"Come here my babiesss," Solas crooned to her snakes in the snake-tongue. She had 5 of them that she had found in various parts of the world, and they were very important to her. Being part snake herself, she enjoyed her Dhani form, which let her show both sides of herself. It was time for her to show the world the intriguing beauty of snakes. Her snakes all slithered forward to her, knowing the rewards they would get if they obeyed. They were all venomous, and could easily kill a person, but Solas didn't mind. She had full control over them, and thoroughly enjoyed showing them off. She shifted to her human form, as to not scare anyone that wasn't accustomed to it. She stood up, it was time for her audition. Turning around, as if she was facing an audience, she crouched low and hissed at her snakes. The smallest, a red and black one, slithered over and she stuck her hand out to it. It crawled up her arm, winding itself around it, until she had her own live snake armband. She stood up, and this time hissed something else, unintelligible to everyone else. A different snake, this time a fully green one that was quite larger, slithered around her in a circle. It reared back, looking as if it intended to strike, but instead launched itself at her. This one wound itself around her waist, her own living belt. She stroked it a few times before continuing. As she hissed her third command, a black cobra slithered forward, slowly inching towards it. It flared its hood, and slowly worked its way up her body, winding round and round, making hypnotic motions as it went. If anyone was watching, they would have been unable to take there eyes off of it. The cobra stopped as it neared her head, and flicked its tongue out at her cheek. She murmured to it, and it let its hood rest. She had something different planned for the last two snakes. They were quite a pair, a large snake that could easily crush a person, and another of equally large size. One was an earthy green, the other, an earthy brown tone. They slowly wound themselves around each other as she hissed, forming a live double-helix. They continued on, and untangled themselves, as they turned around to face the audience. They went on forward, splitting paths, and made there way around the small area. Solas had placed various objects around the circle, which had gone unnoticed before. The brown snake crushed the wood that had been left on its side of the circle, as it coiled itself around it. The green snake mirrored the movement on the other side of the circle, with another piece of wood. They uncoiled themselves, and continued around until they met each other again. This time, they headed towards Solas. They reached her feet, and at her command, coiled themselves up until they resembled ropes. She could do a lot more things with her snakes, but this was all that she felt comfortable doing at the moment. Signaling to her snakes that they were done for now, they unwound themselves from her, and slithered back to the holding box that she had made for them to keep them warm in. To reward them, she gave them each a mouse as a snack. Once she was done, she turned around and bowed, signaling the end of her performance. |
