Firefly Glen BWP: Midgard Serpent

Boartusk challenge: - Your character is bitten by a snake and their wound becomes infected.

Fraction of time it took to split the reality of the crippled girl in before and after. The pain came suddenly. She yelped and yanked her paw away from the yet invisible attacker. It let go right away and fell on the ground almost noiselessly. Her surprised and distraught gaze met that of a small snake. Its cold golden eyes stared back at her without blinking and then it disappeared in the grass.

The injury was barely visible, but it hurt a lot and an hour later it had swollen. Kau's mind had become foggy and she had a difficult time to walk in a straight line. At times it felt as if her mind and limbs were two separate entities. Eventually they gave up and she collapsed in a heap somewhere in the glen. The grass was tall, she was not visible to others and therefore relatively safe.

There she lied, her heart racing and breathing rate accelarated, while her confused mind conjured the most fantastic images before her eyes.
