"Good to know."Havoc nodded slightly.
He opened the door in one swift movement, gun raised and eyes narrowed as he forced his eyes to focus quickly to the gloom enveloping him.
He moved out of the dim lit hall, into the dark and quiet room. All around was a vast dark grey, figures moved almost silently around them, maybe preparing to attack.
His breathing was shallow as his eyes darted from one figure to the next.
"Where's the exit?"His voice was sharp and slightly hushed, pretty sure 'they' would hear him even if he did whisper, it was just the atmosphere that somehow demanded that tone of voice.

"Just keep going straight. You turn at all and you fall into a pit of Cabriaons. The venom from one won't do anything, but the venom from fifty will kill you" Martel warned, beginning to walk straight ahead.
As she walked, there were faint hissing sounds coming from every direction. Every once in a while, a small creature would dash across the pathway. The creatures looked like rattlesnakes, only they had four legs and a hore on top of their heads.

Jean's eyes widened slightly, he also jumped slightly as something brushed past his leg.
He kept walking straight, keeping his eyes in front of him and not at his feet, all the time muttering 'oh fuck' as shadows kept leaping up.
"How far?"He asked his trigger finger twitching with each step.

Martel shrugged. "I have no idea" she said, lashing her knife to her side. The blade stabbed through the throat of a Cabriaon. "Well, good news is, I caught something for us to eat" she said, smiling as she peeled the dead monster from the knife.

He didn't even flinch at the idea. During war times, eating anything you could find was almost a must to survive.
"How's it taste?"He felt something stop in front of his boot, not even thinking about it, he just gave a wild kick. He felt the collision against his boot and heard something whooshing across the room.
He continued with a satisfying grin.

"It's not edible" Martel said, closing her mouth on the creatures. Taking her mouth off, she looked back to Havoc. "For me, the venom is like.....I think it's called coffee. It gives me more energy than food ever could".

Jean winced slightly, it was kinda gross.
"What i wouldn't give for some coffee right now."He let out a small sigh as something larger than a Cabriaon jumped at him. His gun went up instantly, trigger pulled and a bang echoed through the room as the creature let out a short screech.
It's blood splattered gently onto the floor as Jean continued walking.
"I don't even wanna know."

Finishing the venom, Martel tossed the creature over to Gilgamesh. The snake swallowed it in one bite. "What's coffee like anyway?" she asked Jean, following after him. Having been born and raised in this world, she had never tasted drinks that humans enjoyed.

Havoc turned his head in time to miss Gil 'eating'. He was hungry as it was and didn't feel like getting put off food just yet.
He actually had to think about it, not having had any in a while.
"Well, i guess, it's kinda bitter."He shrugged"Unless you add sugar."
He now frowned, a sudden urge for coffee arising.

Martel was looking around at the knotted trees that covered the path. "Well, I can't make coffee, but I think I can make something that tastes a little like it" she offered, pulling some dark red nuts off a tree branch.

"Handy, but let's get outta here first."Havoc glanced behind him quickly , ever since they went through that door he'd got the feeling something was following them.

Martel nodded, freezing suddenly. There was a voice hissing through the air.
"Martel" the voice hissed, sounding dissapointed. "Why haven't you killed them? They are intruders. They must die!" Suddenly a man with dark, scaly skin, slits where his nose would be, greasy black hair, and piercing yellow eyes appeared.

"Jeesus!"Havoc raised his gun and willed to fire, but for the sake of the being knowing Martel, he stayed his finger in case he got her into any more trouble.
"Just give me the word and he'll have a hole in his head."He offered to her, his eyes scanning the 'man' in front of him.

"Oh, allow me to introduce myself" the man said, smiling slightly. "My name is Mytenak. Martel is my daughter. And I will not allow her to be corrupted by interlopers!".

Havoc blinked a few times "Interlopers?Sorry mate, but all we're doing is trying to get out of here. She's been kind enough to guide us outta here."His eyes narrowed, carefully watching every move he made.

"How did you get here?" Mytenak demanded, grabbing Jean by the throat and lifting him. He openned his mouth, revealing snake-like fangs.
"Let him go!" Martel told her father, recieving an icy glare in response.

Jean dropped his gun as a reflex, his hands shot to the cold hands around his throat, trying to pry him off.
"I'd...*cugh*..gladly tell ya..if ya let me down."His breathing became ragged as he tried to gulp as much air as possible, it was obvious that he wouldn't let go save on his own accord.

Mytenak nodded. "Very well. I am not an unreasonable man. Tell me your story" he told Jean, placing the man back on the ground. "But" his voice came out in a harsh whisper. "If you try to run, just remember, I am the Sovereign of Serpents. And you are in my domain".
As though responding to his voice, several snake-like creatures- the Cabriaons, and some creatures that looked like cobras, but when they openned their mouths, their fangs were longer than their bodies- slithered and walked to his feet.

Jean rubbed his throat gingerly, wincing slightl.
"Wouldn't dream of it. Got nowhere to go anyway."He slowly bent down to pick up his gun, placing it back in his holster, but deliberatly leaving the safety off. Just in case.
"Last week one of my superiors were forced to make a detour through here. He didn't turn up at Central. Fearing for the worst, me and a team of 6 others were sent to find him or at least what happened to him."He let out a sigh, the next bit was his least favorite"We wandered round for 13 hours without having seen a single form of life.Then we entered a hotel, having seen a military uniform on the door. The moment we stepped in zombies and shit started swarming us, i lost 2 men in that. The last one i shot yesterday evening."He ran a hand through his hair frustrated, they were his responsibility and he failed them.
"I ran into other people, a collegaue and some civilians today.We've already lost 2 or 3 of them and if we don't get out of here soon i'm gonna lose her too."He motioned to Hawkeye still being held up by Gilgamesh.
He hoped to god that this guy could help them out, even just by showing him the way out of this damn hospital.

Mytenak stared down at Riza. He then leaned down and bit into ther forehead. As he did, the wounds she had suffered from began to close. "You are already out of the hospital, Human" he explained to Jean, before picking up a small Cabriaon. He rubbed the creatures head and it made a purring sound, almost like a cat.
