PArt 3! This is the one where all three images take place. The whole story is about 12 hours, and the three images depicted take place over the course of about 2-5 minutes in rapid succession. Ends on kind of a cliffhanger, but not really. More of a satisfying happy ending, at least for now. Might write more about them returning to Klyneth, but had to cut it a bit short for various reason.

I deliberately kept this one short because...well, I've written literally over 13k words on this story, and I am pretty sure when I go to post the whole thing as one submission, I will have to cut and edit a bunch since FA won't allow me to post it all at once.


Playground of the Serpent 3 of 3

In spite of Leera and Ceylon both assuring them that their trip through the serpent's reproductive system was a short lived journey, both Hida and Kitnip felt absolutely drained, like they had just woken from a week-long coma. They were so tired that their normal chipper and eternally cheerful attitude was thoroughly exhausted. All they could do for the duration of the evening was relax, threatening to nod off into sleep as their host ate his meal and told stories of his past lives and encounters.

When the sun finally fell, leaving them only with the fire-borne light of the lanterns strewn throughout the den, Kitnip decided to do the most reasonable thing and offer to leave Ceylon and his mate alone for the evening rather than intrude.

Hida gave a distraught glance, knowing that Klyneth was incredibly far from here, and would be too much distance to pass overnight, even if his little wings were flapping with great vigor. It was even harder to fly at night; without the thermals to buoy him in the air, he was little more than a morsel to the predators of the night.

Luckily for both, Ceylon insisted they stay. The gryphon knew the cost of Leera's fluids on whichever being ended up smothered in them. The experience was truly grand, a transcendent waking dream come true, but it also completely sapped one's energy afterwards. No, Hida and Kitnip both would be better off staying the night.

However, since there was no spare bedroom, they all shared the same nesting den. Leera laid flat against the ground, many of her coils pressed tight against the floor that seemed to be naturally heated, absorbing the energy while Leera laid on top of her to offer his body heat to the parts of her that weren't touching the ground. Kitnip and Hida both curled up on Ceylon's back, the mouse wrapped in the dragon's tail and wings.

Sleep came fast to all four inhabitants of the den. Leera could practically turn sleep off and on at will, due to her cold blood and biological adaptations that helped her conserve energy. Ceylon had a busy day and was ready to sleep. And, of course, Hida and Kitnip both were doing all they could to hold off sleep to not be rude to their hosts, so when the offer was laid before them, they both took it.

The dreams that night were quite vivid, especially for Hida. His encounter that day had been quite a dream come true, so now he had a real-world experience fresh in his mind to help increase the realism of his fantasy.

Kitnip also shared Hida's passion, his tiny little paws were constantly rubbing and clawing at his dragon companion's chest, just like they had been while in Leera's womb, squishing her fluids and lubrication between skin and fur.

In the middle of a most delicious scene of Hida's dream, he was woken by the stirring of the gryphon feathers that he and Kitnip were cuddling in. As soon as he regained his composure and lucidity, he realized how excited his dream had made him. He blushed and curled his tail up between his legs to ensure that Kitnip's paws never touched him there. His maw gaped open in a lackluster yawn as he looked around, blinking the sleep that had gummed his eyes shut. What he saw when his vision cleared made him think he was still dreaming.

Directly in front of him was a massive open maw, with multiple lines of sharp glistening teeth and soft ridges of cherry pink flesh. He tenses up immediately, but soon realized it was just Leera, yawning to realign her jaw. Her piercing emerald green eyes were open but unfocused; she was asleep, but naturally in defensive mode.

Hida stared into the abyss that was her gullet, noticing that the telltale purple flesh that Ceylon had mentioned before had turned a bright, cherry pink, which apparently indicated that her cycle had restarted and she could once again be safely explored. After a few brief moments, she closed her maw again and took in a deep, drawn in breath before gaping open again, another deep yawn with her maw pointed directly at the little dragon. He was still excited, but was doing his best to hold back from expressing that excitement as a series of scenarios flashed through his mind.

