"Really, I can’t accept this." Angel said, handing the envelope back to his parents. "You heard your mother kid." his father said, sitting on the couch. "But mom, I don’t want to-" "No buts, you need to take some time for yourself," she said, taking the envelope and stuffing it inside his son's jacket.
Inside the envelope was a plane ticket for the next day, with all expenses paid. Pushing her son down the hall, the woman discussed the different reasons why Angel should take that plane and take a well-deserved vacation.
"We have already discussed it with your superior, and he agrees that you take some time off." she continued, opening the front door. "What?! How did you talk to…?" Angel looked confused, facing the porch of the house. "We love you honey, and this is the best for you" she said, smiling bitterly and slamming the door behind him.
...
"AH!" Angel screamed, waking up.
The waves of the beach were up to the waist of the young man, who was still disoriented and dazed, wondering what was happening. Feeling the gritty touch of the wet sand upon his body, Angel tried to get to his feet, but failed and collapsed back onto the sand. Cursing himself, he crawled away from the sea. Angel was speechless, with a thousand of thoughts over his mind. Trying to roll over, he lay on his back, gasping for air. What had happened? How had he ended up here? WHERE was here? Confused, he lifted his upper body, but could only stare at the terrifying endless ocean. His clothes were torn, and he had bruises all over his body.
"Help!" he yelled, breathless.
The sound of waves crashing on the shore was his only response. His memory was fuzzy, with memories that seemed like dreams and so many questions that, at least for now, he couldn't answer.
"Someone… help" he cried out, fainting again.

Ahhh the jungles of Álah’kū.
The tropical island was uncharted and hidden from the world, and those who ended up on her shores ended up there for a reason. Filled with beauty and wonder, the jungles these chains of islands possessed also held many dangers and trials. The inhabitants of the jungle knew how to survive, those human, animal, and other. Álah’kū blessed those who took care of her and punished those who didn't.
And just as soon as Angel had crashed landed onto her shores, word spread out of "the man from the sky". The islands were abuzz with the news of a new entity entering the jungle. Who was he? Where was he? Was he good or bad? Did he come to stay or leave?
The news reached the man village, and both male and female hunters were sent out to investigate. Yet other beings had other plans.
The knews had reached the ears of a certain trickster of the jungle. Rocco the ball python was a nuisance to many who crossed his path. A real pest, like a mosquito in someone's ear. Rocco meant no harm and would never hurt anyone, but sometimes he gets carried away and his definition of "friend" and "mindless slave who will obey his every word and stay with him forever" gets a bit jumbled.
"The man from the sky huh? I just gotta meet this jungle newbie! And help him get settled...into my coils" Rocco giggled to himself as he began to slither through the canopy, flickering his tongue and using his rather cartoony eyes and head to search for this new prize.

Angel opened his eyes, putting his hand to his head, still dazed from his blackout. No, it hadn't been a bad dream, he was on a beach, alone and with bruises all over his body. What the hell had happened to him? He tried to get up, fighting himself not to fall.
"Where… am I?" he said, turning around and finding himself in the lushest of jungles.
Complaining, the young man entered the jungle, but not before marking the nearby trees with a stone, hoping to return to the beach when he regained his breath.
"Hello?! Anyone there?" he yelled, beginning his trek through the jungle.

That's when it hit Rocco. It was distant and faint, but oh so there. The scent of man. That sweet supple flesh of a human, oh how the bubbly boa missed having someone in his coils. Rocco couldn't wait to make a new...friend.
Rocco slithered in the direction of the smell and before long be heard it too. A deep, masculine voice calling for help, yelling at the top of his lungs.
"What a stupid man cub he must be to be screaming in these jungles. Stupid...and very handsome" Rocco hissed as he looked below at the source of the noise. There he was. The man from the sky. He was tall and good looking, in a mature and rugged kind of way. His hair was clean and cut and he was well groomed, signs that he did in fact not live in Álah’kū. His extra skins were tattered and soaking wet, and he seemed to be hurt, bruises covering his arms and legs.
A plan quickly formed through Rocco's mind, and when it was foolproof the dastardly serpent made his move.
"Hey hey hey! You can't just go screaming like that in these parts!"
Rocco hissed as he slithered down from the canopy above, hovering a few inches away from the new jungle visitor.
"Don't you know the rules of the jungle?" Rocco said with a stern and curious look on his cartoony head.

