The predator becomes prey. Synderth didn't expect such a plot twist like this after all these years keeping a high position in the chain food! He heard a lot about Inkanyamba, thousands of stories about her, but curiously, none of them narrated by the creature that actually have been with her, only stories of friends that talked with the victims about the small encounters with the serpent... but the protagonists of those interesting descriptions, sooner or later dissapeared completely somehow. They still searching them until today. Luckily for Synderth, some of those descriptions and stories mentioned a possible direction of her location or territory, and surprisingly, her hatchday date. It's was today!! Such a great moment to look for her and give his best wishes to her on this special day, isn't?. That leaded him to explore and investigate every single clue he could find, believing that the fact they both belong to the same "family" would make a even more perfect meeting. Ah, how right he was..

Synderth managed to find giant grooves in the ground, everything at its way completely crushed, with a thickness almost 3 times bigger than him... He started to follow his only clue until the track went lost in a river. The most interesting thing at that point was, the silence. Only the fresh sound of water flowing and a very soft wind that barely could move the branches of the wood, everything else was... Like dead, like if there's was no life at all, the air felt heavy there... He was in the right direction. He decided to keep looking for her at night, preparing a cake to celebrate her birthday with her, what a good guy...

The night fell, as there he was. Going directly into the thickness of the woods, straight to the silence, he could even hear his own slithering on the ground, something not usual at all. The candle of the cake was extremelly striking, specially combined with the iridiscense of his scales, which was good for him! Since he could catch the attention of Inkanyamba from far away... What he didn't know, is that he was being followed from the beggining in the distance, until now. Suddently, everything around Synderth's area begun to move, branches, trees, rocks, everything. Something huge was trapping him, not him, but the area around him. Two incredibly bright eyes rised from the undergrowth, fixed on him, she didn't get distracted a single second while he was in shock seeing at the size of her admired predator. The coils around him getting closer and closer everytime, several parts of his own body was already buried under the heavy weight of her spirals, her eyes approaching to his head... The fear invaded him when he looked into her eyes, already next to him, and he recognized that gaze; the gaze when you trapped a prey, when you know your prey is helpless, when your prey is aware that this is their end, that there's no scape anymore, that it's too late... He had that gaze many times and he enjoyed every single one of them. This time, he was the victim of it. Her tail went into his most personal space, invading it, coiling his waist, followed by the chest, ending in his neck. This is when he knew, he commited a big mistake. The last one.
