Sucuriju

"Where is your protecting spirit now?" taunted Kalana. "Where is your scaly god to save you, old men!"
For long years Kalana want to be become the chief of his tribe, but Wazabi, the old and well respected chief, won't die...
And now Kalana don't want to wait any longer and on a hunting tour he killed old Wazabi with a poisoned arrow... all of his tribe would think, it was a accident, and Kalana did all to save Wazabis life... and would accept him as the new chief too.
"Sucuriju.... will revenge.... me...!" gasped the dying old men...
"I spit on your green dirty worm-spirit!" answered Kalana. "Now i am the chief of the tribe!"
But Wazabi did not hear Kalanas tauntings any more... he was already dead...

Then Kalana bandaged the old mans wound and leaned him on a tree trunk... he do all this to pretending, that he tried to help him. Kalana was satisfied... only a march of 2 hours to his village, and then pretending that he was horrified about this "accident"... and anyone would love him and accept him as the new chief.

He followed the path near the big river through the jungle... and suddenly, he heared a faint noise behind his back... he turned around... and his blood seems turning to ice in his veins... he stared on it... he tried to scream, but only a faint gasping leaved his throat...

Sucuriju was hungy... very hungry... he never dared to hunt on this big, two-legged animals before, but now he must trying it or die for... the last hunts of the great serpent turned all out as unsuccessfull, and if this not enough, his last prey, a big capybara, injured Sucuriju and escaped, and he had to wait two weeks, before his deep wounds finally healed.

"P....P...Please.... f...forgive me, O g...g...great Sucuriju..." stammered Kalana with a hoarse voice, but at the same time he knowed, that Sucuriju will surely not forgive his offence against him.

Sucuriju didn't know nothing about the status of a god, that the humans have given him. He was only hungry... and for a moment unsure about this big prey.... it seemed too big, to strong, and so he decided almost, to cancel the attack and retreat into the river... but then he smelled the fear in the sweat of this two legged animal with his hissing tongue... he raised his bulky head two foots higher and opened his jaws a little bit... the smell of fear increased instantly...

Kalana stared into the greedy drooling fangs of "the green dirty worm-spirit", saw the rows of small, but razorsharp teeth... but finally he get a little bit of his composure back... he had to fight... fight with a god! His bow and the poisoned arrows are laying beside Wazabis body... he only had his knife... he stared into the eyes of Sucuriju... he did not saw the mighty body of the god, that slithered silently out of the thicket, behind him, around him... he was already surrounded by Sucurijus coils before he noticed it...

The hungry snake lowered his head a little bit, searching for a good body part where to seize this prey with his fangs... all seems so different on this bizarre animal that stand all the time only on his hind legs...

"M...mighty Sucuriju, p...please forgive me... L...let me go...!" stammered Kalana again, but at the same time and even if his heart was filled with great fear, he grabbed his knive for trying to outwit the god. He must try to fight... he had not to expect any forgiveness after that, what he deed and sayed.
But then Kalanas eyes went down from Sucurijus head to his body... he saw the massive, slowly slithering muscular coils of the god laying around him and his fear doubled... crying and trembling he sank on his knees, the knife still in his hand... no mercy, no chance... he was lost!

Under other circumstances Kalana would had a very good chance in this fight. He was a strong and experienced warrior and Sucuriju was weakened by the long time at the edge of starvation. But Sucuriju was not a simple animal, but a mighty god for him, and he did not know, that Sucuriju had never attacked a human before and was very unsure. And so Kalanas own fear was on the serpents side too. To went down on his knees made him smaller in the predators eyes... and this sealed his fate.

For the serpent it was a normal attack on prey, for Kalana it was the punishment for his sacrilege, as the snake swiftly swing his head around and seized Kalanas left arm. It was only a pure coincidence, that this was the arm, that hold the knife... but for Kalana it was a attack with a particular aim in the cold mind of the god. Kalana felt the sharp teeth sunk into his flesh and he lost his knife... his last chance for defence... and at the same time the first two mighty coils enlaced his body.

But Kalana was still a strong warrior... in spite of his fear he fight for his life. With all of his power he tried to breathe and to overpower the constricting coils of the angry god. And Sucuriju did all to avoid this. The third coil bind Kalanas legs, the fourth followed around his wriggling feets... This was even a stronger prey than the reptile had thought, and it resists the serpents deadly coils with all of its power and every time when Sucuriju doubles his efforts to break his victims resistance, Kalana fight back with the same power...

Now Kalana was in trouble... but Sucuriju was in trouble too... The giant serpent wasn't able to cancel his attack anymore, because Kalana may strike back and injure or maybe even kill him... and Kalana felt, that he get weaker every minute he fight against the god... yes, Kalana even thought, Sucuriju played a cruel game of torture with him and did not want to kill him too fast...

At last it was a question of endurance. Sucuriju wrapped Kalana with 5 coils... normally the great snake needed only 2-3 coils to overpower his prey. And now Kalana was not able to move anymore, but he still managed it to squeam and breathe a little bit... and Sucuriju increased all the time the tension of his coils and the fight take almost 20 minutes before Sucuriju wrapped a further coil around the head of his gasping prey... and a few minutes later Kalanas heart stops beating and a last shudder run trough his body....

Devouring this big prey was a hard work that costs more than 3 hours... Sucuriju was not fully grown at this time, and Kalana was far the biggest prey that the hungry serpent ever killed. It was his first human but he already started to like it: Good prey without too many fur and with a ideal body-shape for swallowing... and in the following years the predator learned to distinguish male and female humans... and when he was grown even bigger, he prefer the smaller and weaker, the female one, to his favorite victims.

This work was inspired by a discussion that i had with Jellaboom about "our lovely monster-snakes" and how to feed them correctly It seems, it has a long tradition to let this beasts prey on its favorite food... young, innocent women, but Jellaboom asked me, why not on MEN too?
A good question, especially after i mentioned already before in "Slithering Terror - Closeup" , that the first human prey of my GA V1.0 was actually a man...
So, why not made a work with a little story out of it? Okay, here is the result. In the virtual life of my "lovely, slithering pet", this happened a few years before Jennifer shared the same cruel fate in this serpents coils.

And at the same time i felt, my GA V1.0 finally needs a name. It was a creation of my ID and so a part of me, and GA V1.0, for "Green Anaconda V1.0", the working title through the arising of this beast from my ID, sounds too much like a new version of software. "Sucuriju" was inspired by the name "Sucuriju gigante", a mythical monster-anaconda or -boa... for gods sake it exists only in myths and now on your computer-screeen... but... hush... didn't you hear the faint noise behind you...?