Hearing the warning, the young man stopped screaming. Disoriented, he searched for the voice that had just spoken, bumping his nose against Rocco's muzzle.
"Hm?!" he jumped, widening his eyes.
The young took a step back, tripping and falling on the ground. Was he imagining things? Was he hallucinating?
"Did you just TALK?!" Angel gasped, not in fear, but in surprise.
How on earth could a snake talk? And why did it look like a cartoon? Still in pain, the young man got back on his feet, complaining again of his injuries.

"Oof" Rocco grunted as he was bumped into by the lost and confused man cub.
"Wow you really aren't from here huh? All animals talk in Álah’kū!" the snake explained as he watched the man get back to his feet.
"The name's Rocco and it's nice to meetcha!" the boa constrictor giggled as he extended his tail for a sort of handshake.

Finding lost and confused humans did not seem like anything new to the boa constrictor, who laughed happily and extended his tail towards the young man as a friendly handshake. However, for Angel, this encounter wasn't just any encounter, this meeting meant a radical change in his life, although he was not yet aware of it. He watched as Rocco's mouth moved and could hear words coming from it. It definitely looked like the boa was the one who was talking!
"Álah... what?" Angel said confused, still skeptical talking to the boa.
That name didn't ring a bell. Looking into the distance, Angel was trying to locate the name on an imaginary map of the world, without success. Clearing his throat, Rocco looked at the young man and then at his tail, which was still outstretched and waiting to be greeted.
"Oh, emm... my bad" he exclaimed, resting one hand behind his head, "I’m Angel" Without thinking, the young man grabbed the boa's tail and gave it a limp handshake. The touch of the tail was cool and squishy, as expected from a reptilian body. Flashing a smile, Angel laughed too, relaxing a bit after all that had happened. Who would have thought that he would be having a conversation with a snake?
"So... Rocco, right?" the young man asked, "What did you say about the rules of the jungle? What is this place?"

Rocco giggled as he felt Angels strong hand shake his tail in a firm grip. After an initial scare it seemed the handsome hunk was calming down and getting used to the idea of a talking snake in the jungle.
“Angel huh? Well Angel you must be from a foreign land if your snakes don’t talk where your from. Welcome to Álah’kū!” Rocco said in a cheerful and giddy way. The bubbly boa seemed friendly, but it was all part of his master plan to snatch the lost man cub and bring him into his tree.
“You won’t find a better home no sir. The jungles are as sweet as the fruit and we got all kinds of species living here. Man cubs, animals cubs, monster cubs” Rocco said giving Angel a quick breakdown of how the island worked.
“And there are lots of rules you gotta follow. Number 1 would be not to scream for help when dangerous predators could be lurking about. Your lucky I found you before a ferocious tiger did!” Rocco said as he wrapped a coil around Angles broad shoulders to pull him closer.
“Heyyy you seem hurt! How about I take you up to my tree and I can give you a run down on the rest of the rules of the jungle while you rest up? Whatddya say?” The boa asked wiggling his eyebrows as he began to gently massage Angles neck and shoulders.

The young man's mind was still somewhat dazed, wondering if all this was really happening or if it was just a very lucid dream. In any case, he preferred to go with the flow and befriend the boa. Rocco didn't seem like a threat, and even he seemed to want to help Angel.
"I guess you're right, I'm not from around here" Angel admitted, admiring the beautiful jungle around him. Nodding, Angel listened carefully to Rocco's advice, looking dubious at coils that began to wrap around his shoulders. It felt like the tail he held a second ago, slimy and cold, but firm, even tempting if you ask.
"This? Nah, don’t worry, it's just a scratch" he said pointing to his wounds. "And although that's a very tempting offer, I need to-"
Angel stopped talking when Rocco’s coils began to gently massage him, making him close his eyes. Soft groans escaped his mouth as his tense shoulders began to relax. The soft scales of the boa caressed his sensitive skin, working their magic and alluring the unsuspecting hunk.

