Chapter 4 - 4 - I've Got A Snake Down Below

Long Aotian was falling at a rapid speed. He could not control the atmospheric pressure. His huge dragon form was extremely wounded trying to fly back to his plane.

He kept falling past many panes. His huge body caught on fire as felt his body enter an atmosphere of the plane. He could only revert back to his childhood form to reduce the atmospheric pressure on him. He started falling aflame right into the plane.

In the distant kingdom, Astronomers observed the sky from high towers. One such old man saw this shooting start knew exactly what it was. He ran back to the royal court room to inform the king of the good news.

The door to the court was opened with a bang as the astronomer ran in and said "Your highness, the heavens have opened up. They have shown an auspicious sign." he stood bowing in front of the court members.

"What is the news?" the king asked but the astronomer hesitated to answer in front of so many people.

"Court adjoins" the king ended their morning court to hear about the said auspicious sign in private. All the ministers and court members left bowing towards the large double door. The last member left the court room closing the door behind him.

"What is the good news? Quickly tell me" The king urged his subject.

"Your highness, a dragon has risen" he said in a low voice.

"A Dragon!" the king stumbled from his thrown as he ran down to hold the astronomers shoulders.

"Yes your highness, a dragon has fallen. The direction points towards the north from here" the astronomer said with a joyful smile on his face.

"Wonderful, I can live longer now. The heaven have spoken. They want me to live longer!!" the aging king exclaimed. A dragon's essence is said to make a human immortal. Ancient kings of the past were known as Dragons because they had the essence of a dragon gifted to them. A dragon's scale is said to protect you from any mortal damage. Its eyes is said to cure even the incurable decease. Its entire body is a treasure.

In this world there are many existence, unknown to us but. But greed is always prevalent. Human long for things that they don't posses; it can be money, power, beauty or maybe even eternal life.

The human king wanted to posses the dragon body to show his almighty power to other kingdoms and to extend his pitiful life. Likewise many faraway kingdoms came to know about the auspicious sign.

A dragon hunt was officially formed. Many kingdoms sent their most powerful hunters, sorcerers, magicians and cultivators.

A time where people craved eternal life started. Ordinary people likewise participated in the hunt to gain power in their respectful kingdom. Many people gave up their lively hood to participate in this treasure hunt. This would later lead to a worldwide food shortage. But the future is unpredictable indeed.

On the other hand Long Aotian fell unconscious because of lack of air. He kept falling for a very long time. Finally the fireball landed on a snow capped mountain. Melting away all the snow and ice.

Unconscious dragon tried to find warmth. He found a very warm place and wormed into the said cave and fell asleep.

Xia che woke up from a very long winter. He opened is eyes and found a big are of plants had been scotched by something. "Maybe someone burned them intentionally" he though. But he later discovered that his favorite rock was smashed and huge crated was formed in the place he was frozen.

He looked up at the sky and thought "Oh something fell." After Yukiya left nothing caught his interest anymore. He was little sad to see the Therillium flowers they had cultivated together was destroyed by the fire. He waved his hands and everything restored their usual appearance. Grass grew and flowers bloomed but he could not create snow. So the mountain that was eternally plunged in ice regained its spring again.

He got up from the spot he sat. and walked up the huge crater. He felt somewhat weird feeling down his pants. He had never felt like this before. Blushing he pulling his pants to look inside. But what he found inside startled him so much that he screamed on top of his lungs.

A small black snake had coiled on his jj and seems to be slithering and tightening. Xia che tried to pull the snake off of but the snake seems to hold even tighter as he pulled.

"if it goes on anymore, my poor jj will break ahh" he said in tears.

Long Aotian felt very comfortable. The very strange heat was also emitting a good smell. He coiled around it unconsciously. But someone tried to disturb his peaceful sleep. He held on even tighter. 'no one can separate me from this heat source!' he though and went back to his slumber.

Xia che tried every method to separate the snake from his intimates. But the snake seems to have a mind of its own. It started coiling even tighter around him. "The snake seems unconscious and hurt. Maybe when it wakes up it will let go" he thought. Blushing he sat down unable t do anything to resolve this stupid snake.

"I want to pee so badly," Xia che cried to the snake. But it seems too comfortable in its place to care about him. He waited and waited for 3 or four days but the snake did not want to move from its spot. He ended up being constipated for days as well. He was unable to resolve his natural urges for days to the end.

"This cursed snake was definitely sent to punish me" he thought. His luck had been in the down low after Yukiya left. One day he tried getting honey as usual from the sycamore tree and the burial bees got angry. They chased him through the entire meadow, stinging him. He tried walking nearby the river and tripped and fell on the ragged rocks. Many such incidents proved to him that had indeed lost his luck. "I have indeed become unlucky," he sighed.

So just like that poor little Crayfish ended up having his jj being coiled by a ugly snake for 6 months now.
