Serpent Breathing Forms Novels & Stories

Then another. A coil thicker than I’d ever seen before. My heart slams against my ribs. A serpent. But not just any serpent. A leviathan. The creature’s body winds through the entire chamber, ancient scales layered over muscle that could crush a house. Faint blue lines trace between the ridges of its armor-like plates, glowing dimly beneath centuries of scars. At first glance, it looks like part of the cavern itself. Then its chest expands. Slowly. The movement pushes clouds of silt into the water as the massive rib cage rises before settling again. The pressure of that breath ripples through the water around me.

The hurricane wind sliced the dragons climbing the stairs into several pieces of meat. “Wow! Allan surprised. This was the first time he had to see his mother transform into a dragon. Allan carried the baby egg and began to run through the pillar structures in the auditorium. A dragon serpent lunch forward chasing after him.

Leon bolted, his breath ragged, but the serpent was far faster than he had imagined. In the blink of an eye, its cold, muscular body coiled around him with crushing force. The air was forced from his lungs, his ribs screaming under the immense pressure. His face turned pale, then a sickly shade of blue as he gasped for breath.

When I looked into its eyes, it froze me in place! The serpent crashed into Kronos full force into his stomach, sending him crashing back first into the labyrinth wall. Blood flew from his mouth, and Kronos gasped for air. As he hunched over, clutching his stomach, the serpent crumbled into shards of stone then reconstructed into two stone serpents. The two stone snakes hissed viscously, and both slammed into Kronos. The force of the impact sent Kronos crashing through several labyrinth walls. The Half-Breed was unable to move as the two snakes became four and hovered over Kronos; after a collective hiss, three of the four slammed into Kronos once more.

The snake hissed louder and reared up, its massive jaw opening, revealing rows of dagger-like teeth. Her voice deepened unnaturally. “I command you, creature of curse and earth—burn.” A force exploded from her body like lightning breaking free from clouds. Fire, dark as blood and bright as the sun, surged from her palms and wrapped around the serpent. It shrieked like a dying banshee as it writhed in agony. The flames danced along its body, coiling and tightening. In seconds, the monstrous anaconda fell, charred and disintegrating into the ash that now blew away on an unseen wind.

In his logical mind, Cameron knew it was hallucination brought on by the effects of the poison, and that was what was constricting his breathing, but it was impossible to clear the vision from his mind. He opened his mouth to scream, and the name that emerged made the serpent stiffen in clear surprise. “Brenna? Brenna,” he called again. Saying her name helped ground him somehow, and he continued repeating it as the serpent that sometimes shifted back to his brother flew him aw

Chaos gathered before him and formed a thin transparent wall that acted as a shield. *Boom* The fire breath struck the wall, yet it could do no more. The serpent watched in despair as its fire breath was fully absorbed by the wall. Its eyes were laced with even more fear when its own attack was returned to its mouth. *Boom* *Hiss* Along with a loud hiss of pain, the lower jaw of the serpent was broken. Its eyes flashed with helplessness at the current development, and it couldn’t but feel that it wasn’t going to get away this time.

She sided more with the early sailors and eyewitnesses who first called them “sea serpents” Although the specimen was mostly submerged and hidden by the darkness, she knew from her books that hippocamps had short tails and flipper-like limbs that they used to paddle their way through Pan-Terra’s oceans. Being reptiles, they needed air to breathe so they always stayed close to the surface and didn’t really dive too deep. They used their necks in the reverse way giraffes would feed: they reached down with them to search for prey on the bottom. They had curved teeth which were useful for catching fish and squids.