Was Leera awake and teasing him? Was she reverting back to her feral ways that Ceylon had warned about? Was she just really tired? Was she instinctively preparing to strike at the two little critters that were very obviously food to such a massive, voracious serpent?

Hida had plenty of time to contemplate what was happening as she continued tilt her head, yawn, re-adjust her neck, yawn again, and flick her tongue intermittently, like she was just stretching or working out a kink in her spine and jaws. As she continued her yawn, Hida used his wing to idly poke at Kitnip's shoulder, waking the mouse as he kept his eyes trained on the fleshy maw exposing itself before him.

Leera's maw closed again just as the mouse stirred awake. "Squeak?" He spoke, confused.

Hida simply pointed at Leera, her head still hovering and bobbing above her coils as her tongue flickered in and out, indicating another yawn was coming.

"What?" Kitnip demanded, a little frustrated that Hida would wake him from such a deep slumber.

"Keep watching, she'll yawn again, and you'll get a good look."

The mouse's ears perked up as he rolled over on Ceylon's back, waiting to see Leera expose her pink again. Sure enough, she craned her neck, angled her maw, and gaped open one more time in another long, drawn out snake yawn. "Squeeeeak!" Kitnip approved, speaking the word in a hushed whisper than actually squeaking or doing any other thing that might wake her.

"What do you think she'd do if we hopped right in there while she yawned?" Hida suggested, still staring dead forward to Leera's glistening maw flesh.

Kitnip actually squeaked a bit. "I don't know, probably swallow without thinking, or wake up and spit us out." His breathing was quickening as he imagined her clamping down on him, jaw moving back and forth to force him deeper until all he had to hold on was the slick walls of her gullet and the tightening muscles of her throat swallowing him. "But wait, didn't Ceylon say she was in the digestive part of her cycle?"

Hida nuzzled at Kitnip's cheek and churred a bit. "He did, yes, but he also sais that her cycle could be read by the color of her flesh. Purple means she's digesting. Pink means she's in her other state. The holding period, I think he called it. Do you see any purple flesh?"

Both waited with bated breath for her to yawn again, when they did they leaned in and paid close attention. Lo and behold not a single patch or faded segment of anything resembling the purple that they'd seen near the epicenter of the abyss that was her gullet. It was clear she was as pink in her maw as her nether region.

"N-no!" Kitnip squeaked, his tail waving gently behind him.

"Let's go!" Hida urged, playfully hopping over his friend and down over the side of Ceylon's shoulder, landing heavily on Leera's spine somewhere midway down her length. Kitnip landed beside him, careful to not dig his claws into her scales for fear of waking her.

The two of them hurriedly walked up her spine in circles around her coils like she was a pathway, eventually making it the back of her head where her skull connected to her spine. They were both quite careful to not do anything drastic or alert her, but it was hard not to.

Hida leaned in real close to Kitnips ear and whispered as quiet as he could, since they were so close to the snake's ear holes. "So what now, just...up by the snout, then dive in?"

Kitnip shook his head and lifted a single finger to his lips in a universal 'shh' indicator. He lightly padded his way down her snout, between her eyes and over her muzzle so that he was resting between her nostrils. He spun and lowered his tail to lightly prod at her heat pits, giving her something to detect while also tickling her just enough to irritate.

She jerked her head back, nearly knocking both off her snout. She flicked her tail around and accidentally slapped Kitnip in the rump, making him squeak before yanking his tail out from her heat pits.

Hida tiptoed forward on her massive snout, getting to his mouse companion right as Leera's head reared back, arching her neck and spine so that she was looking directly to the ceiling of the nesting den. Both had to scramble and claw, grabbing at the corners of the heat pits and nostrils to keep from sliding and falling off. They ended up both standing directly on her lips as her tongue darted out between Kitnip's hind legs, the forks wrapping around either side of the base of his tail.

The little blue dragon was about to make a joke at the expense of Kitnip's bashfulness, but Leera's lips parted in a yawn, her maw gaped wide open before them. The gape split them, with Kitnip daintily hanging onto the snake's bottom lip, Hida's wings spread and claws grabbing tight on her upper lip. Between and beneath them was Leera's soft, pulsating, juicy mounds of maw flesh and teeth with a black abyss in the middle.

