Out in the jungle a slender figure was walking through the clear trails; ones that weren't blocked by bushes or high roots. This figure was in good shape unlike most tourists that wander the steamy jungles. Most don't know their way around, but Mora was well at getting around these kind of terranes. She had a short chocolate hair that was held back with a orange bandana. She was dressed in clothes that were perfect for the jungle with its hot and harsh climate, with a side of moister in the air. On her back was her backpack with all the essential tools needed for hiking. Yet despite that she was a pro at this she had made a small mistake and got turned around ending up off the trail. If her head wasn't in a fritz she wouldn't have made that mistake. Yet the reason she is out here is to help clear her head. Mora stops and sits on a thick root that wasn't crawling with bugs. This was truly irritating. Her head and her heart are just so messed up. It's all his fault. Her stupid boyfriend. Using her like that. She is not some Barbie for some guy. She's a person that wants devotion and love. Real love. With him hurting her, Mora left her hometown and went to a jungle in the south she has explored before for vacation. But because of her heartache now she is making errors that might get her in serious trouble. Mora goes for her bag and grabs her canteen for a drink. It helps her thirst but she felt she might get teary again which won't help her. Her head drops in a near defeat motion. With a sight she asked herself, "What am I gonna do?"

Unbeknownst to the young woman, she had straid into the territory of one of the most feared and respected creatures in the whole of the jungle. A creature far older than anything else in the wilds, a creature spoken in hushed wispers by the jungles other inhabitants, Bosk. Bosk the Great old one, Bosk the Mighty, Bosk the Colossol, Bosk the Wise. Bosk had live for so long, and had learned much, There was nothing he did not know. There was a time when All the great heads and leaders of teh Jungle came to him for council. But as he grew in size and power, more and more saw him as Bosk the Wise and more as Bosk the Colossol and Terrible, a unwarrented and unwanted reputation. But he had become used to other fearing him, his new tital of Bosk the Colossol was not unfounded, as it was impossible to find a creature larger and more powerful than him. With is golden, brown and tan scales, he was a true sight to behold.
Presently he was resting in the high branches of his favourite tree, He had been dozing, just a quick nap to soak up some noonday sun. When he heard what h though was the sound of movement through the Foliage belonw, with a great yawn he shook the sleep from his head and peered down from his high perch. Down below he saw her, a Female of Man, This was unuseual, as Man rarely if ever ventured this far into the jungle, and even then they traveled in hunting packs, what was this loond female doing alone, and so far from other humans.
His intrest was piequed, silently he slythered down to some of the lower branches to get a batter look at this female human. As he did so, the birds and smaller animals in the area became silent, for Bosk the Mighty had awakened.

Mora puts her canteen away and pats her cheeks. She needs to push the feeling down till she at least get's back on the right track. Now she has tried turning 180 in an effort to get back to where she recognized, but it wasn't too successful. Maybe now she should try getting up high and get a bird's eye view. But none of the trees around this immediate area were a good choice. Their trunks were wide, and the branches were to high to grab. Even jumping for them would be as silly as a newborn trying to reach top shelf in a pantry.

This new visitor intrigued bosk, he hummed/growled lowly with intrest, he so rarely got visitors, especially ones that walked straight into his home, it would have been very impolite of him not to introduce himself to such a visitor.
His long strong body gripped into oneof the larger branches, and he began to decent through the foliage to the open area below, first his gold and brown snout, he flicked his long forked tongue then the rest of his head. just over a foot wide and almost three foot long, his tital of Bosk the Colossol was not unfounded. As he emerged from the leaves his Orange eyes gazed down at the female human below, now closer he got a better view of her, even though he was close to twelve feet above her.
*Fasinating* he thought, Humans where a rare sight this far into the jungle, females even rarrer, so he would take this opertunity to study this human as close as possible, weather she liked it or not.
He gave another low growling hiss, not to scare her, it was just so large and old, he couldn't help it.

