This is why Shota should have died!
Kahlan was covered by a writhing mass of snakes. The ones he recognized were all poisonous. Big, fat
ones were wrapped around her legs, one coiled tightly around her waist, constricting; others were
wrapped around her arms, which hung at her sides.
Small snakes squiggled, tunneling through her thick hair, flicking their tongues out; others curled around
her neck; still more slithered down the front of her shirt, poking their heads out between the buttons. He
struggled to control his breathing as he approached her. His heart was pounding. Tears ran down
Kahlan's cheeks, and she shook the slightest bit.
"Be still," he said in a quiet voice. "I'll get them off."
"No!" she whispered back. Her eyes, wide with panic, met his. "If you touch them, or if I move, they will
bite me."
IF CARA HAD BEEN THERE - THEN SHOTA WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD ON IMPACT!
