The Shadow Of Fangs, Feathers & Fur
The massive serpent’s tail whipped forward, winding around Soulus's body in tight, suffocating coils, pinning his arms to his sides until his ribs groaned under the crushing pressure.
Malakai drew his massive serpent head back, his black scales catching the dim, unholy light. With lightning speed, he lunged forward, piercing his long, hollow fangs deep into the side of Soulus’s neck.
Soulus let out a muffled, strangled gasp. A dark, black-veined curse flooded from Malakai’s fangs directly into the boy's bloodstream. Within seconds, Soulus’s eyes rolled back into his head, his body going completely limp and lifeless within the tight coil of scales.
