Suddenly, the Great Snake collapsed with a huge BOOM!, no sign of movement coming from it, not even the drawing of breath. Cimon did not even need to check to know that it was downed. It was dead.
Cimon began stepping forward, Dreamspire in hand, as the sounding of grunting sounded from within the colossal serpent. "Goddamn it!"
Taken aback, Cimon gripped Dreamspire, already ready, in battle stance, as something sharp cut an arch-door shaped hole in the scales of the now dead great snake from the inside of its stomach. As it fell, Cimon released a heavy sigh of relief.
Covered in blood and guts and intestines and blood and gore, in all his glory, Blake Orpheus marched triumphantly, out of the carcass of the giant serpent, a greenish-yellowish monster core in hand, as he grinned mischievously, like a kid in a candy shop. "Honey! I'm home! Ya miss me!"