Just like magic. Before long Angels eyes had fluttered closed as soft groans escaped his mouth. The handsome hunks protests had been immediately cut short when the bubbly boa worked his coils into an oh so relaxing massage, turning Angels muscles into putty and easing his dazed mind, slowly earning the crash landers trust.
“Feels good doesn’t it. And there’s a lot more where that came from if you come with me! I’m just tryna help Angel. You’re lucky I found you, instead of some sick serpent who has secret intentions” Rocco smiled, knowing very well he was one of those snakes.
“Come on man cub…you can trust in me” the boa winked as he wrapped another coil around Angel toned waist, some abs peaking through his ripped shirt. With one final squeeze, Rocco knew Angel would agree to a quick trip to his tree.

"Ro-Rocco…" he slurred in a vain attempt to protest, melting into Rocco’s embrace.
Angel couldn't help but shiver, sinking under the incredible massage that the bubbly boa was giving him. His arms rested at his sides, surrendering to the pleasure Rocco gave him. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw how the boa smiled at him, encouraging him to stay and enjoy a nice massage. What a wonderful friend...
"I’m very lucky…" he muttered, smiling back at Rocco. "If you insist… I think I can stay a little longer"
He giggled, feeling another coil wrapping his waist and groping his abs. Rocco was meticulously squeezing parts of the young man's body, lulling him with his soft voice. At this point, Angel would agree with anything the cunning boa said.

Rocco was successfully lulling the confused and poor hunk into a false sense of security. Using his fear and lostness from the plane crash for his agenda how sinister how manipulative how…very Rocco. The boa meant no harm, he was just using every trick necessary to keep his new friend in his coils for as long as possible.
“Yay! A new friend! I’m so excited you’re going to stay a while man cub. Up we go- oh” Rocco paused when he caught a glimpse of Angels feet. Despite his other clothes being tattered and worn from the recent crash, the studs footwear seemed to be in tact.
“No shoes in my tree Angel that’s my one rule! Can um…make the branches unstable. Now be a good friend and take those dirty things off” the bubbly boa said using his tail to point to Angels shoes and socks, but saw some hesitation in Angels face.
“You don’t mind right? After all it’s just a silly rule and I am offering you safety from the dangers of the jungle…” Rocco said as he continued to massage and squeeze Angels shoulders and waist, trying to guilt the hunky man cub into compiling.

He couldn't deny that he was willing to stay with him, forgetting his problems for a moment. Rocco made him feel safe, or at least promised to help and advise him, teaching him the rules of the jungle while giving him a very relaxing massage. Seeing the boa so cheerful and childlike made him remember when he was younger, innocently playing with his friends without fear or worry.
"Hmm?" he exclaimed, peeking at where the tail was pointing. "My shoes?"
Rules are there for a reason, but did he really need to take off his shoes? It was true that they were covered in sand and mud from his short walk from the beach, and even his socks were still wet. Angel looked back at the boa and caught a glimpse of concern on his face, showing a sad expression that the young man was forced to imitate. Rocco's coils tightened around the hunk's body again, causing him to let out another groan.
"Mmmm..." he moaned, kicking his shoes off, and when Rocco’s grip loose a bit, the young man complied, removing his socks too, stepping on the wet ground of the jungle. "Your tree, your rules"

"So happy you're starting to see things my way Angel. Can't wait to have some fun!" Rocco beamed. Fun was indeed in store for the pair, but what kind of fun? Angel would soon find out.
Now that the hunk was barefoot and ready to be coiled Rocco wrapped a few coils around his waist and legs to support him, lifing Angel into the air and into the canopy. "Here we go!"
Angel was gently lifted high into the air for what seamed like forever, getting higher and higher and watching the ground disappear below him.
"Welcome to my tree! It's not much but I hope you like it" Rocco giggled as he set the barefoot hunk down on a thick, rough tree branch.

It was as if Angel weighed nothing, being lifted effortlessly up to the canopy by his new 'friend'. Rocco cared a lot for him, tightening his coils around the young man's torso and legs with no mischievous intention other than to hold him tight to prevent him from falling.
"Wow, you're a pretty strong snake, aren't you?" he said impressed, trying to stay as still as possible.
When they finally reached the top of the tree, Rocco giggled, setting the hunk on a thick branch. The rough feel of the tree trunk on his soles was very different from Rocco's loving coils, which kept caressing him, never letting go.
"Are you kidding? Look at the view you have of the jungle!" Angel exclaimed, overwhelmed by the clear sky and the vast jungle ahead.
