Snake Season

Chapter 6: Questions Answered

Nathan looked at the snake. Their eyes seemed to connect. 

"Yeah my name is Nathan, these are my friends, Lance and Alexis" Frost smiled

 "These are my friends. Orla Leo and Willow" All the snakes gathered around closely and studied Nathan. 

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Nathan managed to mumble out. Frost smiled. 

"As the same to you." Nathan reached out to touch Frost. She looked confused at first but then understood. She nuzzled at his hand. Her skin was hard and cold. It was not rough. Smooth like a piece of metal that had been freshly sanded and polished. His hand didn't cover much though. She was huge compared to him. Alexis quickly joined Nathan and touched Frost. Her excitement could not be contained. 

"I am a huge fan!" Orla and Leo scrowled. 

"She's everyone's favorite." Orla said with a jealous tone. Lance laughed and looked at Orla. 

"Who said? Maybe your my favorite." Lance winked. Orla looked confused but satisfied. 

"Really?" 

"Maybe." a slight smile appeared on Orlas Face. Leo jumped in before any more could be said. 

"Okay enough chit chat. We have a world to save." Everyone was startled. Leo looked mad. 

"We need to pay attention to the task at hand." Willow nodded. Nathan looked at leo.

"What task?" Alexis and Lance gave their attention to Leo. Frost began to speak. 

"The snake we fought today is an ancient creature. He is one of us, but he is not. He once had his very own season that would reset everything. It would melt the world down to nothing. The trees, the structures and all living organisms that once lived here. Every year this season would come around destroying everything we had done. We call this season Isires." Willow jumped in. 

"Isires is not good for earth at this moment. creatures of many species live now, more than have ever arrived as we lived before." Nathan looked confused.

"So how did you stop Isires from coming? How is it that the other seasons were still here when you were banished? Wasn't you all put in the same hole?" Leo quickly replied. 

"We used a spell to stop his season. If you say a few words and have the right elements you can disable a season from arriving." Frost nodded. 

"I am the only snake who knows how to activate Isires once more. However I can not given the circumstances that we have been given." Alexis understood, however Lance needed more clarity. 

"If you guys are the protectors of earth, how come you don't want Isires back?" Lance asked. 

"Because we wanted the world to be safe. We wanted the life on earth to have a chance." Willow replied softly. 

"oh." The three humans were surprised with the response. 

Carlton was in his office scratching his head. Two men were standing over him. 

"Why in the hell did you let those beast escape?" They demanded. Carlton looked at them. 

"Those Beast are legends. Killing them would be nearly impossible. Also they protected us from that thing." 

"You mean the black cobra?" One of the men asked. 

"Yes Oscar the black Cobra, But they gave it a name. What was the name?" Carlton questioned himself. 

"I'm going out boys, you two behave." The two men snarled and let him through.
