Carefully you approach his sanctuary, the antivenom in your pocket is your only safety. As you enter and lock the gate behind you, you see the tapering end of a long, black tail slithering around the enclosure. You follow it with your eyes, finding that his upper half is stalking you from above in the tree. Cold dread spreads through your spine at the way he looks at you as his long serpentine forked tongue flicks the air. He's scenting you. He makes a low hiss as he slowly slides to the ground.
