Haunted Wood see you on the flip side byers

Snake was increasingly intrigued by the scent that lured him to these forests. The massive obsidian beast had been simply wandering, no set plan in mind. His breath came out of his jaws in puffs of mist and ice, and for long moments, while black paws continued along the path in front of him, he focused on this exhaling condensation. Lithe body slithered through dark trees like that of a snake, paws silent. That unfamilar scent stuck to his nostrils like tar and Snake planned on following it until he reached it's owner. 

And reach it's owner he did. 

The boy captured by his emerald gaze was coated in grey, and oh how young he was. A crooked grin curled upon his maw followed by a rumble of laughter low in his chest. He used the shadows to his advantage, sneaking around him in circles and only appearing in his peripheral view just to rapidly disappear if he did not turn to look fast enough. He weaved through the trees, swimming through the darkness that cloaked the man running rampant through the forest.  "Curiousssity killed the cat, you know."
