Chapter four

Goblins.

The night lasted long, as the group of new Lizard folk arrivals stood around the camp fire amidst the caravaners drinking and feasting on the meats of their kills. Daugh and Flynt had sat together under the veil of the treetops across the pond for what seemed like forever. Daugh, after pulling himself out of the little Black Rat carried the small mammal over to the pond and slowly immersed the rodent within the waters. the great Reptile knelt in the water and rubbed his hands all over the Rodent cleaning his mess away, a mess that leaked profusely from between Flynt's delicate little thighs. Once done Daugh had used his cloak of leather and inumerable furs to dry both of them off. A final kiss to the rodents nose and Daugh patted his bum ushering him to go to bed, having seen Flynt yawn multiple times when washing the reptile assumed the little rodent was bushed. Back in his robe the little Black rat staggered dragging his feet towards the yellow top wagon, he let himself inside and thankfully the duo of serpents were already fast asleep. Flynt crawled in between the Scaley couple beneath the blankets and curled up into a fetal position. slumber came slowly for him dragging him under to an uncomfortable sleep in the little rats mind he was silently hoping he would not have another terrible dream.

Flynt's ruby depths were slowly revealed as the ash grey eye lids peeled slowly away, blinking blearily the Rodent's lips parted showing his slightly yellow front teeth as the jaw drew back in a great yawn. At the same time the rodents small nude body gave a taught stretch, licking his lips he froze. He felt points of claws slowly drawing down his back again and again. looking up the rodent lay his gaze on the smiling amber eyes set in the sockets of Thrisha's head her beautiful glinting garnet arm was laying over the rodent, scritching his back gently.her coils were loosely encircled around the Rodent a sensation the small male would never get used to, but would never shy away from.

The lack of the male Naga was evident with his lack of warmth and presence in the bed. giving another yawn the rodent leaned his head against Thrisha's beige belly.His lips once more parted to draw a wide yawn. Thrisha giving a few soft giggles, finding the rats yawns to be cute. Flynt mumbled about not having his robe on when last night he went to bed with it on. the Naga females hand was stroking the Rat's back in a grinding gentle manner along his grey spots. her tongue slithered out to flutter then went back in,"I took it off dear one,when bedding with us i do not want you to wear clothes." she looked at him with a motherly smile,"I want to feel your fur against my scales child, understand?'' Flynt gave a slow nod accompanied with a soft smile then another stretch. He then noted the wagon was moving, but the sun was not as bright as it had been yesterday when he awoke.His red eyes peered at the skylight his mind quietly wondering where the wagon had gotten to, processing what had happend last night, weather it was fact or not that he lay down with a Lizardfolk thrice his size. Why being wrapped in muscular ropes of scales did not bother him as much as it should, the home he had to leave behind. Was he truly ready to call the Naga pair his parents?.

Thrisha hissed softly drawing the Rat's attention from his many, many questions and with a mild scolding tone,''I was worried about you child,you stayed out very long last night, I know I am not your mother but I do worry about you." Flynt blushed lowering his ears at the chiding he was receiving, he tried not to notice her coils tightening around him with her words.The squeezing coils did not feel aggressive, more like possessive perhaps

The Naga woman rubbed her hand along the crown of his butt before patting it a few times, did she know?."Up little one, tis not good to bed whilst the day has been awake longer than you." with that she unraveled herself from Flynt and slithered out of the bed, her long elegant ruby coils slipping from the bed to trail their owner to a closet. As Thrisha donned a long tunic with bell sleeves Flynt hopped out of bed planting his furless feet on the wooden floor he gave another long yawn and stretch before wandering over to where his robe lay on the floor, scooping it up he pulled it over his head slipping his arms into the sleeves then with a smile he pulled over the olive tunic Sjinjel had given him. not tying the thongs this time. Flynt donned the scarf wrapping it around his neck. He found the bone and stone necklace and slipped that on tucking it beneath his scarf then on went those sandals followed by his little sword belt. Thrisha smiled at his outfit with approval as she herself was sliding on a few extra layers of clothing."Be sure to keep yourself wrapped up little one." Spoke the Naga sliding over to trace her hand across the rodents ear."It is going to get colder the closer we get to the mountains." The rodent smiled and nodded gently. Hesitantly he leaned into Thrisha giving her a warm hug, the Naga woman was all to happy to lay her arms over the rodents back tucking him against her torso."There there, go on little one greet the day, me and Sjinjel wish to hunt when the carts stop." The Naga woman held the Rat against her for a long moment before ushering him from the wagon.