Kitnip stared down with eyes wide, tail flicking eagerly as the snake's tongue continued to squeeze and twitch between his legs, undulating against his inner thighs, messing with his head. After a few moments, he let out a soft whimper and looked across the chasm of her gullet to see that Hida was also staring down, transfixed by the scene before them.

An overwhelming desire washed over Kitnip as a fantasy came to life before him. His body was shaking as he re-positioned himself so he was sitting on her lip, feet resting inside her maw and squishing her saliva between his toes, tail splayed out behind him. He grabbed at her gums, trying hard to avoid the sharp teeth that lined them. "Join me?" He offered Hida before letting go, sliding foot first down her maw, off to the side of her wind pipe to land in a squish at the crook of her maw.

Her flesh was massaging him, secreting saliva that smothered him and soaked his fur as the soff mounds of pulsating muscle shifted and slid beneath him, ensuring his foot paws couldn't get any grip. One powerful gulp later and his form shifted, feet disappearing between the soft walls of flesh as he slid deeper, the slick velvety pillows smothering his face as he smiled, one thumb up to Hida.

Hida's maw was agape as he watched Kitnip's form get smothered by her shifting throat muscles. His brain was completely scrambled to the point he didn't even stop to think why Leera would keep her maw open this long if she was just yawning. Instead, he hopped off her lip and did a cannonball, aiming directly at the soft abyss.

The very moment he felt his tail slap against her maw flesh, she immediately closed her jaws, smothering him before he even disappared down her gullet. He felt her teeth pressing in a line against his form as her muscles and bone shifted, the pressure and slickness forcing him in deeper and deeper until the teeth were above him and out of reach.

He looked up to her maw, seeing only a slit of light narrow as the soft flesh of her throat closed up above him, the muscles contracting in waves, forcing him down.

Her soft walls slid over him with ease, gravity helping just as much as the pressure and lubrication. Before long, he caught up to Kitnip, his tail wrapping around a mucked up, furry creature a few centimeters deeper in her esophagus.

Kitnip reached up and grabbed at the dragon's tail, puling himself up until both were hugging each other closely. The mouse thought about putting on his goggles, but decided against it, knowing it would do him no good. Rather, he was happy to cuddle up with Hida as the peristaltic muscular waves passed over them.

Unlike last time, in her nether region, there was an element of fear for the two as they descended down her gullet. They imaged her as being quite safe due to the color of her maw, but it didn't occur to either of them that the cycle was passing through her, much like they were, and may not be as safe a meter or two down her throat on the way to her belly.

With that revelation in Hida's mind, he kept his breath held as he wrapped arms and wings around Kitnip, relishing in the sensation of slick velvet passing over his wing membranes. Both nuzzled into each other as the flesh continued to slide them deeper and deeper, the walls closing in and growing tighter and more snug with every gentle motion.

==============================================================

"What are you doing?" Ceylon grumbled as he used his wrist to wipe some sleep from his eye. The motion of Leera's swaying upper body had roused him from rest just as Hida had launched off her snout to land in her gullet.

She closed her maw most of the way and offered a meek smile to her mate. "N-nothing?" she squeaked, saliva dribbling out over her lips to splatter in little pools amidst her coils. She had a nervous smile as she looked across her body to Ceylon.

"Doesn't look like nothing." The gryphon flicked his ear to see that his friends were no longer nestling on his head and glared at her. "Where are Hida and Kitnip?"

Leera swallowed nervously, her throat muscles clenching and forcing the critters deeper down her gullet.

"No, you spit them out right now. You still have a couple days before you're safe, all the way through." He got on all fours and leaned into her, hissing. These were his friends, not some fools he'd picked up in town.

Leera sighed. "It's fine, I promise I'm safe. Used a bit of magic to accelerate the process for them." She explained, rolling her eyes and smiling deviously.

