Snake Season

Chapter 4: Dante

Nathan and Alexis started to see the snakes leave. Suddenly the earth shook beneath them. The black shiny head towered over the four snakes. The snakes voice was dark yet bold. His eyes were Deep purple, and his teeth were sharp like swords. His hood opened as he hissed. His tongue was long and it slithered quickly as he smelled his surroundings. "hello old friends" Nathan watched as Orla and Leo snapped forward about to attack the snake. He slithered out of the way quickly and wrapped himself around the two. Frost looked scared as the sky seemed to coordinate with the events playing out. It was a greenish color. Nathan looked confused. Things where about to go south really quickly as Dante looked at the humans who were now all pointing their guns at him. Dante slithered over to the humans.

"Are these real beings?" 

Frost nodded, she looked at Dante with an untrusting smile. 

"Yes, ever since we threw you out the earth has been way more habitable for more than just us"

Dante glared at Frost.

 "Yes I remember, you threw me out because the season I had was not natural. However i am here to get it back, and I will stop at nothing for it to return" Frost looked enraged.

"people will die if you get your season back. The earth can not handle five, only Four. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn." Dante hissed at Frost.

 "My season was one of kind. It was a refreshing for the world, it started things over so the environment could be put back in place." Frost looked at the road beneath her. Willow seen the worry in Frost's eyes. 

"He is lying Frost, and you know it. His season brought chaos and monsters. He is the greatest threat to life. That's why we banished him to the underground."  Frosts face of deep thought then became the face of determination. Her blue eyes began to glow as she formed a huge ice sickle that flew at Dantes face. Willow's  eyes grew green as huge vines came amongst the ground and wrapped around dantes large body. 

"You will not defeat me again" Dantes black eyes widened as huge portals released a type of bug like dragon. Dante smiled and escaped, Orla and Leo followed him as Frost and Willow took care of the new beast that had emerged. Orlas eyes grew orange as a tornado of leaves surrounded Dante. Leo's red eyes brightened as a blast of heat swallowed Dantes body. It slowed him down a little. He then released more portals. A water like dragon and a small leaf sized creature appeared. Dante slithered away quickly and up into the mountains. 

Frost and Willow teamed up on the Bugish dragon. 

"Clear out humans." Carlton looked onto the field where the dragon and snakes fought. 

"We'll send help!" he then drove off. Nathan looked at his watch. 

"Oh no I forgot about Emma! she's probably scared to death." The dust and rubble made backing out rough. Nathan backed out quickly and began driving to school. Orla and Leo were taking care of the new creatures. The little leaf creature was quick. His movements were swift and fast. He had a little bow and arrow and a sword. He drew it out and flung it towards Orla. Leo was taking care of the water dragon. It was literally made of water. All of Leo's attacks were going straight through the massive beast. 

"Orla switch opponents now!" 

"Got it" Orla looked at the dragon she was now facing and thought of a good idea. she slammed her body onto the dragon. the water splashed against the ground and sprung back up ready to join the dragons body again. Orla's eyes began to glow and the leaves on the trees came off and surrounded the dragon. 

"Leo get Frost now!" Leo gave a huge breath of fire and the little creature was scorched dead. Its little voice was muffled by the sound of burning flames. Leo quickly slithered to were Frost and Willow where fighting. the Green Insect dragon was looking tired. Willow quickly wrapped her body around the dragon as she tightened around him. The dragon let out a painful shrill and tried to bite. However willows grasp was to tight. 

"surrender or die!" Willows raspy voice spoke with power. The dragon still tried to fight. the dragons brain splattered against the ground. The dragon's body fell to the ground. Frost looked at leo. 

"Orla needs you Frost. Come quickly!" Frost nodded quickly slithered to where Orla was. The dragon had grown a little bit and was huge. Orla looked at frost and nodded like she had a plan. Orla jumped up again slamming herself into the dragon. water fell down but came back up ready to join the body it had once be apart of. Frost knocked it back down with a blast of cold air. the water froze but still joined the dragon. The dragon slowed as the ice was connected though. Frost let out a freezing breath surrounding the dragon in cold ice. The dragons speed decreased as its body was slowly turning into an ice block. Orla looked at Leo. 

"okay your turn" Leo looked confused at Orla not understanding what she wanted him to do. Suddenly the idea popped. Leo and Frost slithered around the block of ice that was. they both took deep breaths and let them out at once. The heat and cold combined making a huge cloud. Willow's eyes began to glow as vines gripped the block. The ice was melting but the water was now being used to give life to the new tree blossoming into a mighty tall giant. the leafs were blue, and the wood was smooth. there came a fruit from the beautiful tree. The dragons spirit had been developed into the tree and now was at peace. Willow spoke. 

"it's not the creatures fault he was summoned. He was probably scared out of his mind. Not everything needs to be handled with violence." Frost nodded understanding the wise snake who gave life. Orla and Leo were surprised with what Willow did. 

"I think we should look for Dante and make sure he isn't messing stuff up" Frost said. They all nodded and slithered away into the woods. The tree now towered over the small town and could be visible for miles. The tree gave fresh new air. suddenly the damage that had been done finally came to focus. Nathan looked for Emma at the school. She was sitting with her friends happily and laughing. Nathan rolled his eyes. 

 "So much for being scared."