It was very foggy outside, the wagons were rolling through a forest again, this one seemed much more dense than the last. Branches bumped and brushed against the wagon tops, the resonance of clopping hooves echoed in the eerily close silence of the woods. Flynt leaned against the railing on the Naga's wagon.The Rodent's red eyes peered down at the snorting boar pulling the Orc wagon along behind them, the Rodent;s eyes trailed upwards to the drivers seat and lay upon the Orc sitting in it.

The Orc driver was different from the one Flynt saw yesterday. This Orc's skin tone was not green but instead it was red!.the muscle bound humanoid had no shirt on either the cold obviously not bothering him.He merely wore a pair of patchwork pants and boots. He was different from the Orc before but was staring at Flynt in the same unnerving manner as the previous driver. Then to the Rat's surprise the Red creature raised a hand and beckoned for Flynt to come over patting the space next to him on the seat. Hesitantly the Rodent took a step off of the Naga wagon's stairs,hopping gently down onto the road he quickly moved to the side out of the Boars way. Flynt then hopped up on the side steps of the older wagon on the Orcs side, the little black Rat smiled sheepishly to the large male as he awkwardly clambered across his lap feeling he should at least try to trust the Orcs and true all others in the Caravan.

The Orc grinned and grabbed Flynt by the hips quite suddenly and pulled him back coaxing a squeak of surprise from the Vermin's lips. the little Rodents bottom landed squarely on the orcs lap. Flynt's fur stood up as he blushed beet red across his snout. He could feel something stiff under his rump he hoped it was just the hilt of some weapon but to Flynt's dismay he knew it was not a weapon and the young rodent was quick to try and scramble from the orcs lap who simply laughed heartily and lay a heavy arm over the rodent keeping him in place."Now now,don't go getting skiddish on me boy." chuckled the Orc in that gravely voice common place for his species.The Red Orc kept the young rodent in his lap sitting him perfectly to where his thankfully robed bottom was pressed against the mans groin. Flynt gave a few stubborn tugs to get away from the orc who only chuckled and held him tighter against his chest."Now calm down there ya lil guttersnipe, aint safe for your kin t'be wandering in such fog as dis." he waved an arm at the fog gesturing as if the Rat couldn't see the cloud setting."Yew should hop in tha back'o me wagon ere!, be safer fer you!." Something in the Orc's eyes was off, The rat knew obviously the Red creature wanted to rut the smaller male. But there was something else, that heavy hand kept tugging on the robes neck and his eyes continued to peer under the nape to gaze at the rodents back fur, the stripe and spot patterns hidden mostly, but the red Orc knew of Flynt's species and how highly prized the rodents pelt was, to the right buyer.

Before the black Rat could protest more a gods blessedly familiar voice sang out and both Orc and Rodent eyes shot to take in the familiar visage of a large ocean green and blue Lizard folk dressed in full gear holding a large halberd,"Nah i think the boy will be safe with me." Rhinshin gave the Orc a look that would suggest denial to be a poor pursuit."I think you should give him to me." stated the reptile in a very flat tone, as the Orc grunted and prepared to spit a retort his eyes caught the shadows of other Lizard folk, each carrying spears,and shields, each in their battle gear of mix matched armors ranging from leathers to metal, and bone.Grunting the red orc patted Flynt's head a lil to rouphly and put both hands to work on the reigns, "Aww now i was jus playin wit the kid." feined the Orc, Rhinshin held out an arm to Flynt and gave him a nod,without speaking or hesitating the young robed Ratling stood up and walked along the foot rest then with a short hop was hanging on the large reptiles arm.A look of warning to the orc and the leading Lizardfolk trotted forward,holding Flynt against his chest, the jingling of metal scales on leather sang out as he trotted forward.The orc grimaced when almost nine lizard folk, some his size others much larger ran past him.

