37 Chapter 37 War with the Josagn (1/2)
His legs skittered against the white scales as Dustin leaped to the back of the snake.It reared back, in preparation to bite.Timing it just right, he jumped into the air as it went to strike, and then started running along its back, towards the head.It struck at him several times, and each time, he jumped so that it would miss.Just as it went to strike again, he leaped high into the air, and landed against its hood, clinging with the claws at the end of each foot.
As the snake rushed at the ground, probably to crush him, or rub him off, he opened his maw and leaned forward.Getting as close to its eye as he could, he jabbed at the scale with all of his tongues.They broke through, breaking all of their venom filled needles.
The ground rushed up at him, and he sprung away from the head as hard as he could, grabbing the trunk of a nearby tree, and vaulting further away.
”Remove the scales over Olivia,” he said, dodging the spasming coils.

”What the hell!” she screamed as soon as the first scales released her.
”What?” he asked innocently, as he started running along the ground again.
”You just leapt at that things head, like the four-foot fangs weren't anything to worry about!”
”They weren't,” he said, with a shrug.
Her mouth just hung open for a moment, and he chuckled.She was speechless until he ran past the giant turtle.It had gotten too close to a tentacle tree, and was in the process of being devoured.
”Was that tree really eating a giant tortoise?”
”Yep.”
”Okay, I think I'm officially alright with leaving this planet.This place is messed up.”
”So, what do you think about having some kids?” he asked, as he jumped over several trees that had fallen at some point.
”Never wanted any.I was sterilized before heading out to be an alien advisor.”
”What?” he asked, feeling the pit of his stomach drop.No kids?Sterilized?Who the hell WANTS to be sterilized??
”It's standard practice before heading to an alien home world, to ensure that there aren't any mishaps.”
”Mishaps?” His voice was a little strained.Since when was having kids a mishap?
”Well, the Ogifgar are known for raping every species that comes to their planet, just for the interesting half breeds that occur.Since them, every person who becomes an alien advisor has to go through the sterilization process to ensure no mishaps.”
