surviving felarya

(Okay, forgive my ignorance, but...by Rose's insides being turned into liquids, does that mean they've been weakened enough so they can be drank, but stable enough so that they still work?)

(yeah that does now lets continue)

(Okey doke.)

Seeing Arokleth walking off, she grumbled to herself, saying, "Stupid idiot needs to learn to mind her own business." She then carefully picked up the silk-wrapped Rose, asking very worriedly, "Are you okay?!"

“You had best not be so flippant about her fate, dridder,” Lenarei said menacingly, addressing Arkoleth. She landed near to the dridder and Rose. “If my friend dies from your venom, I will personally hunt you down and tear out your @#$% heart!”

With Rose gone for so long, Lenarei thought it best to look for her. Not wanting to leave everyone alone at the river, or alone with Nok’tara, she had found everyone and brought them with. Adam, Trav, Quarus, and Nok’Tara were in her pouch, while Grip and his travel sphere were carried in one foot.

Lenarei turned to face the dridder holding Rose. “You. I don’t know who you are, but if you value your life, do not try to harm that neko. Set her down gently. Trav, Nok’Tara, Rose has need of your skills.” Carefuly, Lenarei set down her pouch. Trav came out, still dripping wet and only dressed in his trousers. He clung to a bag of herbs and vials.

The dridder nodded, setting Rose down gently. She hadn't ever met a harpy before, but she knew that they could be very nasty if one were to get on their nerves.

Nok'tara stepped out the pouch, flapping her wings a bit to dry off. She had been a bit disappointed that their game had been cancelled, but she knew that Rose's life was on the line, so she didn't mind. Looking at the pouch and the bite marks, she said, "Nothing that can't be reversed. Trav, I'm going to heal her bite marks and get the venom out of her. What I need you to do is carefully peel the silk off of Rose while I'm healing her. She's might need some of those herbs as well to help her recuperate." She then placed her hands on silk-wrapped Rose, and a blue aura began to surround the silk cocoon.

Arkoleth shrugged she watched them help rose "wel if there not going to have use of her i might as well"she says grinning broadly she jumped over to the group knocking nok'tora off rose she picked the cocooned neko up as well as nok'tora thinking she was just harmless at that size smiling she leapt over the group and began to run from them without hesitation she stuffed rose into her mouth and swallowed the bulge could be seen moving down her throat then she raised nok'tora up to her mouth placed her inside and swallowed happy with the two meals she had just eaten.

Adam sighed he slithered out from the pouch holding quarus in his hands when he saw the large dridder he screamed and slithered away from her as fast as he could but ended up tangled in the dridders web he thrashed around violently knocking into the egg sack as he did the eggsack shook and one of the eggs fell out

Nok'tara only smirked as Arkoleth placed her in her mouth and swallowed her. When she reached the stomach, she cast a spell to protect Rose from any stomach acids that might enter the stomach. Her hands then glowed with a red aura, and she yelled out in a loud voice so that Arkoleth would hear, "Now you'll have to deal with ME, and all the powers of HELL!!" She then placed her hands on the walls on the stomach.

On the outside, Arkoleth's body suddenly burst into flames as she experienced the phenomenon known as 'spontaneous combustion'. However, this certain flame that coated the dridder's body wasn't burning the dridder to a crisp, but the dridder still felt the flames on her body, burning at her skin, even though the skin wasn't getting cooked.

Meanwhile, the dridder back with the others calmly grabbed Adam, saying, "Calm down, small naga. I'm not going to hurt you. Relax." As she spoke to him, she tucked the egg that was knocked out of the sack back with the other eggs.

Adam didn't believe the dridder at all he struggled in the dridders grip and screamed loudly thrashing violently with his tail wrapping it partly around the dridders finger and squeezing as hard as he could causing it to go purple in a hope that the dridder would let him go.

Arokleth screamed as she felt the flames upon her body "why are you doing this i only wanted the other dridder to eat well"she yells at the top of her voice as she rolls around on the grass trying to put out the fire on her body

"Hey! Let go of him!" shouted Grip to the dridder that held Adam. He realized he didn't really have anything to back that up.

------

Fenja had pursued the dridder that had eaten rose and Nok'tara. The dridder ran damn fast, but she suddenly stopped...and appeared to be on fire. Fenja carefully poked the dridder. Interesting. Not hot. She guessed the succubus was doing this.

"Alright, bitch, spit 'em up!" she shouted, gripped the dridder from behind and pushing her fists into its stomach.

Arokleth gagged and gasped as fenja punched her and held her she gagged and was soon forced to regurgate rose and nok'tora upon the grass angrill arokleth turned around hitting fenja in the face she jumped upon fenja "YOU LOST ME MY MEAL"she yells slamming fists into fenja and attempting to wrap fenja in her silk to cocoon her.

As Nok'tara and Rose were ejected out of Arokleth's stomach, Nok'tara changed herself back to predator size. She looked at Arokleth trying to wrap Fenja in silk, and he addressed the dridder in her demonic voice again, saying, "Oh, I wouldn't do THAT if I were you, dridder." She then pointed her finger at her, making her shrink until she was human sized.

Meanwhile, the dridder holding Adam winced a bit as Adam wrapped his tail around her finger. "Alright, I'm letting you down, okay?" she said, lowering him down onto the ground along with Quarus, who had wrapped herself around Adam's thumb. The dridder then turned to Grip, smiling at him, saying, "Hi, cutie." while she nuzzled his head with her finger.