Rhinshin was a glorious specimen of reptile he was a warrior no doubt by his body build, but it would seem he also enjoyed his food though he didn't seem to heavily hindered by his belly. The large lizard slowed to a pause near the front cart he turned about and gently set the rodents feet on the ground and nudged him before kneeling and waving for another reptile to come over.that waving hand came to rest on Flynt's shoulder, "now listen pup, these woods might be dangerous an this fog only makes it that much more precarious, this is Amber tongue one of my best hunters." Those red depths turned to look up at a wall of toned reptilian muscle, a kilt of some form of reed and fur hung over his thighs and down to his shins his belt held several pouches, a leather bag, and the skull of what looked like a human.He also held another belt that kept a single short blade over his left hip, his stomach area was exposed, his skin was a beautiful Amber orange with tinges of yellow here and there where the scales were softest, yet he had markings of a darker yellow almost mud colored all over his chest and stomach. over his shoulders a belt held a short cape of linen sewn into the linen were scales off of some beast Flynt swore he would never meet.

Flynt could not see the lizards face for a carved wooden mask was over it a sandal brown mask of tribal carved ash wood with jewels and bits of metal embedded into it around the crown of the reptiles head looked to be some form of great plumage of reds and whites. The glint of yellow eyes hidden in the mask stared down at the rodent for a long quiet moment as Rhinshin began to speak again.

"He will take you ahead with two of my other hunters where some of my warriors have gone ahead of us during the night to make safe the road." Rhinshin pinched a clawed finger under the rodents chin to turn him to face that tribal leaders muzzle,"he dos not speak common, but he knows about you, and I know what you and Daugh did last night." Flynt gasped and blushed red deeper than the ripest of Strawberries his fur stood up on end and his body got warm.The pot bellied reptile chuckled and pinched the rats snout,"don't worry,he didn't tell me, I was watching you two from atop my wagon." that still didn't keep Flynt from blushing,"Daugh didn't tell everyone, I did, I let my hunters know you were marked by one of us.and that you are a friend to us." the large sea green Saurus rose and spoke in some language Flynt did not understand to the so called, 'Amber tongue' a growling guttural mash of half words and grunts, whistles and hoots. Amber-Tongue gave a nod and lay a hand on Flynt's shoulder and before the rodent could think or do any kind of responsive action, he was slung up into the air and cradled against Amber tongue's bare chest. A chest that began to heave and tilt as those legs kicked their feet into the soil spurning the reptile onward up the road."We will meet you there Flynt!." called Rhinshin as the little rat was carried away by the Saurus warrior. the rodents head was against the chest of scales his velvety ear pressed against the chest listening to the whooshing breaths of the Lizardman.

Flynt was not used to being carried like this and was uncomfortable with no breakfast and little information to go on such as where was Sjinjel?. where was Daugh?. why was he of all folk being specialy taken to where an entire group of only Lizardfolk were holding out?. what was so important about him a young clueless Rodent.The little black Rat simply let flow what he could not control. Amber tongues armor rattled as each of his hurried footfalls made their own chorus along the narrow winding road that stretched along neath the dense forest canopy. the crowing of frogs and the buzzing of insects created a horrendous chaotic ambiance. The reptiles toes squished into the muddy ground,leaving shallow footprints behind his sprinting tail, Flynt murmerd a little bit but never spoke. Allowing the reptile hunter to do what ever he was told with the rodent. Flynt soon lost track of time, how long was he in the arms of this reptile carrying him along the road to where the others were?. The rodent still groggy fell right to sleep in the runners arms bobbing and bouncing like a doll. It was a strange sensation for the rodent, he had only been out of his home in the human city for three days, and already he had become attached to a couple of nagas, rutted by an overly affectionate Lizard warrior obviously twenty years older than he.and now he was being carried away by a lizard warrior to where other lizards were, he felt oddly safe in the reptiles arms he knew the lizardfolk meant well. they seemed to care for him even though he had not met more than a few of them face to face, and from what Daugh had mentioned the night before, Many of them wanted to bed him.

Flynts crimson eyes slowly drew open to the song of a thousand insects entering his tender velvety ears. the young rat yawned inwardly before looking up at the lower jaw of the reptile cradling him the reptile was walking at a leisurely pace. Flynt's little clawed hand reached up to rub along the beautiful reptiles jaw his black lips emitting a soft squeak.Amber looked down to the rodent and smiled under that mask before leaning his head down to nuzzle gently into the rats belly,"Aphira." spoke the reptile,Flynt had no idea what that meant, but assumed it was a form of greeting. Flynt's confusion was seen by the lizard who simply smiled and rolled the rodent around to gently set him on the ground and pointed at an entire party of lizards sitting amidst some old ruins,the road was no where to be seen instead the rodents bare feet were set on a narrow trail overgrown with foliage on either side. A large reptilian hand patting on the rodents backside ushered him forth towards the group giving a gentle squeak and a blush Flynt trotted towards the voices of several reptile kin speaking between one another in a language the rat did not understand.

