two children.

“Some leader I am. First my group gets separated, and then I get lost out here…” A few tears fell down onto the photo as she held it close. “I have to make it back. I have to….I can’t leave Drake and the kids alone….”

She pulled her handgun out of her holster and looked at it closely. Having used it to protect herself over the course of the past few days, ammunition was running low. Her knife was still in one piece as well, even with the great usage of it during her time in the wild.

She reached into her backpack, still keeping a close eye on her surroundings as she began to look over her supplies. Her food rations were at last beginning to run out, and her water was running low.

“I have to find some fruit or something. All I have to do is survive until I find the right way to go to get to the city.” It was at his point that she heard something above her. Grabbing her backpack, she dove away from the tree and looked up into its branches. She could only see what looked like a snake slinking its way down its bark.

“A human? Wow, I haven’t seen one in a very long time!” Getting a better look at this snake-like creature, Jessica realized that it was a human woman from the waist up.

Backing away from her, Jessica placed her fingers on the handle of her hunting knife, ready to fight this thing should the need arise.

“What’s wrong human? Scared of me? Well, you should be. I haven’t eaten.” This creature was now drooling as she finally hit ground and began to slither towards Jessica.

“Stay away from me!” The camouflage wearing survivor kept a close eye on the predators movements, ready to strike at any moment. In the shadows, made by the swaying branches overhead, the naga looked almost demonic.

The moment was filled with tension. Jessica was shaking as she pulled her knife from its small sheath on her side, keeping it just out of view. As she did this, the naga prepared herself to bound at the human, planning to pin her down with her tail.

Before Jessica knew what had happened, the nagas body was wrapped around her own. The pressure quickly began to squeeze the breath out of her. “Ha! Gotcha! Stupid human! Thought you could get away from me did you?”

Suddenly, she began to uncoil as a fierce, sharp pain flared through her bottom half. Jessica had rammed her knife into the hybrids scaly hide in a last ditch attempt to save herself. Her frantic attack had afforded her a window of opportunity to escape as she dove away from the hungry predator.

“I thought I told you to stay away from me! You’re not going to eat me! And do you know why? I have a family to go home to!” She was yelling now, anger quite evident in her voice. She looked beyond the naga and turned very pale at the sight she laid her eyes on. Without pausing, she turned around and began to run as fast as she could.

“Where are you running, you bitch?! Get back here!” She was now rubbing her stab wound as the human ran away from her. She began to feel something warm on the back of her neck though. At that instant, she turned around and came face to face with a gigantic, male, dark skinned dridder.

As Jessica ran throughout the brush, she could hear a loud scream being cut off behind her. She knew that the dridder she had seen had more than likely made a meal out of the smaller predator.

Hearing nothing more behind her, she began to slow down slightly. “That was scary….I almost got munched!” She leaned against a nearby tree, its moss soaking her hand with its absorbed moisture.

Sniffing the air, she got a whiff of an odd smell. Looking ahead of herself, she saw what appeared to be a wolf. Although, it was bigger than any she had ever seen before. The fact that it had six legs gave away the fact that it wasn’t a regular animal.

“Holy shit….I’m screwed….”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaiten was now slithering along the cold forest floor, slightly annoyed and nervous by the odd female following him. He couldn’t help but fear the strange stare she was aiming towards his body.

“Ummm…..why are you looking at me like that?”

Simple! You’re thin and scrawny, and I just like looking at ya! You’re such a different looking thing. Most people aren’t as skinny as you.” She simply poked his belly with her clawed finger, smirking slightly.

“Don’t touch me!” He quickly moved away from her, still not looking at her one bit. “Look, I’m looking for something to eat, so would you mind not bothering me like that ma’am?”

“Hmph! Wimp!” She proceeded to walk alongside him, now crossing her arms underneath her busom. “Y’know? You were looking at Dwayne really oddly….are you curious about his rash? It usually happens whenever he eats nekos.”

“Hmmm? He must be allergic to them. That’s too bad.” His voice seemed almost emotionless as he spoke. While he wanted to feel bad for Dwayne, he was a bit happier for the nekos in that Dwayne may be discouraged from eating them.

“What are you anyway?”

“I’m a Gypsa. Pretty hot wouldn’t you say?”

“Ummmm, not as such.”

“Hmph Wuss. Y’know, I could help you catch something to eat. That way, we could put some meat on your bones! You like humans?” She sounded a bit hopeful as she spoke.

“I don’t eat humans. Or anything that looks human, just so you know.” He was clearly annoyed at this point and his voice was good proof of that.

“Geez, if you’re gonna be rude, then I’m gonna leave. Good luck on your so-called hunt loser!” And with that, her wings began to flap repeatedly, quickly lifting her off the ground and filling the air with an incredibly loud buzzing noise. Within seconds, she was gone.

“Bah! Good riddance to ya!” He looked in Merles direction and waved his fist in an annoyed fashion.

