Sunset in the jungle, the beautiful hues of greens contrasted by the brilliant reds and blues of the evening sky.
Mayus loved this time of day, when the daytime creatures began to settle down and the nighttime creatures started to stir. For the naga, he had just finished a long unsuccessful day of hunting, and was curling up in his favorite tree to take a small siesta.
While most picture nagas as humans with snake tails, Mayus was different. He looked like a large python with a masculine humanoid chest and arms. His scales were black, but shimmered like a rainbow whenever the light caught them. He was large even by naga standards, close to fifty feet in length. His yellow eyes shone like two amber jewels against his obsidian skin.
Just as he was about to doze off, a noise caught his attention from the ground below...

Contrasting the deep greens of the fauna and the vibrant warmth of the fading sky was a silhouette of a lone figure. Regia was a seasoned hiker but this terrain was new to her. Strange calls from unknown birds and shadowed figures of silent animals filled her senses as she began to consider turning back. After all, the jungle might be hot and humid during the day but with the sun setting, the temperature would likely drop.
Looking down at her immodest outfit, Regia sighed. She had equipped herself with a small, black bra and a transparent white shirt on top of it. The shirt was tied off above her stomach and just below her bare waist sat her favorite pair of cargo pants. She had decided to finish the outfit with hiking boots, leaving her mostly covered from her waist-down. Reconsidering her revealing outfit, Regia looked up at the now pink sky and decided that maybe it wasn't time to head back. After all, her skin had a slight sheen due to the layer of sweat that had been building up from the heat.
"Some cool night air might not be so bad..."
The 19 year old blonde had a habit of speaking to herself out loud, especially when she was hiking. She figured no one was around to hear her, so there was no need to internalize her thoughts. With her self-dialogue continuing, she ventured deeper and deeper into this unknown territory. However, unknown to her, Regia's speaking could eventually be heard by another set of ears...

A voice. A distinct human voice. The naga raised his head from his pile of coils, looking down to the ground below. a smile grew across his thin reptilian lips at the sight of the teen beneath his tree.
"Well, isn't this a surprise?" he said, talking aloud to himself as well, not really thinking his new target might hear him like he heard her.

Trekking further into the brush, Regia paused for a moment as she heard a faint noise. Something was off about this noise, though, as it didn’t belong to the jungle. It sounded almost…human. But she didn’t concern herself with it for long as it was barely loud enough to be audible.
Just after her idle pause, Regia decided to stop a moment to take in the jungle symphony. As the sun disappeared from the darkening sky, she slumped against a tree and listened to the birds.
“There’s nothing like this…”
She said, taking a deep breath of thick jungle air. Regia had hiked many other jungles, forests, and trails, making her somewhat experienced. And that’s why, when she suddenly felt like something was watching her, she knew it was more than just a feeling…

Mayus couldn't believe his luck. Not only was there a human in his territory, she had decided to rest near his tree.
He tried to be silent as possible, moving his long body from tree to tree to close the distance between himself and her. His coils did disrupt a few nesting birds, as well as rustle a couple smaller branches.

“Something weird is going on…”
The seasoned explorer said, eyeing the jungle canopy around her. Suddenly, branches on a nearby tree tumbled to the ground and a small flock of birds erupted from the neighboring trees.
“What was tha…”
Regia stopped herself mid-sentence, realizing that maybe talking out loud wasn’t the best choice in this situation. As more branches fell and more birds disturbed, her eyes darted from tree to tree frantically. The idea of this mystery creature being a big jungle predator scared Regia, as she started to back away from the direction of the noises. Her bare stomach drew in and out as her breaths became accelerated.
As she walked backwards, her eyes still on the treeline, her heel hit a rock and suddenly, she fell onto her back. Now in a vulnerable position, Regia paused, thinking that it might be time to head back.

A few seconds after she fell, the naga lowered himself into view just a few feet away from her.
His eyes scanned her body, taking in every curve of her shapely form. "Say now, what have we here?" He spoke softly, when his eyes finally met hers.

Regia was in shock. She couldn’t move apart from her trembling breath and shaking legs. What was this creature before her? Was it real? What does it want?
All of these thoughts raced through her mind but all that came out of her mouth was, “Help…”
She didn’t even process that it was speaking to her. All she could do was crawl backwards over the jungle floor one hand at a time.

Fear, a logical reaction to seeing such an unusual creature. He loved it.
Mayus lowered himself to almost ground level with her, looking up across her body as she tried to crawl away. What she didn't see was that she was crawling towards another tree.
"Ssssh, don't be frightened, I didn't mean to scare you..."

As she attempted to crawl away from the approaching creature, Regia froze.
“Y-you can t-talk….?”
Her quivering lips managed those few words before falling silent yet again. Her mind was still processing how this creature could speak to her. The only conclusion that it could draw was danger.
“Just let me get…back to where I was…I-I’m lost…let me go…”
These words trailed out of Regia’s mouth as she started to crawl backwards even faster, her heart racing. However, dread quickly filled her mind as her hand ran into a surface…a rough one. She quickly realized that her body was now up against a tree with nowhere to run.

Cornered, trapped, and nowhere to run, just how Mayus liked it.
Her fear probably made the naga's already large body look double of what it really was.
"Ssssh, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to look at you..." he replied softly, raising his head to be level with hers as she finally rose to her feet with her back against the tree.

As Regia rose to a standing position, back pressed up against the tree, her bare belly and chest drew in and out rapidly.
“Look….why do you w-want to look at me?”
Regia was now fully pressed up against the tree. This made her chest press forward as she reluctantly met the eyes of the creature before her.
“I-I’m sorry…this is just a lot for me…”
Regia said, trying to quell her fear.

"Forgive me, it's not every day one sees a human so..beautiful." he said, hovering his head close to her head and upper chest. "Do you not like me looking at you?"

"Well...this is all just a bit shocking..."
Regia was starting to lower her mental defenses, seeing the creature's apparent innocence. After all, it had just called her beautiful and whether or not she wanted to admit it, that made Regia blush. However, a lingering sense of fear sat in her mind, making her cross her arms so that she was covering some of her chest and stomach.
"So...what is it that you want?"

The naga's gaze was drawm to her movements, watching her as she crossed her arms. He seemed distracted by such a simple movement, he almost didn't catch her words.
"Hmmm? Oh. Ahhh, just to satisfy a couple of things, my dear..."
