Find Them

Chapter 2: 'Find Them'

A few days later...

"M-My Queen," A Viperian soldier stuttered to an elderly female Viperian. "W-We could not r-retrieve the Ninja H-Hikari..."

The Viperian General, Venomi, turned around with supernatural speed. She almost had the appearance of a rat-snake; with light grey scales with black symbols running down her coil. Her eyes were a bright neon orange color; and her long fangs shone in the sun-setting light as she scowls at the lowly soldier before her. The most distinctive features, other than her eyes, was her silver armor upon her chest, arms, as well as her torso; and her crown upon her forehead, decorated with jewels and gems galore.

When she spoke; her voice was horribly hoarse, "What... do you mean you did not retrieve them...?"

The soldier cringed; her voice was terrible to listen to, but one should not mention the past to her. 'W-Well, t-they seem to have... p-passed away in t-the fire..."

Venomi said nothing; she simply slithered towards the dojo. More soldiers were practically hovering over the fake skeletons, before moving out of their Queen's way. Once she had seen the skeletons; she slightly growled in frustration.

"My sons." Venomi stated; the firm tone in her voice about 60% noticeable. Two shorter snakes emerged from the crowd of soldiers.

Poi-Shen; the eldest son (being twenty-two years old), scowled at the cowardly soldiers who had made him room. He resembled his mother immensely; bright orange eyes, light grey scales, the only exception was his fangs; as they were about half-way shorter than his mothers. For armor; he had a simple silver chest-plate, as for a crown; it was a simple amber jewel on a gold chain.

Fangz; the younger son (being eighteen years old), attempted to intimidate the soldiers, to which they decided to encourage the young prince by falsely flinching. He had some differences compared to his mother and brother. His eyes were as amber as the jewel upon his brother's crown, his scales had a slightly darker tone, and his fangs were much smaller than his brother's. He had a slightly smaller silver chest plate than his brother; and his crown consisted of a heliodor gem on a gold chain.

"Mother." Poi-Shen spoke; his voice sinister and menacing when he spoke.

Venomi took pride in her elder son; he was intelligent, ruthless, and so mature. Once she'd be done with her rule over the tribe; he would make a perfect king. Then... there was Fangz. He was a hopeless romantic; he would fall for any human girl who would catch his eye. The only thing Venomi was proud of in him was that he wouldn't fall for that weak little brat, Sonai.

Snapping out of her daze; Venomi turned fully to face her sons. "I have a mission for you two."

"And that is?" Fangz asked; his voice a higher tone than Poi-Shen.

The Viperian queen handed her eldest son a folded picture, "Bring me the Ninja Hikari." The elderly snake said in her raspy voice.

"B-But my Q-Queen..." The previous soldier caught his Queen's attention. "T-They are d-d-dead..."

SLAP!

The Queen struck her soldier, "IDIOT!" She snapped. "Can you not tell they have horribly tried to trick us?!"

Venomi clutched the "corpse" of Angie; before glaring at her soldiers and sons. By then; she had crushed the plastic skull. "Now... my dear Poi-Shen... repeat my order, would you?"

"Find the Ninja Hikari." Poi-Shen spoke; glaring at the idiot soldier before having him being sent off by the others to his demise. "Dead or alive; mother dearest?"
