Chapter 40
Snake Report: DayTwenty-seven? I'm not really sure anymore.
The two humans have woken up and made camp in the middle of the rune-covered floor.
Coming clean here: I might have had something to do with it.
It took some ingenuity.
Camp Big-Foot ground level, I tried to see what would happen if I put the tip of my tail down on the room's floor. It was an experiment, just a curiosity to know if it was just all in my head.
Well, my tail started smoking almost immediately. Those pretty blue scales of mine were singed like I'd gone and rolled it around in hot coals.
It seems that the terrain is most certainly not-ok for me to enter. Strangely enough, it seems that the Humans are unaffected. When I asked [Voice of gaia] "what gives?" The magic replied with "[Sanctuary space]" so I'm out on a non-existent limb and write this up as intended.
The Big-bad-boss was defeated, and now the heroic adventurers have a safe space to rest. That sounds about right.
To me, anyways.
So, how did I wake up the humans? There's a question with an interesting answer.
In the abbreviated story, I threw a rock at them. When it landed, the rock broke and they huffed some of the fumes.
I'm a bit proud of this, mostly because I lack arms so throwing should have been impossible. I can pick things up with my tail, but it's still a bit tricky to lob anything with accuracy.
So I got creative.
Against my better judgement, I put another one of those glowing crystals in my mouth. Then I spit the thing so hard it practically exploded on impact.
I call it: [Fire-ball II: Rock-launching]
First try, one shot. Not bad, if I do say so myself.

But I'm a bit nervous now.
Hissss...
Some things only become obvious upon reflection, you know? The details I was casually overlooking for the sake of species preference.
I'm a snake.
More accurately, I'm a snake Monster in a deep and evil cave where everything is out to kill just about everything else.
Further: One of those humans shot a stright up hyper-beam when they were probably already half-beaten to death.
They're dangerous.
I'm "Dangerous"
Kin-ship aside, we're not about to hold hands/tails and sing kumbaya. Hissing polite formalities at them will probably give them decent reason to try and murder me.
I'd rather not be murdered.
Operation [Earth Molding towards the heavens] seems like a safer bet than human interactions for now.
I'll observe from afar in the meantime.

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