Adam sighed and slithered away from the dridder as fast as possible without looking back at her he then hides behind a bush but comes out a few seconds later when it tried to eat him so he resolved to hiding behind lenarei.

Aroklet screamed when she found herself human sized "not fair you you heater"she yells at nok'tara and runs hrough the succubus's legs and starts to try and run from nok'tora

Nok'tara looked as Arokleth ran away, saying, "Go on ahead, I'm not stopping you. By the way, how's a dridder-hating naga going to respond when they see you, eh? Two words. Free. Lunch."

Seeing as how Adam wasn't running anymore, Quarus planted a kiss on Adam's thumb before sitting back down in his palm.

in the cocoon rose struggled weakly due to the fact most of her internal organs were now liquid she mentally screamed from the pain she had no idea what was going on outside bt she knew it couldn't be good or safe she tried to get herself noticed by struggling as best she could.

Seeing Rose struggle from the silk cocoon on the ground, Nok'tara gently picked it up and lifted to the cocoon to her face, saying, "It's me, Nok'tara. I'm going to try and heal you now. Start wiggling around when you start feel good enough to get out." A blue aura came from her hand like when she caught her and Grip in the dridder temple, healing Rose's organs, making them solid again.

rose felt the aura wash over her it felt pleasant despit her situation she enjoyed it she was still too weak though and only wriggled a little it hurt her to move and even breathe she wiggled a little and tried to say she wanted out of the cocoon but the silk had sealed her mouth shut so she resolved for just wiggling.

Feeling Rose wriggle from inside the cocoon, Nok'tara gently used her sharp nail to cut open the silk that had kept her contained. She then scooped up Trav in her other palm, and joined it to the one that Rose was in, saying, "You'll have to use your herbs up here. That dridder might try something."

Fenja pulled a string of silk out of her hair.

"Yuck. This stuff is disgusting. Are you alright Rose? Geez, something else put you in it's mouth. No offense, but we might as well start calling you Lunch. I don't know what is more amazing - that you're the tastiest thing on Felarya, or that you've survived so long being the tastiest thing on Felarya...."

------

"Uh...hi." said Grip. Alright, so far, not agressive. And Lenarai was nearby. His chance for survival for today was getting better.

"I'll say." said Narin, trailing behind Fenja and holding Arokleth in her talon. "It's almost as if you're a predator magnet sometimes, Rose. But anyway, is Rose okay, Nok'tara? And did this dridder have anything to with it?"

"She did. Rose was injected with a venom from that dridder that turns one's insides into liquid. I've restored her organs back to normal, but she still needs some herbs to help recuperate." the succubus said, still holding Trav and Rose in her hand while Narin winced, saying, "Ugh, that's gotta hurt."

Meanwhile, the other dridder with Grip giggled at his blunt response. "You're funny." She then put her hand behind him and scooped him up gently, bringing him up to her face as he sat in her palm. "So do you have a name? Mine's Liena."

Trav moved onto the hand holding Rose, and knelt at her side. He pulled a vial from his pouch, opened it, and poured some of the liquid into her mouth. He followed it up with some water. “Rose, drink this. It will ‘elp counter the venom,” Trav said. He also got a few leaves from his pouch, ground them up, and mixed them with a little water. He spread the resulting paste over her bite wound. It had a strong smell, but not an unpleasant one.

“After swallowing you, I thought there’d be nothing left but ashes of that dridder,” Lenarei said to Nok’tara. “That’s twice now you’ve saved Rose’s life. Thanks.”

“Now, what to do with this little runt?” Lenarei said, looking at the shrunken Arokleth. After a moment, she shrugged. “I’ve already had breakfast, and dridder doesn’t taste that good anyway.”

Nok'tara looked up at Lenarei with a small smile on her face, saying, "I was only helping her out. Think nothing of it." She then glanced at Arokleth's shrunken form, saying, "Anyway, since no one is being threatened by her at the moment, I have no quarrel with her. Do what you will."

Narin thought for a moment, saying, "I don't know what to do with her, either. I mean, I'm not exactly a punishing type of harpy, and I can't really eat her since she's alive."

Arokleth struggled in narin's grip "hey let me go how was i supposed to know anyway it's not my fault anyway the dridder um i think her name's liena caught her anyway i was just helping her eat well"she says as she struggles to escape.

Rose groaned in pain as she drank the liquid she gasped when trav put the paste on her bite wound pain coursed though her body momenterily "thanks for the assist guys i don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been there but i can only imagine anyway i found a dridder to look after the egg i found"she says smiling

Hearing what Arokleth said, Narin looked down at the shrunken dridder she held, saying, "Um...if she wanted your help, don't you think she would've asked for it?"

Seeing Rose recuperating, Liena went over to where Nok'tara was holding Rose and Trav with Grip still in her palm, saying sadly, "I'm so so sorry! I didn't know she was going to do that to you! I swear!!"

Arokleth shrugged "between you and me she's a bit ahem laid back infact if she didn't have kids i would have already eaten her by now"she says with a satisfied smile

"its ok no harm done were all safe now"Rose says smiling she glanced at arokleth "thats diisgusting you'd eat your own kind how you like it if she ate you"she says gesturing at liena

Liena sighed in relief as Rose forgave her. "Thank you. And I'm not one to eat one of my own kind." She then turned her attention back to Grip, saying, "Anyway, I think I was asking what your name was, wasn't I?"

Nok'tara's ears perked at what Arokleth had said, and replied, "Don't push the limit of my mercy, dridder, or else."