Ceylon was about to throw another accusation at her, but then came to his senses to realize that, yeah, Leera was exactly the kind of snake to do that, and would never hurt anyone, especially not Ceylon's friends. "Okay, okay. But for my state of mind, could you spit 'em back up anyway?" he leaned into her and nuzzled his beak against her cheek, a gentle churring rumbling in his throat.

She flicked her tongue out with a sly smirk. "Well, I just wanted them to have fun. I was prying into their dreams and saw just how much they wanted it, so I wanted to give them something special. But okay, I guess I'll do it for you. Still promise it was fine." She grumped and arched her neck, gaping her maw open again as her body tensed in waves from her belly to jaws, squeezing both Hida and Kitnip from tail end to head, forcing them out with one quick motion.

They slid with ease through her gullet, suddenly rocking back up towards the entrance in one another's arms until both of their heads poked out from between the soft flesh of her upper and lower maw.

She contracted the muscles of her jaw to retract her teeth as she leaned over and made a gagging sound, spitting both up in a gooey pink pile of slime and scales and wings and tails and fur. Both looked both intensely happy and a little disappointed at the same time.

"AGAIN!" Hida chirped as he jumped to all fours and shook off the gooey saliva from his extremities. "I wanna go for another slide!"

Kitnip just rocked back and forth with a wide grin across his snout, gentle squeaks slipping out as he laughed, his chest heaving like he had hiccups. "Yesss! Again!" He agreed before hopping up and wiping his fur of the slime that was pooling beneath him on Leera's scales.

"Sssee? Told you they were fine." Leera hissped as she turned and laid her head on her coils next to them, flicking her tongue out to lap at Kitnip's backside, making the little mouse blush and lean into her tongue flicks, then hug her snout with his little mousey paws.

Ceylon reached over and smeared a talon against her scales where the pink-tinted saliva was pooling, capturing some for a taste test. He smacked his beak as he sampled it and agreed. "Okay, okay, fine, I trust you, but...warn me next time?"

She nuzzled into Kitnip hard enough to knock him off his feet, but so that she was also nuzzling Hida. "Well, it would have ruined the allure! They thought I was asleep!" She continued to nuzzle into the two of them as they hugged at her snout.

Hida even tried to slip his tail in between his lips to get her to open her maw so he could jump in again.

"Okay, okay, fine!" Ceylon agreed with an eager coo. "Go ahead, they can sleep in you tonight, as long as you can assure me they will be safe!"

Leera nodded enthusiastically and brought her tail around to draw a cross on her belly scales just below her chin. "Cross my heart, hun! You know I'd never hurt anyone!"

Ceylon scooped both Hida and Kitnip in his talons and leaned back on his haunches as Leera moved her head away with her jaws spread, like an eager puppy. "Catch!" Ceylon grabbed Kitnip and tossed him to Leera, who struck at him in the air half way between the two of them.

Her soft skin snapped shut on the little mouse, her muscles holding him in place as her flesh quivered and throbbed around him. He was trying to situate himself, since being tossed had him quite disoriented, but he couldn't do so before her maw opened up again, awaiting another treat.

"Last one tonight." Ceylon joked as he grabbed hida by the tail and dangled him over Leera's head.

She gaped her maw open as wide as it would go, Kitnip still disoriented and resting in between the soft pillows of her gullet flesh, legs squirming in her throat.

Before Hida could hesitate, he was dropped from Ceylon's talon to land in Leera's maw, the whole world going black as she gave one final gulp. Her flesh passed over him as he once again reunited with Kitnip, the contracting muscles forcing him down, down, down until he stopped moving. He was suspended alongside Kitnip in a chamber of fluid, the flesh only barely sliding over him due to how much roomier it was.

He smiled and pulled his friend close, knowing that, at least for the night, they'd be happily contained in this serpent's belly, floating with each other, powerful snake muscles and scales holding them in place.

Much like her womb, he took a minute before gaining the courage to let his body inhale, sucking her slick, viscous fluid into his lungs, giving him the same, euphoric state of mind that he felt when in her womb, the mind altering feeling that left him in an eternal dream.
