As the year shifts to a new one, and the days begin to slowly elongate once more, you spend the start of it as most do, resting up after a long night of activities, sleeping off whatever substances you enjoyed the most. The day after would be of little consequence, most in your profession still working off the holiday season, leaving you to your own devices and allowing you little issue in reaching the end of your shift.

But as it would conclude, you’d find your mind and body wandering. Instead of walking out to your car, or walking back to your respective abode, you find yourself drifting through streets and alleys you’d never seen before. And yet, they also felt familiar, as if planted in your mind by some force outside yourself. A golden thread of sorts seemed to almost tug you along, and as your mind would grasp upon that notion, you’d come upon a particular Alleyway, dark and foreboding, back behind the sounds of a thrumbing, bustling nightclub.

Your mind would barely register such a recognition, before your eyes would drift forward and see a shifting mess of scales directly in front of it. Your gaze would lazily pull upward, and as it did, it would see what those mess of scales would lead to. A trio of snakes, two naga and one full anthro, sitting on the other two like a throne, her eyes shining and glistening in the night as you blinked to fully take in the scene before you.

The snake on the left cast a glow that shimmered across the rest present, a blue flame flickering between two blue horns atop her head. All three of their outfits seemed finely crafted, showing off their respective assets while also pulling tight to their forms, leaving just enough to the imagination but also showing off just how impressive each of them were. A tight bra-like adornment rested taut against the blue flamed naga’s chest, cupping her breasts firmly yet ‘accurately’. Golden filigree shined across her form, glistening off the wrist and arm bands that wrapped around a long open palmed glove. A sash draped down her form, pulling your gaze along its purple glittering surface, before your eyes would fall and drift up the golden striped tail of this white naga, flowing up the body of the other as your eyes took in the more showy outfit of her mirror.

This naga was almost entirely shades of black and dark purple, reflecting the white naga’s form quite nicely, while complementing the gold with her own filigree. She wore a golden collar tight around her neck, your eyes almost failing to catch it as they locked on her firmly squeezed bosom. The white scaled naga’s chest was nothing to scoff at, but this naga’s was practically billowing out from her body, held firmly to it by a single tight belt that wrapped pressingly firm around the center. It kept her modesty intake, but only just barely, as the golden buckle freed you from its large, inviting billowing curves and pulled you up to the golden ruby pressed in the center of her collar. Your eyes would drift up then, noting the almost night sky like cosmic clouds billowing out from her hood, as you drifted up to the golden ‘clips’ of sorts pressed against the contours of its curve. You’d follow them, the horned bits sparkling in the light of the blue flame, before your eyes would attempt to meet her gaze.

But her gaze would not point toward you, it would point toward ‘the center’. You’d notice the white scaled naga doing the same, her black eyes showing a blue piercing pupil, pointing your attention toward the snake sitting so casually in between them both. This snake was not unlike you in comparison to the massively large naga’s to either side of her. Her size seemed largely comparable, with her frame adorned by similar black and gold filigree as the two to either side of her. Her chest tightly cupped, her legs held firmly by black form fitting boots, and golden bands hung loosely around her wrists, while they sat tightly imbedded in rings lining up her hood. A single band wrapped around one of the two horns pointing out of her head, and as you noticed them, your eyes would lock on the golden gaze that had almost seemed to bring you here. And as it did, the snake in question would finally speak.

“Therrre we go, my first little precious plaything.” the snake hissed, your mind melting as she did so. Pathways opening up as all you saw was ‘processed’, each curve, each contour, all the fine cleavage and glittering displays of wealth, of power, of status. It all pulled you in that much more, and you’d find your eyes unable to drift any further from the golden gaze that now enraptured you.

“It’s come to my delighted attention that we are entering the year of the serpent, the year of those you see before you. And with its presence, my capabilities strengthen. To that end, you’ve been called to me, for whatever reason that may be. Desire, malleability, a mixture of both, it matters little.” She cooed, soft hisses flowing from her maw as she rested her chin upon her arm. Said arm resting on the white naga’s tail, as she snickered softly. The other Naga giggling, eyes glinting with anticipation as the one in the center continued. “You shall now pay your tithe to your betters. You shall give to those who now stand as the pinnacle of this new year. And as a reward, you shall be granted pleasures far beyond that which you thought possible.”

Her eyes would flash then, and yours would too, reflecting the golden light as you’d blink a few times. Your gaze would not be able to leave the three in front of you, but now it could freely move between them once again. And as it did, the two naga’s would finally turn to face you. Their eyes glinting in the light, both with differing forms of excitement, and yet both seeming to grin with a form of hunger. While the snake anthro in the middle simply continued to smile, content with wherever your gaze fell, as she hissed out her final ultimatum.

“So, now choose. Do you give your essence freely to that which covets it-” the red snake started, the white one smiling and licking her lips, blue flame flickering in the night as she gave a long hisss before the middle one continued, “-give yourself fully to those that deserve you-” her words dripped from her like ichor, as the other naga now leaned forward slightly, eyes beaming with anticipation as her mouth opened, a slight bit of watering seeming to come from it as her fangs glinted in the light of the flame, “-or do you ‘resist’, try and fight against your betters, and seek to be ‘taught a proper lesson’ in humility”. And with that final statement, your gaze would rest back on the snake in the center, her eyes glinting as she gave a smile. Her own fangs sparkled, but her expression stayed the same. A soft rattle able to be heard, as her tail poked out from behind the two present.

And so, the ultimatum was given, now leaving it up to you. Which of the three options seem the most agreeable? Which of the ones do you resist? Or does your mind suddenly question your purpose here, and you feel the need to run from these predators. Could you truly get far? Would it be better to submit? The choice is yours, but do try to not keep them waiting. Or they might just end up choosing for you…

I intended to get this out yesterday, but ended up 'having fun with friends' instead, how dare I >//>; fhehe. But yes! Was good anyway as the 'inspiration' hit like a lightning bolt for this. Originally I was thinking of maybe making it a continuation of this, but as I thought about it I liked the idea more of the 'audience participation' stories I like to do. And I still think it fit the theme perfectly while being able to make it make sense that it's a 'day late' >//>; fheeheh.

But yeah! Been sitting on this absolute beauty by  Sinnabelle for a decccent bit now, didn't entirely know what to do with it, but once again, with it becoming the year of the serpent, offering tithe to the serpent queens just sounded right :3c fheehe. So I got this all written up and rather enjoy it! ; v ; will see if I can keep this writing train going to at least 'finish out this week', that will make me happy if so xD but yeah! I hope you enjoy your new choice, and as stated, I just beyond adore this image to bits ; v ; she did SO good with the 'full snake' interpretation of these three lovely serpents, and  themostrealdeal 's Neb turned out looking SO friggen good ; v ; fhehe I adore this to bits and love all the outfits, think they all just look fantastic and am beyond happy with the result! The lighting here is just so cool too, having it all come from Ankhata's flame is just such a nice touch and I love ittt ; v ; fehehe.
