Mini Feast (job)

job:

The wandering snake that went by the name of Babi was currently at a crossroads for the first time in his short life that he has had so far. He had tasted the flesh of human for the first moment he could remember, the same flesh that he originally was consisted of. His new body that he was still learning now seemed to have a craving for this new delicacy that he had discovered despite his protests to it. The Hunger that he has known since birth was growing louder with each passing moment. It was banging against the snake’s skull, screaming for human flesh. Maybe it was this strange form of his but it seemed that his desire for sustenance has seemed to only increase in strength and loudness. He knew that this was not something that he could ignore for long. This blinding gluttony had led him to take a human life as his meal by mistake and now he was being hunted by humanity itself.

This snake had managed to elude and slip out from the hungry gaze of his pursuers but that would not be the end of his troubles on this day. After he had managed to escape he had time to think clearly and realized that he had to flip this game of fox hunt and become the hound. If the 5 hunters had managed to get back to their village or city or tribe then rumor of a large snake like creature would spread like an infection and there would be an endless array of hunters looking to claim the beast as their prize. He would have to go and track them down now and devour them. While he had just ate he could always eat more due to his hunger. But this was also the best way to eradicate any trace of their existence. If he managed to devour them then they would become bones inside of his cave. Yes, this seemed to be the only reasonable path to ensure his safety and secrecy.

He had not made it far from the pursuers so he could taste their scent in the air with his tongue rather clearly, they were still close. However, it was too dangerous to hunt them down now. They were cautious and cautious humans were rather dangerous. He would need to stalk them slowly and unrelentingly. If he was good at it he could scare them and make them incredibly uneasy allowing him to pick them off easier. The true hunt will begin now.

He would wait in the sand for the next few hours till he has felt that they have finally vacated the immediate vicinity that he was currently hiding in. Enough time had past that that he was able to pass his previous meal through his body, leaving a large mixed pile of horse and man bones. Having no longer a meal in his body he capable of shrinking to his smallest form once again. This made it even easier for him to conceal himself and hunt down the hunters. He would slither through the sand making no sound and being much harder to see as he follows the scent in the air of the hunters. In fact he was following the scent of the horses since they were quite more pungent and easier to pick out for him.

It would be nightfall by the time that he had finally caught up to them, their horses at a constant steady speed away put more distance than he had expected. They were there in the sand resting but they did not make a campfire. This was in order to not track the attention of the beast that they had hunted but on the downside it kept them in the hard cold of the desert night. This would hinder him a bit as well since he was not a night hunter but he could smell better than he could see anyways.

He would move slowly towards the hunters seeing that there were only 3 horses instead of the fight he had noticed prior. Two of them seemed to have gotten away from the group and made their way back to where they came from. This was definitely not good for him. He had no idea where their home was so he was not capable of tracking them further than this camp. For now he would have to settle his problems with these current foes before figuring out what he would have to do next.

He would move close to the man furthest from the group. He would sit there watching quietly before suddenly growing to his maximum size and devouring the sleeping man whole. His screams would ring out before being muffled which would wake up the other two huntsmen. One would manage to grab his bow rather quickly and released a longshot at the beast who would spear the arrow with one of his long fangs which had retracted before extending out quickly.

He would then move to the 3rd hunter that had not managed to grab his weapons yet. The snake man would shrink to two meters in length before increasing his head to swallow the unarmed hunter whole.

He would attempt to bite the archer but he would use glancing blow with his dagger. In a final attempt he would wrap around the man squeezing him tight while sinking his venomous fangs in till his whole body would go limp. He would become the third course of the meal that he had set his eyes on for this very night.

With this he had taken care of over half of his problem as well as quieting his hunger for a small moment. He still had the problem of the other two hunters but he would have to think on that for now. His only course of action for the here and now was to return to his home, to his cave.

As he got close to the cave he would start to pick up a smell that was not one he was too used to till today, the smell of man was heavy inside of his cave.