The eyes of those reptilian warriors turned to take in the image of a small four foot tall black rat trotting towards them his paws held in front of himself with fingers laced together. a shy blush on his face as his sandald feet sinking into the muddy ground with each step. The heavier foot falls of Amber-tongue trotted along right behind him the young rat had to hold his tail up to keep it from being stepped on by the reptile.The familiar voice of Daugh rang out as he stood from his seat on a log and started towards the rodent with a smile,"Flynt!" he called in a happy gleeful tone or as much of one as a near seven foot tall seasoned warrior could muster. the reptile lumbered from his seat in a clearing of green crab grass and nocked over logs and stones.It was an ideal spot to rest, a natural oasis in the thick forest. firm soil with stiff grass and softer grass growing from the land. a log lay stretching from the treeline out into the clearing by at least a meter,the clearing itself was merely seven or nine feet across with tall grass and a few short bushes creating a kind of natural wall.

Flynt's sharp nose caught something,a scent he did not know,something new and rank it smelled awful and for some reason the rodent could not fathom it threw up red flags. a flash of green and a glint of steel caught his red eyes. Hunched behind a bush with grinning wicked teeth something foul plotted against the lizards. The rat hissed and with a grunt charged forward. Daugh blinked taken aback, dumb founded when the little rat slapped his paw on the hilt of that short blade only to tear it out. the rodent's feet propelled him onward in an almost split second sprint he closed the gap between him and Daugh only to flip the sword around in his hand to face the dull blade backwards mid stride the rat dropped to the ground on all fours and bounded between Daugh's legs brushing past his thighs and loin cover then out the other side rising just as he passed the large Lizard-folks tail. All this in a short moment the rat dove, literally leapt off the ground and lunged seemingly at the sea green and sky blue lizardfolk sitting on the log, munching absently on the bone of some beast they killed and roasted the reptile barely saw Flynt. The rat was a blur of black fur and a fluttering robe as he soared past the young reptiles side and full on tackled the would be assassin straight through the air lifting it off the ground with his momentum and rolling across the dirt and grass,the rat squeaked angrily and raised his blade and brought it down hard on the broad, flat, bald head of a goblin.

The Goblin was not fast enough to block the rats assault, once, twice. the pommel bludgeoned the goblins head thrice. The rat drew his blade up turning it blade down in his hand to drive it into the goblins head,through its mouth and buried it hilt deep penetrating the green 2 foot tall monster's flesh and bone. The goblin squirmed and yelled in his last moments the rat straddling it rose up and panted blood on his hands and face.The lizard who's life he saved looked down at a roughly hammered out curved knife sitting on the ground between blades of long grass and a horsetail the tip and edge were stained green with poison. He swallowed hard the flavore of roasted boar and particles of the meat clung to his tongue as his mind gauged what just transpired, Daugh trotted up to lay a hand on the younger saurus shoulder then averted his eyes to the rat that was standing up,shaking and staring down at his kill,the tall golden reptile roared and drew a massive blade from his belt,"GOBLINS!."

Like a well trained group of soldiers each reptile rose to their feet scaled hands of altering colors wrapping around hafts,hilts and handles of their own weapons.And to the rodents horror a band of ten Goblins burst from the brush and dove out of the trees. Flynt ran up to join the reptiles in the fight. a club with teeth from a shark or made of stone smashed into the belly of a goblin and sent him flying into a tree wailing all the way. Daugh's foot came down on one goblin crushing it with a bone snapping crack of spine and ribs. his Great sword went to work severing and dicing the little demons. Flynt tackled another goblin and was about to claw its face off when one goblin stole the rodents tactic and tackled him off of the goblin.The Goblin that took Flynt off his prey was larger than the other goblins, and was stronger than Flynt had anticipated it to be. the rodent struggled and kicked under the Goblin but to no avail.The grotesque creature drew a dager intent on imbeding it in Flynts flesh, before the crooked blade tasted Rat blood a Familiar wooden helmed lizardfolk grabbed the goblin with one hand by the nape of its filthy leather armor and with a whip of his arm flung the goblin into a tree with a stomach churning crack resembling the pop of a watermelons shell.

