Redsand Canyon Dearg

This is set for about midday tomorrow. ^^

The snake with the rattling tail sat coiled on a bright red stone. Sunlight streamed from overhead to bathe the serpent. Its figure was relaxed, draped over the sloping edge of the rock. It bulged where the body of the snake was most round. The beast did not seem perturbed by the position in which it basked in the sunlight.

Kinloch was curious. He had drawn near enough to smell the snake and to observe it with watchful eyes. The glint of bronze from his vision was brightened as he lifted his head and took a tentative step toward the serpent on the rock.

A gut feeling told him that he should not step any closer. His interest held him grounded in place.
