A warm breeze blew through the Dark Woods, the smell of elderberry and sassafras brought an air of calm to the gently swaying trees and rippling pond. A smattering of sunbeams penetrated the veil of lily pads and lotus blossoms dotting the surface of the small pond, laying a gentle warmth over a wide winding path of glossy, platinum grey scales. The gleaming scale covered flesh rose out of the pond and into a waterfall, rolls and folds spouting rapids and whirlpools here and there before rolling off the sides and down through the rusty burgundy fur blooming from behind. Anyone standing on the rock behind the pond would have been treated to a vision of glimmering coils of the lounging Wraith, partially shrouded by the ponds plantlife. At nearly five feet around at it widest point each broad bend was riddled with folds and creases in the plush fat stuffed skin.

*Ahhhhhhhhn* sighed Sirgiu as he lay in the bubbling hot springs warming embrace, the very fat snake-fox patted his belly as he enjoyed the blending of hot water and cool on the length of his corpulent body "If I had a keg of wine and something something to eat, I could lay here forever..."He held his head up into the hot water, allowing the spring to sooth the scars on his face. Shaking the excess off his head he wiped at his eyes, right one grey gold, left pale dead blue and heavily scarred. Sirgiu always lied, said it was a monster bear that gave him the hideous claw mark, and trademark bear-belly (that joke usually got a few chuckles). In reality it was a small bear that caught the beastly snake-monster sleeping, and decided to try for an easy meal. The poor bears heart had exploded from the fear at the terrific roar of pain Sirg let loose right in it's face.

At the moment though, the well fed Wraith wriggled to adjust himself and lay back for a nap in the soothing spring. *KTHUNK* his eyes opened wearily and he looked around "What the hell was that?" *KTHINK* this time he saw it, an arrow bouncing off the rock next to his head and sinking into his natural bath. "ERRRRG, Damnable beast of hades... HOLD STILL!!!" The fox-beast heard the next arrow as it pierced his ear. The large woodsman pumped his fist and patted his enormous war horse in celebration. Sirgiu lifted himself high over the water as he pulled the arrow from his ear. "Look mister... I don't know who the hell you are, but I'm trying to relax..." he cracked the arrow with his fist and tossed it at the hunters mount. "So could you kindly GET LOST!!!"

The muscular human chuckled. "Hellbeast... you have no idea do you?" Sirg crossed his arms "Hellbeast? Really? Well you get no points for originality there... what pray tell do I have no idea of?" The hunter, sitting bareback on his warhorse, pulled another arrow from his quiver. "The council is offering a gold bounty on any monsters slain in the dark woods, and their paying by the pound, meaning you're gonna make me RICH!" He aimed and fired once more, only to be startled as the Wraith caught the arrow half the distance between them, Sirgiu closed the gap quickly. The huntsman's horse, of a breed known for patience and fearless determination, whinnied in fear of the proximity of such an obvious predator. "Is this a fact huntsman? do you honestly think you can take me?"

The hunter drew another arrow, but the Wraith knocked his bow from his hand. He tried to draw his sword, But Sirgiu got there first, twisting the handle off with a metalic *Thunk* and tossing it in the pond. He then proceeded to use his razor sharp claws to slice every leather strap, seam, binding, and button from his person, leaving a very startled and very naked hunter sitting bareback and bare assed on his noble steed, who was now quite panicked itself. "You'll pay for this serpent." he thrust a finger in Sirgiu's face, but the fox-monster just grabbed his arm, with a yawn showing all his razor sharp teeth and fangs he yanked the hunter towards him and grabbed the other arm. "I believe I asked you to leave..."

The once mighty hunter was sweating, he nodded. "R-r-r-right away..." The immensely fat Wraith shook his head. "Oh you'll be leaving." He yanked the hunters arms down around the horse's neck, allowing him to hold them both in one hand. The horse was panicking more now and trying to pull away. "but not the way you came..." He lowered his head level with the old war horse, the enormous creature screaming whinnies of terror, and pulled it's muzzle into his own. "No no no no no no no..." the hunter was just babbling in terror as Sirgiu easily engulfed the horses head, just as large as his own, and was already sliding down the neck. "Please please please please..." he begged pulling at his arms. The horse was still trying to get away beneath him as well, but the Wraith's pulling was stronger and inevitably it went deeper, still screaming in terror within the beasts massive throat.

"Please don't eat me please I've got money I can get more money anything you want..." The hunters babbling turned to a non stop stream of begging, bargaining, and pleading as the Wraith slid closer and closer to his person. "You're an intelligent creature, there must be SOMETHING you want in this world!" Sirgiu paused briefly, looking at the hunter who pulled a satisfied smile "I knew there had to be something... just name it and I'll get it for y..." the hunter was cut off by two audible *Clicks* from the sides of Sirgiu's mouth, he then watched in terror as a tidal wave of teeth engulfed him "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" As the Wraith's gaping maw was lowered onto his back, the hunter joined the horse in it's terrified screaming. Anyone watching said the whole scene they were making was more than a little pathetic, and that Sirgiu looked ridiculous with his cheeks packed as full as they were, his upper jaw looking so tiny in comparison to the mouth full.

The horse's front legs stopped kicking as they were folded and stuffed in, Sirgiu sliding his body beneath to support the new weight thrust upon him. As the hunter and horse began to reach new depths, the horse's dinner plate sized hooves slowed their kicking and pulling as oxygen was getting low. Nearing halfway over the horse, Sirgiu was already up to the human's ass crack, but his forked tongue might as well been on the other side of the planet as it licked the bottom of the horse's broad barrel. The Wraith held his belly, feeling the horse enter between his arms and force them wide, slowly lifted the animal and rider off the ground, he then grabbed the horse hind legs just as it's rider disappeared behind his stretched lips.

He folded the legs into the stallion's belly for the home stretch and lifted his meal and himself vertical. As horse and rider slid in the rest of the way, Sirgiu became aware of a new tightness across his skin, he held as much of his new expanding girth as possible and slurped down the last of the horse. The tail still out of his mouth he cringed, sharp shallow breaths escaping quickly as he tried to hold it together.. "Too much too much too much..." he took a deep breath and beyond the tips of his claws there was a *FRRRIIIIPPP* as the scaled skin ripped wide open. "Ahhhhhhhahahah... that's better." he slumped backwards into the pond, very aware of the solid bottom beneath his newly expanded weight. He patted at his new gut, the shiny new scales bulging profusely through the tear in his old skin. The immensely stuffed Sirgiu resumed his position beneath the hot water and sighed, his arms full of stuffed gut and soothing water raining down over him brought him to a new state of nirvana. "That was great..." he patted his tightly packed guy." I could do two more just like it... right now..."

The was a *KTHUNK* as an arrow struck the rocks a few feet to his left. "HELLANOUS BASTARD!!! TODAY YOU DIE!!!" Sirgiu pushed away from the rocks. "Hello new friend... I believe the word you're looking for is DINE!"
