Felix's eyes adjusted to the low light and looked around the dungeon. The room was tall, well over 100 feet tall. There were some skeletons still hanging from chains on the walls. He gulped and remembered why he was there. He expected to attacked quickly, but there was no attack. He looked closer to the ground and tried finding the naga, but in the dark corners, he saw nothing.
But then he heard it. A quiet rushed breath, like the being was scared. Felix noticed then a thick chain coming from the ceiling dipped down to one corner. He pushed the cart towards the corner and when the contents stumbled, he saw it. Or at least its eye. A large dark blue eye stared before hiding again.
Felix felt his heart race in fear and realized he shouldn't be standing there looking at this creature. It could realize Felix was nothing and eat him, so Felix quickly put the food and water bowl on the ground and left as quickly as he could. As he pushed the cart out, he heard the sadistic guard call to him.
"See you at dinner slave," the guard called, "Or possibly for dinner." Felix shook in fear and continued on his way.

Back in the dungeon, slowly the young naga unraveled itself. It was a unique naga as its tail scales were solid obsidian, which let him hide in the shadows perfectly. His human body was covered in scars from whips and swords General Ethan and his men used to capture him. His black hair was the same color as his tail and he pushed it out of his way to look at the things the human left.
He had never seen humans before. One moment, he was hunting some small nekos, then the next thing he knew he was no longer in his home woods, when suddenly humans started attacking him. The young, scared, confused naga never stood a chance.
The little human that entered, this naga knew he'd be hurt by him like the others if he got close. But the human left.
Slowly, the naga slithered to the food and drink and sniffed. It didn't smell poisonous and there were few poisons that could harm one of his kind. So, it took the large cut of meat and put it in his mouth and drank the water. But it was still hungry.
"You will be very hungry now my son, as you are about to grow to a large proud naga," he could remember his mother's words and a promise he'd taste his first human after wards.
"Once I grow, these humans will pay," the young naga thought without much confidence. His declaration was more to comfort himself than any serious promise. He could only wonder how much longer until his first growth spurt.
Little did he know it would be in a two days . . .
