#serpent's venom

~Part 2~

Most thought it was Ominis to be feared since he was a Gaunt & the Gaunts were the darkest wizard family of all, but Ominis didn't radiate the cold chill of death like his family did most of the time. He only gave off that chill when upset, but he kept his temper under control & went with words to break his opponents. It wasn't Ominis that was to be feared, not after what happened to the Sallow twins... it was Sebastian. If there were warnings to be heeded, there were two for certain that the students agreed upon. The first was to never upset Ominis since his family was a huge threat to everyone, the second was to never try Sebastian's rage in a duel. Ominis was tame compared to Sebastian when he got mad & Sebastian's rage was unheard of ever since the day Anne got cursed.

Of all the students that participated in Crossed Wands, Sebastian was the most ferocious of them all. However, when it came to his sister, the mere mention of her name tempted his anger. Her name triggered the memory of that dark day she was stolen from him, bringing out a rage so strong that he radiated the cold chill of death... something that Ominis couldn't ignore, nor could anyone else. Sebastian's hatred burned when anybody said her name & although he aimed it at none within the castle since they weren't the ones who hurt her, that rage of his was certainly felt in the duels by those who faced him. He dealt far more damage than usual, knocking his opponents clear across the room, even with their shields up. There was no escaping the heat from his onslaught of using Incendio, Bombarda & especially Confringo for anybody around. The clock tower felt like a harsh summer day on those days when Sebastian was unhinged a bit, but it paled in comparison to what he turned into once he was actually around her.

Feldcroft was a battlefield on the outskirts with goblins, poachers, Ashwinders & wildlife roaming about. Every time Sebastian went home, it was fireworks for hours on end as goblins & dark wizards tried to raid the place. Sebastian didn't give a damn who it was, but the goblins were his most hated foes & when Anne just happened to have one of her intervals of extreme pain.... a goblin nearly ended her. Sebastian acted in time to save her & although true, he used an unforgivable curse, his rage went into a black-out state because she was in danger. He didn't care how long it took, nor how many foes he had to deal with, but when it came to his sister's life, nobody was taking her away from him. Her sickness was already doing just that & Sebastian hated it the most, even more-so than the one responsible for cursing her. He could take down dark wizards, witches & goblins easily, but that damning sickness was one foe that he hadn't found a weakness in for two years.

His mind & heart darkened with hatred after slaying the goblin that nearly ended Anne from his uncle kicking him out of the house. It didn't matter to Sebastian how he saved his sister, but the main thing was that she was alive. She had done nothing wrong to deserve being attacked, Sebastian knew that & as her brother, he defended her. Anne was innocent & Sebastian didn't care who thought what of him for how he saved her after that day. She was his sister & nobody was going to tell him how he should & shouldn't protect her. Unforgivable curses be damned, he'd use them if it meant she lived to see another day & that was a far better use of them than hurting innocent people like Ominis' family did. Sebastian didn't use the unforgivable curses without good reason & only if it was a need, but when it comes to Anne... hell hath no fury like he does when it comes protecting her.

Her sickness pushes Sebastian's instinct to protect beyond normal because it is from the Cruciatus curse that it was born from. It's something that shouldn't exist & yet, it does. That sickness, for as long as Anne suffers from its painful spikes, causes Sebastian's heart to break more & more by the day. That sickness isn't just stealing Anne, it's also stealing Sebastian as well & Anne sees it in him. Sebastian's heart lies with her & for her, he do anything to bring her out of the shadow of the sickness that has chained her in a dungeon of demise.

"She's MY sister!"

How was I supposed to not ship them?

Sliding Daniel's glasses up is such an iconic Jack move.

I just love the look Jacob gives Sam.

It had been so long since he remembered his old life, the life before his death, he sometimes got flashes and they ached deep in his chest. Like glass in his heart, so he was grateful he didn’t remember anymore. He stared up at the lights above the large tank blowing a few bubbles to watch them rise, his wrists heavy in his lap weighted down by the shackles and chains, a collar tight and choking his gills barely giving him enough air through his ribs. His tail was long and flowing, almost like fabric, his scales a dark iridescent green that shimmered bright in the lights of the enclosure denying him darkness to hide. How long had he been here now? Made to sing for a man who was addicted to him and his voice like a drug, his hair shifted and flowed around him like tendrils as he closed his eyes and began to sing. His voice rippled through the estate melodic and haunting, a melody accompanying him by shadowy whispers and hums of impossible sounds that seemed to bleed through reality. An abyssal song for a lonely siren.

It is I.

Snake Nerd, here to tell you more about snakes. This one is gona be a bit more scientificly dense, but very interessting.

Today’s fact, Snake teeth and Fangs.

There are four different types of teeth/ fangs. Or better like one type of teeth and three types of fangs.

Frist are the non-venomous snakes. These are called aglypen snakes. These snakes have no fangs, just normal teeth. See your Pythons, Colubridae, Boa and every other non-venomous snake.

Next are solenoglyph snakes, these are the snakes that come to mined when thinking about snake fangs. The Fangs of these snakes can rotate by 90 degrees, when their mouth is closed the fangs are nicely tucked in the mouth. If they open their mouth their fangs jut out by a pretty good amount.

These are your Vipeirdae and Crotalinae. Depending on the species of snakes the fangs can be 2cm to 5cm long (google won’t cooperate so I don’t know what it is in inch)

Third are proteroglyph snakes. Here the fangs are fixed in their position in the mouth, only able to move a little bit. This is why these fangs aren’t as long as the fangs of solenoglyph snakes. Snakes that fall in this category are cobras, Elapidae and Hydrophiinae.

Now this one, if you know this one I’m going to be very impressed. This is the secret third type of venomous snake that’s not very well known. Opistoglyph snakes. They’re venomous snakes who’s fangs are located further back in of their mouth, right under their eyes. Also, the fangs are in pairs.

God examples for this type of snake are hognose snakes and False water cobra. (one day, one day I will have false water cobra, and I’ll love it)

As you can see, you have quite the choise when it comes to your Naga!boys. Plus depending on the fangs it could make for some cool characterization, potentialy.

I am absolutely making notes about teeth and how they could translate to the naga boys! Not to mention a good host of snakes that can be used as bases for such creatures hehe I'm also fascinated with the fangs that can be tucked away before springing back out—imagine a wide grin framed by two wicked fangs!

Augh, eats all these facts like desert

Viper sat in the hospital bed gingerly sipping at the straw in the bottle of mango fizzy, his green. serpentine eyes partially blown in enjoyment as he did his best to swallow the drink down without it spilling down his chin or escaping his mouth. The IV drip lead to his arm trickling antibiotics and pain relief to help him cope with the burning itches, as various shades of green scales broke through his skin all over his body like freckles. He rubbed at the hospital gown and shifted the covers over his legs, looking to Izzy he tried to speak and it came out as in incoherent slur as his jaw unhinged at the slightest motion, baring fangs to the air before he covered his mouth embarrassed still not used to his sudden changes as he looked to the woman who helped save him and displayed a message on his RIG public display screen: It tastes really good and it feels like the food is staying down this time, I don’t feel as sick as I did before. He said looking a bit proud of his progress during this rough time on the quarantine ward.
