I've spent years looking for this civilization. Countless days spent researching legend, listening to rumors, and doing everything I can to find the mysterious civilization. Most people anticipate the stories to be just that, stories. But I am convinced that Anacondo exists. all the evidence is there, countless stories of snake people wandering the jungle, although often the stories differ.
Sometimes the stories say there are snakes that walk around on two leg like humans, others say that there are giant snakes with the top half of a woman. I'm going to find out. It's humid, causing me to sweat profusely through clothes. The ground is soft, and muddy from the recent rains. Making it difficult to trudge through. The vines are thick, but no match for my machete. That being said, my arms are getting incredibly sore from the constant swinging back and fourth.
I stop and wipe my brow. Pull out the map I found at the library in a small village. This map, if the rumors were to be believed, was drawn by and adventurer two-hundred years ago who stumbled upon this civilization. It should be just another mile or two up the way. I put the map away and take a swig of water from my flask. Then I keep pushing forward.
After about a half hour of trudging through the jungle I start to see signs 'Turn back!!' one says, 'Death ahead,' another states. I smile to myself. These signs bring hope, it must mean I'm close. I push ahead, but not for long, suddenly the jungle clears. In front of me is a giant crevice. it seems to go for miles in either direction. Conveniently enough there is a wooden bridge that crosses the crevice. I sheath my machete and slowly begin the trek across the bridge. With every step the bridge moves, it feels like each step has the potential to br-
"Woah!" I shout my foot falls as the wood underneath me. I grab onto the ropes on either side of me to prevent myself from falling. I heave myself up, is... is that a mouth underneath me? No I'm crazy. I continue forward. The rest of the journey is uneventful, however I can't help but feel that there is something in the crevice underneath me.
I reach the other side, greeted by a dilapidated archway. The artwork on the archway, although faded is of a bunch snakes. This must be it. Anacondo. I continue forward, following a decrepit brick road, covered in dust and dirt. I see foot-prints, interesting. As I follow I come across buildings, mainly huts of wood, some of them made of brick and they seem somewhat maintained. Finally the road leads me to what seems to be the town center, surrounded by buildings with signs, ancient shops maybe? The road wraps around a fountain. The fountain is magnificent, made of stone. The statue resembles a snake with the top half of a female human. The snake portion flat on the base of the statue the human portion is, I guess, standing? Her left arm at her side, her right arm lifting her hand above her head in her hand is a... Human? The human feet just barely in the mouth.
Suddenly there is sharp pain in the back of my knees forcing me to fall to the ground. When I look up there's a large group of people in front me. None of them clothed. A tall Dark skinned woman stands in front of me with a club.
She kneels down, her brown eyes piercing mine. Suddenly all I see is her black hair, I feel her grab my sides and. What the fuck, she's licking me. She peels back, a thoughtful expression on her face. I try to stand up, she quickly hits me in the gut. I fall back down, she stands up smiling. She says something in another language. The people around me begin to chant something unintelligible. The world goes black.
When my senses return I realize I'm in some sort of cave. I also quickly realize that I'm naked. I look up, the woman from earlier is in front of me, her back facing me her arms outstretched as if to receive a large item. She's speaking. She stops. Turns around and smiles, then casually walks away.
I can sense a presence, a large presence. approaching me, I don't hear footsteps though. My mind flashes back to the statue. Oh no. I know what this is.
As I come to this realization the being comes into view. She's massive. At least fifty feet tall. Her face soft and young looking down at me. Her human skin dark her lips red. Her scales a very dark green.
"Fuck." I can't help but breath. She's gorgeous, and terrifying at the same time.
"Surprising isn't it?" She says, her voice booming in the crevice. I jump, surprised from the sudden words, and from the fact that this creature knows English. "None of my snacks ever expect to be brought here, nor do they expect me to know their language." She bends down, her large breasts jiggling with the movement. Her pointer finger and thumb grab my sides. She hoists me up to face level.
"How?" I manage to spit out.
"Interesting, most are unable to even speak in my presence. You could be a fun little toy. to answer your question, I am a God, those people are my followers, I let them live, in return they capture stupid adventurers such as yourself and bring them to me to play with." She smiles. " however the most recent ones have been boring, unable to move in my presence, if you are able to entertain me, I might just allow you to live longer. She sticks out her tongue and licks me, I feel as if I'm being crushed by a giant wet squishy rock. when she pulls away I'm covered in saliva. "Hmmm you taste good. This, this is gonna be fun."
