The creature could be heard screeching in as Kaamil managed to escape this law-defying space. A blinding light flashed into Kaamil's eyes, blinding him as he passed through the hole. As he exited, all the pain he had experienced physically disappeared; even his eye went back to normal. Eventually he felt a pushing force crashing into him from above, and suddenly the pain came back, but this time it was coming from his head. It wasn't as intense, but it was still present and hurt fairly bad.
When he came back, Kaamil could find himself in a forest. If he took a quick look around, he would notice that he was still at the same place, though; he had apparently ended up in the small forest that was at the base of the volcano. The temperature was stable, although a bit high; but that was to be expected, what with being near a volcano.
And besides all the scenery, he would see Drawser kneeling right next to him, almost
over him, even. Her eyes were slightly red, and she seemed on the verge of panic. She grabbed his shoulder and his arm when she saw he had came to, relieved that he was safe.
"Y-you're okay! You're okay!" She breathed hard from the stress, and she tried to blink some tears away.
"I-I thought..." Oh, all this he had gone through! It was all because she hadn't been able to protect him!
But beyond Drawser, there was another mysterious character...
Much taller than Drawser, there was this mysterious stranger standing nearby. He wore a weird attire, and he had characteristics unlike those of normal humans. His long hair, pitch-black with orange highlights, curled at the tip like a chameleon's tail. His eyes were a deep red color, and a yellow ring stuck out of the corner of each eye. He had a presence similar to that of the strange fox and the unknown creature, but it wasn't exactly as strong, or exactly the same kind of presence.
When he heard Drawser squealing over Kaamil, he looked around to face the two kids. He didn't say anything and instead simply looked down at the thing he was holding down under his foot: a strange, unusually-colored snake that had empty eyes. It had a white, snowy body, with a thick ring around its neck, colored in black and gold. A strange, powerful force came from that snake. The black emptiness of its eyes, ironically, could show just how twisted and wild the snake was, hissing madly at both Kaamil and the man holding it down.
The guy squeezed the snake down some more, raising an eyebrow at the thing. He stuck his tongue out, and... as another weird characteristic to add on the list, his tongue simply rolled out of his mouth until it had almost reached his stomach. What an unusually long tongue!
"I squish little ones like you for breakfast now," he told the snake in a flat tone, with confidence underneath it.
"Ones like you are kinda not worth the bother anymore."Could that snake be...?
