wanna hear a story about a boy who's always mistaken 4 a snake? the only human part of this boy is his chest and arms. his face, head, and the rest of him, is snake. he's covered in scales from head 2 tail tip, and he's about 20 feet long, give or take.
he was born in a test tube, along with many other things of mixed DNA. part human, part animal or animals. on the tube it said "Gen. 60" once the egg inside the tube was fertilized it grew a protective shell around it, confusing the scientists. once the egg hatched they realized they used way 2 much snake DNA. he was a large child, and they kept him around till he was about 4, then they tried 2 kill him. however, he was the length of the average 18 year old, and he escaped into the forests of Africa. they never saw him again.
he started eating whatever animals he could. as he grew older he grew longer, hungrier, and faster. so fast, in fact, that he was no more then a blur at top speed.
this boy became feared by the people of Africa, and they still tell tales about him. they said the snake demon Apophis, or Apep, was angry at them 4 killing snakes and came 2 take revenge. they gave up their best live stalk every month or so, fearing they would b killed if they didn't. of course, the boy wouldn't hurt anyone unless they tried 2 kill him. after a total of 100 people dead because they came after him, they left him alone.
more years past and he grew...lonely....out in the forest by himself. he dared a trip into the village in the day. the people marveled at the boy they worshipped without a face. his arrival was celebrated as the coming of a great god. they say he left just as suddenly as he came...
what the real problem was...well, he was growing claustrophobic. there were way 2 many people. he was tired of sneaky people with friendly grins. they acted so strange...perhaps they were 2 friendly...or maybe it was because he could c fear behind each of their eyes...
so he moved into a new town, this time with a plan. he told everyone that he was the great snake demon and he took control of the whole town within a day. took control of the people, loving the feeling of power...so those who apposed him were quickly quieted, along with those who questioned. eventually roomers of bird gods started 2 swirl around, and stories of a snake goddess with wings of a bat came 2 his attention, he had 2 take a look 4 himself. humans couldn't b trusted 2 do this...
sure enough he finds a giant red scale and a path that he follows. at the end there was a girl...kinda like him, only not as long. she had a totally human upper half, though still covered in scales, and she has bat wings. he watches, mesmerized slightly as she keeps watching over the ocean and he wonders if he should b glad that he's not alone or angry 4 the same reason. suddenly she turns and he freezes.
"who's there?" she asks, staring right at him.
"how do u c me?" he asks, his scales blending in perfectly with the background.
"heat sensing." she replies simply.
"how...?" he asks, slithering out of the shadows and staring at her* "you're a snake..."
"pit viper" she mutters "that's how."
"oh...i thought i was the only snake demon..."
"snake demon?!" she laughs "when did u get out of the tank?!"
"tank? what tank? i rule a town as both king and snake demon."
"riiiight....i thought i was supposed 2 b the batty 1..." she mutters, and suddenly he remembers everything he'd forgotten...
"Gen. 60...they kept calling me gen. 60...the second flawed snake DNA recomponit design."
"u'r lookin' at the 1st." she sighs slightly. "i'm Slash, what's your name?"
"... ...Bracken" he decides
she took the boy 2 a clearing full of bird kids and he desided 2 go with them.
what if i told u that it was real? Impossible? re-think possible, fore i am he.

eyes like fire, burn my pelt.
pulse runs higher, pain i felt.
claws are red,
my friend...dead.
ear is torn,
for her, i morn.
my eye hurts,
the pain...won't stop.
my pelt throbbs,
i can't cope.
my life is fading,
my heart aches.
sudden strangth!
can't give up!
clan needs me!
for them, i'll fight!
i will not fight for me,
for i'll give in.
the pain, everywhere,
but i don't care!
pride burns in my heart,
honnor, too.
i will not show my fear,
though it nearly swallows me.
the pain in their eyes,
i forget my own.
they show no fear,
though i know they share it.
the brave cats around me,
it fills me with pride.
for i AM a true warrior,
and i do not cry.
a true warrior can cry,
but not out here.
can show no weakness,
can show no fear.
and sence i'm i true warrior,
and because i am loyal,
i will fight through this,
for no pain is worse then letting them down.
