Prologue~

A soft and long hissing was heard from a deep cave in the forest, one that scared any creatures that passed by it. The monstrous creature who hissed was known as Arthur Kirkland, a half man-half snake who lived alone in the deep forest. He was a carnivorous creature who made it to the deep cold forest of Siberia on a ship from his home island of England. He was so cold right now, since it was the early weeks of spring and the snow was still at the mouth of his cave. Hunger growled from his stomach, since he had been forced to lie in his cave for many months with his egg; which he assumed had died because of the unforgiving cold weather. Temptation to eat the unborn hatchling filled him, even though he had been waiting and caring for this fetus for so long.

Arthur moved around to try to get comfortable in his neatly made nest, which he made from stolen clothes, leaves, and hay. Arthur had only one blanket for him and his egg, and he knew that this small warmth could not helping either of them. Arthur felt like a complete moron in the cold, wishing he had left to go south for the winter; but he had no way of transferring the egg safely. Arthur looked at his egg and sighed, feeling as if his efforts for hatching this egg was a fail and was a lost hope. He was now sadly the last of his species, and when was able to make an egg so that he could reproduce with this child and repopulate their species. Arthur felt a few tears fall from his dead emerald green eyes, wishing his unborn mate had hatched in fall instead of still remaining inside the shell. Arthur was surely becoming hopeless as seconds passed by, thinking this was the end of his mysterious species. Arthur started to close his heavy eyes, feeling a cold sleep start to take over his abused body and force it into a deep slumber.

Arthur did not know how long he slept, but he was awoken by something poking him and moving against his tail. The sudden pinch made Arthur snap his eyes open and look at whatever creature had to nerves to dare bother a sleeping naga. To his surprise he saw the endless white snow had melted, the warmth of summer filled his cave, and his egg was moving back and forth slowly. Arthur jumped in excitement and then he pressed his clawed hands on the egg, feeling the baby inside of it wiggling and trying to escape its cage.

"Come now, little one, you have kept me waiting long enough," Arthur hissed softly with a smile on his lips, watching as the creature inside began to try and become free. Arthur began to become too impatient to wait a day for the baby to exit the egg, but he knew it could possibly damage the baby. Arthur saw the side of the egg slowly start to crack, seeing the outline of the creature's small hands trying to break away the thin shell.

"You can do it, poppet," Arthur said, twisting his long green tail around the egg. Arthur watched his beloved and precious egg carefully, feeling the baby's warmth radiating through the thin eggshell and the movements from inside the egg. Arthur made a soft hissing sound that did not sound too threatening, feeling his happiness over take the pain of months of hunger.

"Poppet…come now, love," Arthur whispered before his forked tongue started sticking out of his mouth, resting on his pale lips. Suddenly Arthur heard the eggshell cracking, making the naga male smile because he knew the clock was ticking until the child would be born.

Arthur watched the egg closely, hearing the cracking noises become more and more frequent as the baby inside tried harder to enter the world. The naga felt his heart soar, gently shifting the egg closer so he could be close to the child as he was born. Arthur had never felt so happy in his life before, even being in the icy land of Siberia could not dampen this event.

"You can make it, poppet... Show me how strong you are," he whispered to the egg, hoping the child would soon show his face. Arthur was tired of waiting and hoping. His mate was so close, making his heart beat erratically. Crooning over the egg that had consumed so much of Arthur's life and attention, the naga moved the blanket, getting ready to wrap the child in it once he was born.

In the crack of the egg, soon a small pale hand was starting to push away some of the shells, though he could not get most of it. Arthur felt the brushing of a slimy hand grabbing hold of one of his scales before it retreated back into the shell. Arthur could hear a pained whimpering from the small creature inside, which was followed by a soft hissing noise.

"Shh, it's okay, poppet... Don't hide," Arthur whispered, placing a hand on the egg and rubbing it gently. He didn't want to scare the poor child. The naga hummed softly, curling around the egg and trying to coax the small child out. "You've been hiding for too long, love..."

Arthur frowned as he waited for the child to feel more comfortable. He knew the small creature would not come out unless it felt safe. The naga tried whispering, cooing gently and making his voice as nonthreatening as possible. "Come now, poppet. Do you not want to see the world?"

The small hand came back out and was followed by another, both starting to try and pull apart the shell without much progress. Arthur could feel the child start to use his head to ram against the shell, followed by a loud squeal of pain when he hit his soft head against the shell hard enough that he made contact with Arthur's tail. The small creature whimpered, his small blue tail still coiled inside of the broken egg. The infant hissed softly, his small hands softly digging into Arthur's scales.

Arthur chuckled softly, using his other hands to carefully break the shell a little more. He made it easier for the small infant to break out himself, moving his hand to touch the small hands on his tail. "You can do it, poppet. Show me how strong you are," he encouraged. The naga watched the other with a smile, finding it cute how hard he tried.

The baby naga tried for a few seconds before he released a loud cry to show his discomfort. He whipped his tail out of the shell and ended up wrapping it around Arthur's wrist, though the hold was weak.

Arthur grew worried at the weak hold, quickly breaking the shell enough for Arthur to remove the infant safely from the egg. The naga tossed the shell behind him, holding the baby naga in his arms and wrapping the blanket around him, cleaning him off. He was so small and looked so upset. "Shh, it's okay poppet. I'm here now, love."

Arthur continued holding the infant, rocking him gently and trying to calm him down. The older naga sighed when he realized the baby would soon be hungry. Arthur would have to find something the child would eat.

The child wiggled and hissed softly before he relaxed and cuddled into the warm blanket Arthur had given him. The infant snake stopped releasing an angry hiss and started giving out more of a purr, showing his happiness at being surrounded by the warm fuzzy fabric. The smaller naga began to make more human-like noises, sounding much like a baby.

Arthur hissed softly, curling up in his nest with the infant in his arms. The naga looked down at the small creature in his hold, looking thoughtful. "Hmm, you need a name, poppet... Will you help me?" Arthur chuckled as the infant appeared more responsive and active. "Well, lets try some names..."

The infant naga looked at Arthur like the man said nothing but gibberish, and soon his eyes turned from the gray glazed newborn look to his natural eye color, a softly captivating sapphire blue. The small naga looked at Arthur questionably, making soft bubbling sounds and messing with his hands as if he has never seen them before.

Arthur smiled softly as the little child started to play with his hands, looking at them curiously. The naga found it adorable and leaned down, kissing the infant's head.

"Hmm, what do you think of 'Alfred', poppet? A strong name for sure a little fighter such as yourself," Arthur closed his eyes, holding back a yawn unsuccessfully. The older naga was tired.

"Why don't we sleep, love?" Arthur rearranged the infant as he laid down, watching the child as he got comfortable. "We have a big day tomorrow. There is so much you need to learn..." Another soft kiss was placed of the child's head as Arthur fought to stay awake. He managed to stay up until he made sure the other had fallen asleep.
