Elva was moseying through the dimly lit forest, blue eyes wide with curiosity. The familiar scents of pine and redwood greet her senses; her naturally curly brown hair bounces with each joyful step she takes on the pine needle encrusted ground.
She knows this enchanted forest like one knows a lover, no intimate detail escapes her gentle caress.
Today she's on a mission to find the half snake man all the villagers have been gossiping about. Elva even attempted to talk to the only woman in town who had stumbled upon its nesting place by accident.
When the woman named Stella came back we had to lock her in the cellar, Stella tried to escape and find the mysterious creature, the only remedy was to tie her to bed ignoring her cries and furious ramblings...
I take a deep breath and let it out slowly, "focus Elva you have a mission here today, no pussing out" I coach myself quietly.
As I walk thoughts are racing circles in my head "What if I do find him?"
"What do I do?"
"How do I prove it?"
"Will he know how to heal stella?"
Suddenly I stop, my eyes scan the clearing I came to for any signs of movement;
Seeing none I continue on my quest to find this "lamia".
The light cutting through the leaves above dances on the forest floor, swaying the shadows caused by the leaves ever so slightly; this action causes me to jump nervously while eyeballing a harmless pile of dead brush.
More apprehensions try to bar my way as I continue stalking through the forest, my small frame at only 5ft can easily navigate this terrain.
Nagaa
I see the young woman making her way towards my lair, looking around wildly, her petite frame adorned with shabby dull brown shorts, her top sports a rather revealing chest wrap that doesn't continue down on to her midsection.