Amber reached a hand down to take Flynt's arm and pulled him to his feet dusted off the rats backside and smiled at him through that helmet. the rodent rubbed his chest and looked at the carnage all about him the eight goblins were felled almost as soon as they appeared. smashed, cut in half,and crushed, their attack was foolish. Daugh came over and grabbed Flynt by the arm and whipped him around to look right into his eyes,the reptiles grip was strong and made Flynt whimper in mild pain as he gazed into those golden oceans their owner kneeling. the reptile stared at the rat for a long moment then tugged him into a hug. standing up Daugh brought the rodent off the ground holding him close to his chest.the Lizardfolk Flynt had saved came up and pressed his hand to the rats flank, "You saved my life, that dagger was poisoned." Another reptile, an all black lizard slammed his mace into the ground digging the weapon into the soil to stand there on its own,"if it weren't for the rat we may have suffered two brothers or more lost to these tricksters." he kicked the mutilated head of one sending it rolling off into the brush. Flynt blushed a little when Daugh set him back onto his own feet but Flynt's standing alone was short lived as the Lizardfolk he saved knelt to his level and tugged him into a hug. the rat squeaked and sighed in content. these lizards seemed really affectionate.

"Nay he saved more than the Chiefs son, he saved the wagons, if he had not seen the goblins and we were not able to defend against them,the wagons would be easily overrun." one of the reptiles growled and spat at the carcass of a goblin,"You doubt the strength of your brothers?" Daugh sighed and shook his head as the Chiefs son sat on his haunches and seemed adamant about not letting Flynt go. that arm laying over his back and holding him against the young lizardfolk's stomach and chest he was not as tall as the others but still dwarfed Flynt by at least two feet.The rodent tried pulling away as Daugh spoke,"No but i do not want to underestimate the ingenuity of goblins,they use fire bottles and shock tactics,many would of died." the other lizard,the tall black one seemed to understand now and nodded softly,Daugh came up behind Flynt and rubbed his back a few times,"hey kiddo,thank you for saving Mosstail here." Flynt nodded gently and blushed,"C-chiefs son?" the golden Lizardfolk nodded resting both heavy hands on the rodents shoulders he gave a wry smile to the rodent. Mosstail smiled at the little hero finally letting him go. Flynt was blown way back by this realization,he rubbed his head looking around at all the towering lizardfolk, several different colors and adornments on snouts and heads all staring at him!. then the rats red gaze went to Daugh.

"W-what did I do?"The large reptile smiled down at the small confused mammal,his huge hand rested on his shoulder,"Lad,you saved the life of my Tribes chief,and my brothers son." Flynt went wide eyed and stared up at Daugh,then his gaze went to the Son of the Chief he was a sea green with erratic stripes and tears of blue and white over his snout,he bore head fins from his forehead to his back and tail he resembled Rhinshin. Mosstail smiled down at Flynt and rubbed his hand between the rats ears,"I say he has earned a right to be one of us," the young lizard looked back at his fellow reptiles,"What say you?" there were a few murmers and whispers,Daugh broke the line of murmering with his booming voice causing Flynt to squeak and jump in place."Enouph!."Daughs large bronze hands lay on both of Flynts shoulders and squeezed,"Flynt has shown extraordinary courage and a willingness to protect others selflessly." Flynts ears were flat,he blushed feeling very insecure with nearly ten lizardfolk staring at him yet Daughs baritone voice continued to boom,"he has saved Mosstail!, Our future chief from the poisoned blade of a cowardly goblin,IN SO doing he has successfully prevented a sabotage attack on our camp here! he has saved more than the chiefs son or you and me." the massive reptile paused for effect,"He has saved the life of our Chief himself!." Flynt yelped loudly when those hands went to his side and raised him up into the air and settled him on the great Daughs shoulder,"Lizard or not I say he is to be one of us!, our brother!, Flynt Goblins Bane!." there was a pause then fists of scale went into the air and a chanting filled the forest clearing,"Flynt Goblins Bane!." the chant echoed through the trees and brackish waters, Flynt whimpered again as they cheered for him!,he was not used to this,it made him feel uncomfortable because he felt he had done nothing important but merely warn them of the goblins presence. Once the cheering had stopped five lizards were sent to scout out any Goblin encampments. Flynt helped the others clean the clearing the rat was given a goblins dagger as a trophy for his success, Daugh and Rhinshin suggested he keep the poisoned blade meant for Mosstail.