Now being rid of the Annoyingly rude and forward wasp girl, Kaiten continued forth on his search to find sustenance. At this point, he knew he NEEDED to eat something, as his sight was getting very slightly blurry.

He tilted his head upwards and smelled the air, praying for something, anything to be nearby. To his pleasant surprise, the scent of wolf, or what smelled like wolf, was nearby. He quickly headed towards its source, drooling heavily onto his chin and shirt.

The grass underneath his enormous body was dampening it quickly as he rushed through the shadowy wood. Looking forward, he could now see an enormous wolf, circling a tree. On the other side of the tree was a human girl, trying to inch away from it.

“It may be a pup, but I can’t afford to play around here!” Jessica simply circled around the tree, keeping a close eye on the young kensha beast, knowing full well, that if it got ahold of her, it could easily rip her to shreds. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted what appeared to be a giant wearing a shirt in the distance, reaching down for a large rock.

Kaiten dove forward, slamming the rock down on the kenshas head, knocking it out almost instantly. Jessica just watched, frightened out of her wits, as the giant snake man shoved the unconscious kensha pup into his mouth and swallowed repeatedly.

Eventually, the beast was safely tucked away inside of him. At this point, he looked down at the trembling girl on the ground looking up at him.

“P-Please don’t eat me! Please!” He could tell now that she was shaking terribly. “I have a family to go back home to! Please let me go!”

“What are you doing out here?” He tilted his head in curiosity as he awaited an answer.

“W-Well…Y’see, money was getting a bit tight at home. With all the people coming to the city, property costs are rising. We needed more money to keep from losing our homes. I and a group of others went out into the wild on a job from somebody. To gather some weapons and artifacts from out in the wild. We got attacked by predators after finishing our job and we got scattered…”

“Uh huh, so what are you doing now?”

“I’m trying to get back home to my family in Negav City…so please let me go!” She was practically ready to cry at this point.

“Tell me, why should I let you go?” His tone was quite curious as he asked.

“Because….I don’t want to leave my children all alone…” As she spoke these words, something unexpected happened. The gigantic naga began to cry, his tears hitting the ground at her feet.

“That settles it! I can’t let you go then!” He quickly picked Jessica up and placed her in the hood of his shirt. “Which way to the city?”

She was dumbstruck. This massive predator was willing to help her get back home, and he didn’t even know her. “My name is Jessica….what’s yours?”

“Kaiten! Kaiten Monroe!” Though she couldn’t see his face, judging by the giggling, she was willing to bet he was smiling. Now! Off the Gravel city!”

“It’s..It’s Negav, not gravel!”

“Whatever! I’m taking you to the city! Once I figure out where it is…”

Near the Ascarlin Mountains

A man was running through a human camp, half yelling as though Hell itself was after him. “SIR!!! SIR!!! BAD NEWS!! BAD NEWS!!” He entered a large red tent, guarded by two armed men, still screaming. No sooner had he done so, had he heard an annoyed voice erupt from within.

“Quiet! You’re interrupting my relaxation time!” The voice had come from a tall man wearing an open dark red jacket, and torn jeans. Underneath his jacket he was wearing no shirt. He was sitting down in a small wooden chair and drinking tea from a cup while he listened to his babbling comrade.

“Sir! Now isn’t the time to just be sitting down and sipping tea! I mean….” He could see that his boss was now eyeing the teapot on the table in the middle of the well decorated tent.

“Two things. One. Pass me the tea. And secondly, I told you to stop calling me sir! Call me by my name dammit! Now what’s wrong?” He continued to eye the tea, now shaking his empty teacup in hand.

“Okay Marcus, I’ll pass you the tea after the report. You see…” He realized that Marcus was holding his left hand out in a manner most odd, much like a puppeteer would. All of a sudden, the teapot went flying from the table, directly to his hand.

“Never mind, I got it myself. Now, what seems to be the problem Joseph?” Joseph merely stared in amazement at Marcus’ act. In all his time in this world, he could still not get used to his bosses odd abilities.

“Well sir…it seems that there was a survivor or two from the team you hired sir. Some of our scouts just recently came back with this info. Jessica in particular. You wouldn’t want her to get back to the city. Last thing we need at this stage in the plan is a bounty on your head.”

“Relax Joseph. She’s probably headed towards Negav City, correct? We’ll just send some troops to get rid of her. And for extra measure, we’ll send Booster. If the boys don’t finish her off, he’ll get a good meal at least.”

“Yessir. I mean, yes….Marcus. I’ll send some troops out right now. Thank you for your input.” Joseph left the tent, now sporting a small frown, weirded out by his bosses actions.

Marcus simply smiled, now tilting his chair back and sipping tea straight from the pot. “Nothing like some tea to soothe the nerves. Especially in a Hell-hole such as this!”

To Be Continued

Nice.
