Vorisk's Casual Dining Out
Vorisk lies on a large rock sunbathing and enjoying the mid afternoon heat. All of a sudden there comes a gurgling sound from his belly. Looking down at his body he licks his chaps as he knows it’s time for his next meal. Now Vorisk being a fifty foot Naga Anaconda, he has quite the appetite. He takes the time to stretch out his arms and large chest. He looks down admiring his heavy, thick and powerful coils that have taken the lives of so many innocent creatures. Small cracks can be heard from his body as his bones crack back into their regular position.
“Hummm, now where ssshall I hunt for my next victim?” Vorisk thinks to himself. Shaking his head in frustration, unable to think of a place he decides to go slithering through the forest on a random hunt. Slowly he uncoils himself from his rock before making way into the damp marshlands. Flicking his tongue in and out, trying to get a good taste of the scents in the surrounding air he proceeds through the thick underbrush of the hazy and mucky forest.
Searching for a while for an appetizing meal, Vorisk has no luck but comes across a large river leading further south. “Perhapssss I ssshall have better luck hear, after all they sssay tasty caimansss flood these watersss.” With that Vorisk slithers into the water with ease, though now being in the water gives the anaconda a greater advantage against his prey. With incredible speed and grace, Vorisk travels beneath the surface of the murky waters below.
After about an hour of searching through the long waters finally spot what I’ve been waiting for. A large caiman lie resting at the water’s edge. “Yess the long await hasss paid off.” Stealthy I slide under the water heading towards the caiman, slowly creeping up to it poking my head out if the water seeing if it has noticed my presence. The caiman lies there lazily enjoying the mid afternoon sun on the sandy bank. Then the silence is broken, making a huge splash disturbing a large flock of storks and other creatures that may be around I lunge at the surprised caiman.
Quickly I bite down on the caiman’s neck sinking the rows of tiny teeth deep into its flesh before dragging it with me into the depths of the murky waters below. The sudden surprise attack has greatly angered the caiman as it quickly turns its head towards me in an attempt to bite. Seeing this I move my claws up to grab its maw shut holding its head down and restraining the caiman while dragging it deeper to its murky demise. With the caiman struggling for its life I begin the coiling process, slipping two thick coils around its waist and tightening. Now at the bottom of the river and I have the caiman exactly where I want it, moving my head towards the maw of the caiman I give it a sly grin. Sliding my coils expertly around the caiman’s body, this now has my victim encased in three thick coils, ready to give the fatal embrace. Greatly annoyed at being bound the reptile continues its struggles for it desperately is trying to find a way out of the serpent’s death hug.
Chuckles in a raspy voice, “yesss ssstruggle all you want my prey for in the end nothing can sssave you from me.”“Please let me go!” The caiman begs looking into the naga’s unblinking eyes. “I don’t wish to become your…” “Your meal?” Vorisk chuckles to himself then gently rubs a claw over the caiman’s long snout. “Ohh but my ssscaly friend you know the routine. I’m the hunter and you’re the hunted. It’sss the cycle of life” Too baffled to think of a better argument the caiman continues to struggle. Snickering Vorisk begins to apply pressure against the reptile’s chest. Feeling this, the caiman claws start to clench together at the sudden feeling of the constricting strength of the anaconda. “Stop pleas… hurk!”
I loop one more coil around the caiman’s maw, silencing him from his screams of protest. “Sssave it for my belly, you deliciousss morsssal.” Those thick and heavy coils begin squeezing the caiman’s ribs tighter and tighter.
Vorisk casually lies his head down on the muddy floor next to the struggling victim. It always amuses him to watch as his prey suffocates. The caiman’s tail begins thrashing from side to side, claws digging in the sandy floor and slowly the vision fading. I can feel the heartbeat of the caiman increasing trying to pump more blood to the brain. Feeling this I begin constricting tighter, and tighter. The caiman’s maw trying to open for any chance it might get for air. Showing no sign of letting up with my deadly grip tightening with each breath that the caiman takes, the pressure is so immense there is a sudden pop. “Errrk,” the caiman lets out a gasp of pain as already one of the reptile’s ribs has started to crack. The caiman now in aching pain shaking his head back and forth with my coils continuing to exert the lethal embrace on him. I force my coils around his body holding him still. “Ssstay ssstill and sssubmit.” There was another loud crack as the caiman’s body spazzed for a brief moment and eyes went wide. The caiman’s vision was slowly fading.
Vorisk continues to watch while his prey is helplessly crushed to death. His claw tracing against the caimans snout nostrils. Those coils still squeezing... tighter.... and tighter..... In those very coils he could feel the reptiles heart beat coming to a slow and steady halt. After a good five minutes of giving the fatal squeeze all life from the caiman had faded, eyelids shut and body lying there motionless. Now it was time to eat. "Yesss it isss time my prey, time I devour you and make you apart of these thick coilsss." Vorisk adjusted himself still having his meal still gripped tightly in his coils shifting about to get at a better angle for swallowing his hard earned prey.
Lying there in the bottom of the murky water he now starts the process of swallowing his prey. Unlike other snakes which take around an hour or more to swallow prey as large as their own bodies, Vorisk being quite adept could undertake such a task in less than ten minutes. He moves a good portion of his body around to the front end of the lifeless caiman but still using two coils around the waist to hold secure. "Yesss you were quite the catch there my scaly brother. But you ended up becoming quite a deliciousss meal for a rather large and hungry snake. I will make sure I give you a proper resting place in my belly." The anaconda unhinges his jaws and begins to taking in the caiman in snout first. Reaching in front to grip the meal with my claws I pull the lifeless prey deeper into the warm confines of his throat. The sounds of jaws stretching wider can be faintly heard making room to accommodate the meal gently guiding the caiman deeper into the snakes body. The caimans outline takes shape rather quickly stretching out his belly scales and showing a noticeably large bulge.
By this time there is no need for coils around the remaining lower half of his prey. He can grab the tail base with his claws and assist himself for the rest of the swallowing process. The naga continues to work his maw over the back spikes of the caiman soon coming to the hind legs. Tilting his head upwards he lets gravity and some help of the water to slicken the path for his meal. After about five minutes and with only the tail hanging from the anacondas maw, he realigns his jaws slowly closing over the tail. Satisfied Vorisk laid his head upon the bottom of the murky water. His constricting throat muscles pull the remainder of the prey to the hungry awaiting stomach. Two to three minuets later the meal is now in the middle of the massive snake waiting to be digested and added to this anacondas powerful body. Lying there Vorisk moves his head to rest on the bulge as he thinks to himself. "Who will fall victim next to these deadly coils"? With the anaconda naga drifts off to sleep on the bottom of the river.