The wagons arrived before long plowing through that overgrown trail without stop the hooves of horses and boar alike crushed and flattened a wider path to the clearing.Each wagon finding a spot of their own the comical sight of Rhinshin atop the lead wagon shouting for the wagon drivers to make a circle formation as before all the while ducking and dodging branches and hanging moss.the large wagon wheels left deep ruts in the soft soil as they took up their spots in the clearing,the clearing was not at all that large but the wagons bravely positioned themselves in the tall grass,when they had successfully taken their places,for the time how ever long they chose to stay in this Forest.

Their occupants began to pour out, awnings going up, tents being pitched, the animals lead to drink water, Sjinjel called out Flynt's name and gave him a smile upon seeing the rodent run up to the large serpent."be a dear and take this axe, go find some dry wood or sticks for the fire." the rodent smiled and happily took the small hand axe, grateful for something to distract his active mind he turned and trotted off into the brush to search for some wood that was not molded nor soaking in the forest's water. Flynt scooped up some dead sticks he found on the ground as his feet squelched into the cold mud mottling his warm pink padded feet as they came down upon insects he never saw or knew were there under his bare feet, their crushed bodies and guts sticking to the sole of Flynt's feet as he walked along through the woods.

"So much, in so little a span of time." whispered the rodent to himself hearing the distant voices and sound of the refugees getting a camp set up,the rodent shook his head,taking the axe to a log and began to beat on it absently,his mind wandering and flowing with those thoughts,recounting everything that had occurred or was told to him. the bone and stone necklace around his neck jingled with each strike sinking the black finished blade into the dry logs branch,half of the tree sticking out of the murky still waters. tears began to flow from Flynts crimson depths,each strike he growled and whined softly,wood chips flying off as the blade struck again and again. The emotions, the reality began to finally sink in again. His home, his family, his entire life was over, he would never see his brothers freckled face nor his mothers warm smile or the fathers always kind presence.The axe struck wrong and clanged loudly bouncing off the log and bounced back hitting Flynt on the nose, the rats eyes really began to water up now and he threw the hand axe with all his strength into the waters of the forest's pond shouting rather loudly in a cocktail of anger, sadness, confusion and fear.he dropped to his knees hands planted in the mud as he cried.He quietly whimpered and sobbed,his tears dropping to soak the already damp soil.

"Flynt?" the rodent looked up peering into those beautiful golden eyes of Sjinjel's, the rat sat back on his haunches and wiped his muzzle and nose, Flynt looked back up at Sjinjel, the Naga had a face of complete concern for the rodent.The Naga felt the question in the back of his throat but he knew what was bothering his little friend. without words the leg deprived reptile slithered over to the small mammal bent over him and wrapped his arms tightly around Flynt tugging him into his chest leaning his head onto Flynt's own head gently comforting him."Shh,its alright your safe now, your with me. if you need to cry do not be ashamed to do so." the Rat turned around and buried his head into the naga's chest and let the water works flow. Sjinjel rest his arms over the young rats back and allowed him to cry out his pain.Slowly Sjinjel wrapped his lower coils up around young Flynt's legs to the Naga's relief this action was not met with a scream or rejection so he continued. holding onto the rat as he lay another coil over the one around the rodents legs covering his thighs, then his belly, chest, then with a soft peck of scaled lips to furry nose a final coil wrapped around the rodents head sealing the small mammal within a cocoon of scales. Sjinel very carefully readjusted laying his coils down on their sides,his upper torso curving up atop of them the powerful muscled lengths tugging taught around his chosen prey but never to tight. Trailing a claw tip along the coil that hid young Flynt's head Sjinjel hissed out words,"Comfy?." the Naga was rewarded with a weak. "mhm." smiling the serpent parted his moist scaled lips to let words flow once more."Vent little rodent tell your dear trusting friend Sjinjel all what ails you."

The Naga lounging on his own coils couldn't help but smile at the fur exposed to his sight between the trio of coils,and of course Flynt's feet and long tail were protruding from the last coil. but what Made Sjinjel smile was how Flynt's voice was muffled when words flowed from the rodents lips,"I am not a fool, I understand what has happend. I was made to leave my home. if I had not then I would of been killed, Briar saved my life." Flynt sniffled a bit,"Then I come out here and you and your mate show me more kindness than my own foster family then I go and spot a goblin and kill it, Sjinjel i took a life."