Mora hear the growl and snapped her body in the direction it came from. She knew well about the dangerous predators of the jungle. She reached for her machete from it's sheath. This jungle did have big cats. Normally she was in the areas they weren't around, but she is lost so she may be in one of those areas they roam.

Bosk gave a gravaly chuckle, this human was brave, she didn't act like prey, such a constitution would serve her well.
But he didn't want her to run off so he would take the first action.
He released the branch above him, causing all 60+ feet of his Golden and Brown body to crash through the lower branches, his huge body piled and came to rest behind her. His head and neck towering ten feen over his massive body pile, he gave an amused hissing growl, flicking his tongue lazily.

Mora was greatly surprised, this looked so unreal. A snake of unimaginable size. She’s seen an andacoda at the zoo and thought that was the biggest of snakes. This was indeed frightening. Big snakes are not known for biting to poison, but they do worse; squeeze. This might be able to squish an elephant. Mora keeps watch on the snake while she tries backing away, maybe she can’t just leave.

"You are cautious....good, it is unwise to wonder the Jungle, with out one's wits about them" Bosk hissed/growled. He continued to star at the girl, noticing her backing away from him. "I assure you my dear, i do not mean you harm, though i wonder why you have straised into my territory, perhaps you may introduce yourself?" Bosk asked politely, showing the girl far more decorum than any snake should.

“Whatta what?” Mora blurted out. Did the snake just speak? “Am I imagining this?” She didn’t lower her blade but stopped in her tracks of her slow retreat.

"You are most assuredly not my dear, I am Bosk the old and the wise, Might i have you name, you did wonder into my home and disturn a rather plesent nap i was having" growl/hissed Bosk, Now slythering off his body and slowly approaching the girl. "I promice you that i mean you no harm" He said deeply bowing to her in respect.

"I'm.. Mora. I kinda got turned around along the bend. So, sorry that I woke you and walked into your territory." Mora begins lowering her guard, yet this still was so strange. "I just wanted to be in the wilderness to...to help cheer myself up. She felt some prickling behind her eyes. The sting of betrayal hurts so much.

"Hmmmmmmm" he rumbled, he reworked some of his body to make a pile of undilating scales, into somthing resembaling a giant beanbag chair made of coils. "Please come, rest yourself Mora, it's plain you need it" he offered, he could see she was troubled and it would not be wise to let her leave with such clouded judgment. "Truth be told it has been some time since i last recived a visitor" he growld/hissed lowly.

Normally Mora would know best and not get so close to a stranger, let alone a wild animal that could kill her. But her head was indeed clouded by her hurt feelings, so she accepts the offer and has a seat. The pile of coils was smooth and squishy, but not like sinking where she wouldn't be able to get out like some chairs with too much give would do. She sniffs and wipes her hand to her nose as the feeling was coming back again.

"I take it you are troubled Mora? Why not tell Bosk the oldest and wisest of serpents your troubles" he hissed/growled, placing his impressive gold and brown head upon her lap in an attempt to comfort her. Some lengths of his body vibrated at her sides and back, to try and help her to ease her tentions.

"What troubles me? What troubles me is that I have been betrayed." Mora places a hand on the snakes head and runs it along his neck that she could reach. Surprising that a GIANT snake was letting her do this, petting him like a house dog. "My boyfriend. We have been together for almost two years. And then... sniff... and then I found out he was dating another girl behind my back. I wanted to believe it wasn't true but I caught him. Holding another girl and caressing her face like she was the one. His only one. When we were together he was so sweet. He made me feel so special. Now see it was all a lie." A tear streaked down her face. "I told him he deserved no one and cut him off from my life. But I didn't want to just stay home and cry about it. I've always enjoyed being out in the wilderness, so I came here cause I've explores this jungle many times. And now I'm lost." Mora was unable to hold it in as more tears cascade down her cheeks. She holds her fists to her eyes to cover with more sniffles escaping her.
