Eros looked all around him.
In this forest, his attackers were all the sa.
These were dusa won.
A specie that were born with half snake and half human characteristics.
They all had their arrows pointed at him.
Eros tried to move and three arrows were shot at his feet.
Evidently violence was a solution these won had concluded for him.
Eros had gathered a lot of sufficient information from the bar.
The current problem of the sanke forest was not the trees, but those that could control them.
The adventurers called them the snake people of the forest.
While the rchants called them devourers of n.
These won had a reputation for usually staying hidden and taking n, but these last few days, their actions have been rather very bold and unbridled.
They usually attacked in the night ti and they only took n, not won.
All that have ever been taken always ca back worn out like life had been taken from them and only a few actually survived afterwards.
However, fir the last few days, any one that had been taken has not returned.
This included both n and won. Which was rather strange.
However, the dusas never had a good reputation amongst n or beastn. Whether it was n or n and won that were being taken did not matter.
Most would kill them on sight and it is said that the Axe guild hunted them and gave rewards whenever any of them was hunted down.
However, Eros had rules.
One of them included not hurting won unless it was absolutely necessary.
Eros hung his walking stick on his forearm and lifted his hands up in surrender.
"I have no quarrel with you. I only want my grand son back."
The mont he spoke, all the won paused and looked at one another in surprise.
The reason for this was because Eros had talked not in the usual human tongue but in the snake language.
One of the dusas suddenly stepped forward, "you speak the ancient snake language!?"
The dusa that had stepped forward looked younger than the rest but she still towered three feet over Eros.
If she was a normal human, she would have been considered an exceptional beauty worthy of princes flocking about her.
She face was smooth, blessed with full, lush, attractive and slightly innocent lips that gave and inviting charm.
Her eyes were anointed with long eye lashes that gave her eyes that extra attention when she looked at a person.
Her chest was moderately endowed.
However, dusas had three breasts.
What she was packing could definitely pull any man with it's hypnotic effect whenever she moved.
Her impressive chest led to a slim tummy waist that looked like a polar carrying too much weight above.
After which ca her hipped waist that led to her remaining half that was the lower body of a snake. It was bright red and well peppered with black spots.
Eros nodded to the charm she exlided. Even the cold look she carried on her face cold not dim her shine.
Apart from the clothes to cover her chest, she wore beads around her neck and had snake totems on her body.
She would have pulled noble n to their demise if she was human. However, she happened to have been born a dusa.
Eros looked around a little. He noticed that the other won were also beauties.
Apparently, this race was greatly loved by the heavens.
"Yes," Eros nodded, "I can speak your language perfectly."
The more he spoke, the more surprised the won were.
After all, the Snake language was not sothing that the human vocal cord could carry.
They were many, scholars, language experts that had tried but all ended in absolute failure.
Teaching the language was not the problem, but speaking was.
One of the dusas moved forward and whispered into the ear of the younger looking dusa.
She nodded in accordance, "my na is Shade. I will like to extend an invitation to you to see our shaman."
Eros heard this and sighed lowly, "I'm sorry, but I'm on a tight schedule and..."
Eros words froze in his throat as the Arrows were raised for his head once more. Apparently he did not have a say in this one.
"Okay! Okay!! Lead the way. Just stop with the arrows please. Soone might let loose their fingers and I don't want to be shoot again. It's not exactly a nice feeling."
The dusas led the way and Eros followed behind them.
He was brought to what looked like a temporary camp.
There were other dusas here.
On reaching the camp, he heard so familiar voices calling for him.
"Granddad!!!"
"Lord Eros!!!"
Eros turned to the voices. It was Dan and Lady Frostbite.
They were being led to a corner tied in ropes.
Eros could see that they were so others with their hands tied together in a corner.
Many of them were soldiers from the Bolos Territory.
Others were either chants or adventurers.
Clearly, the dusas were at their kidnapping job again.
"The harvest as been good, lets go back to the village," Shade ordered, "you stay behind !" She addressed Eros.
"I wouldn't want to be any other place," Eros nodded with his eyes on her waist.
The other dusa ladies nodded at Shade and instructed the prisoners to get on their feet.
However the mont they did, two adventurers imdiately broke out of their ropes.
Imdiately, they rushed for an escape however, a dusa imdiately rushed before their escape route.
*HISSSS!!!!*
she hissed loudly at them, her forked tongue wiggling wildly in the air,and her eyes becoming the a golden colour.
Imdiately the Adventurers looked into her eyes, they froze and their bodies visibly turned to stone.
"Huh!!!"
The remaining prisoners were surprised by the sudden turn of events.
Shade turned, and slithered towards the prisoners, "any one that tries any more escape dies," her tail moved with incredible sharpness, smashing the two statues.
The statues fell like dust.
Just like that, the two had died.
Seeing this, Dan wanted to struggle. However, he suddenly heard Eros's voice on his head, "not yet boy. Patience!"
Dan looked in Eros direction and he saw his Grandfather wink at him with a smile.
That was all the encouragent that he needed to know that all was alright.
Lady Frostbite had long used a part of her gown to cover her exposed chest.
She had also wanted to escape, however, Dan whispered into her ears and she cald down.
They began on their long march through the forest.
Eros observed that these won had perfect control over the snake trees.
At their command, a path was made for them to follow through.
The sun was high in the sky and it was a hot day, but in this forest, travelling under the sun was made easy.
After another two hours of marching, Eros had started to see a mountain far off in the distance.
"Halt!" Shade commanded and the march stopped.
"We rest here thirty minutes."
The prisoners sighed in their exhaustion.
The won of the dusa tribe rested at different points, so of them enjoying water from their bottles.
Shade sat in front of Eros offering him so water.
"Thank you, but I rather you give my grand son instead."
She nodded and sent the can of water Dan's way.
"Who thought you how to speak our language?" Shade asked.
"Well, if I must say, I think it's better to just think that I was born with it."
Eros chuckled a little. There was no way he was telling this woman that he could speak all languages under the sun because of his origin as a god.
While they conversed, Eros noticed mont deep within the forest.
This was movent that even the dusa won could not sense.
"Hmmm, it would seem that we are not alone. Are those your neighbours?"
Just as Eros had finished talking, a huge snake rushed for one if the dusas.
They tangled in a fight on the ground. As they did, more snakes also attacked.
Because of their speed, every other person thought that it was just snakes.
However, Eros had seen them properly. These were not just snakes. These were Nagas.
These were also a specie of snake people, a tribe of only won.
However, the nagas did not have dusa head, they had heads of actual snakes.
They had snake heads, human like bodies, but still had snake lower bodies.
In other words, aside having human like parts like hands, a upper chest of three breast, they were entirely snake.
One look at the way the nagas and the dusas fought and one could tell that these two tribes did not like one another.
The nagas were a lot. Their attack on the dusas created an opportunity for escape for the prisoners.
Imdiately, Eros also moved. his aim was to rescue Dan and Lady Frostbite.
The place had suddenly beco a battlefield....