The Naga's gold eyes were a bit wide,he fluttered his tongue and loosed his coil a bit to allow his upper torso to join young Flynt inside,he snuggled up to the furry creature inside the round warm scaly tent,"A goblin, Dear Flynt you saved the Chiefs son, you also saved some hardship for us wagoners, just by seeing the goblin and slaying the beast you have earned the respect and some very powerful friends. The lizard scouts found a goblin encampment and slew them all, had they not the little monsters would of come here in cover of night and killed us all as we slept." the naga smiled peering into the Ratling's red eyes,"I also heard about your romp with Daugh." Flynt went wide eyed and tried to hide his face in Sjinels coil but the Naga's finger was under the rats chin and forced him to look the serpent in the eye,"Ah,ah,ah no being bashful in my coils. Daugh is a very big and very powerful Lizard. he is a Dragonborn." Flynt blinked but held his tongue as Sjinjels continued to flicker out across his olive shaped nose,"I am frankly surprised you could take him all the way and not break,you certainly have good taste little Flynty." the rodents turn to speak came up,"I..I enjoyed it." the Naga chuckled as the mixture of breath and body heat began to make it toasty inside the coils,"I bet you did!." the Naga smiled brightly,"I am sure you know that your now one of them,one of usssss." that last word was drawn out with a long hiss."Us?"

Sjinjel nodded and acctualy licked Flynt's nose,"mhm,me and my wife came out here with about fifty lizard folk from our own lands,they have some special hunting ritual out here,me and Thrisha were just wanting to wine and dine but then we heard of that terrible woman in your city and her new laws." he gave a soft smile and a ruffle of the rodents head fur,"We just had to help out." Flynt softly smiled and folded his hands over one another and lay his head upon them as those coils were quite loose around the pair,"now were heading back,if you don't mind Flynt,would you like to come with us?,me, thrisha, Rhinshin, Daugh and the others are going back to our home land across the sea." Flynt drew a wide smile,though he also drew a sniffle at the Naga's words.

''Absolutely, you and Thrisha have been to kind to me for me not to want to." the Naga smile and gave a squeeze to Flynt's little body before planting another kiss square on the rodents lips,then removing his torso from his own coils and holding dear Flynt in a single length of muscle,"Well then,i suppose it is official now,You are mine and Thrisha's son?" the rodent gave a blink and tilted his head but just giggled and nodded softly,breathing in the cool still air. he suddenly missed being wrapped entirely in Sjinels coils, the warmth and security of them. they cheered him up along with the Nagas kindness.the rat giggled a bit as the Naga curled around him again wrapping the rodent in two coils and lounged against log Flynt was hacking at. the reptile gave a gentle smile and flick of his tongue eyeing the youth,"You are indeed quite the lovely catch little Flynt." the rat in question blushed profusely. The naga raised his coil up into the air and over himself staring up at the rodentian in his warm coils he stretched up an arm to stroke Flynt's lower jaw,"So Daugh told me everything about the fight,how you scared him with your charge,and the awe in how quick you acted to take on the goblins." Flynt gave a soft squeak flinching and stiffening up a bit,not ever having been raised up like this,though he did enjoy it.it almost felt as if Sjinel was preparing to eat him. How strange it felt to Flynt that he suddenly desired that.

Clearing his throat and shoving the odd thought away Flynt replied. "Y-yea,I-I didn't want the lizard to get hurt."

"Mosstail?" inquired Sjinel, Flynt nodded softly as the reptile sat him down and released his coil from around the rodent,but upon seeing the disapointed expression the Naga smiled and lazily wrapped the rodents lower body in his coils.

"I can't truly remember all what happened, I just saw the goblin and had to act, I could feel the little monsters ill intent." the naga male's hand was sliding over Flynt's ear,stroking it again and again."I see, and you did this without any thought of self gain?."Flynt shook his head.

"W-when I attacked the goblin, i-it felt good, l-like I enjoyed killing them.E-everything was a blurr." Explained Flynt, Sjinjel frowned and bumped his nose against the rodents,"Sounds like you went Blood-drunk."

