Chapter #4Enter the Dragon....literally. by: Komputer   What choice should I make?, you thought. No matter what choice you make you'll always end up with the dragon; escaping is impossible given the distance of the shore and the sea dragon's potential prowess. Seeing that you have few options, you made your choice.
"...I'll go in you.", you said in a conceding tone.
"A wise choice made.", the sea dragon tells you, "Now, prepare yourself for the 'entrance'." As he finished speaking telepathically, the dragon opened its wide mouth before you. The rows of glistening razor teeth slightly frightens you about the notion that you have to enter through that potentially deadly entrance. Blobbing up and down in the turbulent water, you look back toward the far-off coast to take what could be your last look at land for some time.
"Umm. Before I go in, promise me that I will not get hurt once I enter you.", you said.
"There is no need to worry.", the dragon calmly tells you, "I will stick to my words, human, meaning there is no possibility that I will break it. And now, it is time for you to truly appreciate my majestic appearance, both outward and inward. Enter..."
You started paddling toward the mouth of the dragon. You eventually swam into the mouth, just floating above the tongue, briefly stopping to examine the surrounding. From this vantage point, the sea is framed by two sets of teeth. Above you, the dragon's palates stretch and arch overhead like some otherworldly structure; they appear like a cathedral. Is this what 'preys' will see when they get eaten?, you thought. But that is certainly not the case for you. You continue to swim toward the large gullet, preparing to enter what may be an "organic palace." Once, you enter the gullet, you entered a long tunnel which you suspect is the dragon's esophagus. The tunnel is as large as a conventional tunnel that can fit a truck. Thus, you have little difficulty in walking straight up in the esophagus. The tunnel is quite curvy and the surrounding walls are slick and sticky. At first, you're surprised that there is no pulling action or moving muscles; everything is pretty much static save for the constant rush of air from within the dragon. Then, you thought that the sea dragon probably stopped his esophagus to allow a easier passage for you.
After an hour's worth of traveling, you eventually arrive at the stomach of the dragon. The stomach is vast and long, the size of an average gym if you're no mistaken. The surrounding walls have a blue color and are glowing brightly. The floor is covered with a shallow layer of seawater. Rather than a stomach, you think that it looks more like a room. You have never seen anything so beautiful before; you might say it even looks palatial. You swayed slightly as the stomach began moving; you assumed it's because the dragon began swimming again. You notice that there are several portal-like entrances in the back of the stomach. Each those holes seemed big enough for you to access or go through. You wondered......
"I have sensed your arrival in my stomach.", said the dragon, it voice surrounds you, "You are free to remain in here until you want to look around. You may try one of those portal to access the necessary part of my body that you want to explore."
You listened carefully to the sea dragon's words before making your choice.