"Blood-drunk?"inquired the Rodent. Sjinel nodded and began to explain before a deeper voice came up,hailing the approach of Daugh and Rhinshin. both large Lizards took up a comfortable spot near the naga and the coiled up rodent. Daugh simply chuckled elbowing Rhinshin who spoke up with a smile,"Now now Sjinjel, don't go eating our brother." the Naga blushed going wide eyed."N-never!." Flynt swore if the snake had fur,he would be all puffed out.

The two reptiles chuckled but they all stopped staring at the rodents words,though soft and slightly held back, Flynt rubbed a paw along his shoulder and looked away."would be fun.'' Flynt looked into the Nagas gaping eyes,''W-what?" he gazed at Daugh and Rhinshin,"Thrisha told me her and Sjinjel are able to control their lower stomachs acid production." the Naga smiled gently and ran a hand along the rodent shead,"no no darling, we have a period in time when we don't use our lower stomachs they don't produce very strong acid, you would be safe in there for a short amount of time but i don't think we should find out.'' Daugh laughed coming over to try and wrench Flynt out of the coils,"Aye, If anyone is gonna eat this sweet little sugar tulip it'd be me." Sjinjel held onto Flynt for a moment before smiling and letting the larger reptile have him, for now at least. He squirmed in the larger reptiles arms looking at a blushing smiling Sjinjel as Rhinshin the older of all four roared."How dare you!,thats my damsel you shite colored Dragon!."

Flynt blushed and gave a soft smile peering to Sjinjel when the large Rhinshen marched over to try and pull Flynt from Daugh's arms. Flynt squeaked in surprise when he felt Daugh's broad wet tongue drag across the back of the rodents head causing the rat to grimace in disgust only to quite literally shout in surprise when everything suddenly went dark!. Daugh had shoved the rodents whole head inside his mouth!. It smelled god awful and the reptiles saliva soaked into the rodents black and grey fur matting and gumming it up. the reptile's tongue slathered along the rodnet's ears and nape while lizard teeth scraped along the rodents tender neck and throat. the vermin's nose was forced upwards aiming into the lizards throat forced to inhale each of the near dinosaur's breaths. Flynt's red eyes squinted when the reptiles jaws parted popping the rats head out of that maw soaking wet and running with Lizard drool, the rodent wiped his eyes and spat."Gyah! your breath smells!." cried the rodent as his vision began to clear up to the cold day's light. The small clearing was bouncing and moving around him as Daugh's heavy feet pounded into the muddy ground. Rhinshin was chasing him shaking his large blue and white fists."Give her back! she is mine!." The play lasted for some time, Rhinshin got a hold of Flynt finally and there was a bit of tug of war all under the watchful eyes of the Naga. Eventually the fun was ended and Flynt was once again allowed use of his own two feet so he could wash his face of Daugh's drool. Flynt returned to the Trio of reptiles all smiling at the small creature, the rodent gave Rhinshin a playful 'your in trouble.' stare."I happen to be male, and you are the worst knight in shining armor ever!. " the rat smirked seeing the large reptile give a pout and cowered back half heartily. Flynt thrust his hand at Daugh,"The damn Dragon ate me!." Daugh blinked staring at Flynt then smirked and slapped his exposed stomach a few times,"yep, quite the delicious little prince-" his words were cut short when a near ground shaking belch flew from his throat. Serpent, Reptile, and Naga eyes all peered at him wide then the four of them all burst out laughing.

"Is it like this with you guys all the time?" asked Flynt, The naga chuckled and nodded,"oh yes, these lizards are the most honorable, and proud people i have ever known, when they not hunting or taking care of an entire caravan they can be quite playful sometimes." the two lizard men chuckled in unison, Daugh settled on the log while Rhinshin knelt down and smiled at the small rodent resting a hand on his the smaller male's shoulder Flynt peered into those beautiful slitted eyes with wide curious and expectant red depths."W-well Flynt I must give you my personal gratitude for saving my boy, and for that we will make you one of us, you will perfom the ritual of coming of age with the other young male Lizards, Including my son Mosstail." Flynt's eyes went wide. "Your the Chief!?" the larger lizardfolk nodded bobbing his head fins,"Aye boy, I am the chief of the small group of lizards here, and Sjinjel is a King in his land." Flynt stared at a bashful Sjinel who gave a short shy nod to the rodent's disbelieving gaze, and that was it Flynt could not take anymore surprises,the small mammal fainted and fell back onto the cold muddy ground with a groan.
