-I've been training for over eight years with the witch of the jungle to replace her. Last year, she passed away, making me the new possessor of her title. The jungle is mine to control as well as magic as old as the world. I am, however, a just and fair witch...
-Then let me go...I have done nothing that isn't in my nature...
-No Kaa...you probably do not remember it, but nine years ago, you tried to eat me, but failed. An intelligent and sadistic creature such as you has no place in the jungle...
Recognizing the young she-cub from all that time nine years ago, Kaa was speechless. Surely she would do something terrible to avenge herself and her fellow villagers.
Shanti, wanting to do something poetic to the snake for justice, used all the hypnotic energy he used on her, sending it straight on her flat stomach, making the ring of color appear near her navel. Having been trained both as a wife and a witch, she knew how to belly-dance as well as how to hypnotize with magic. This way, both her witch side and her normal side would gain revenge against the evil snake. Swaying her hips from side to side, she chanted a small spell to make the snake very interested at her belly.
Seeing Shanti dancing in front of him, Kaa could not resist looking at her. The swaying motion of her beautiful and wide hips made him focus all of his attention on her stomach area. Concentrating on the alluring belly motion as well as the colors made him feel sleepy, relaxed and happy at the same time.
Shanti, witnessing that the snake took the bait and was following her dance, began making it a little more complex for the snake to follow, adding belly rolls, which accentuated the circle of colors near her belly button.
Still focusing heavily on the mesmerizing dance in front of him, Kaa's eyes began reflecting the very same colors he usually sent from his eyes. He was hypnotized and unaware of it, in a state of bliss and relaxation. The undulations of this beautiful tummy were bringing him great joy, as a small smile began forming on his face.
She did not have to push that more, as Kaa was getting under her power quite easily, as she had suspected he would. This snake had a great power but a weak will, as he did not have any rival to strengthen his mind against his tricks. The witch herself trained Shanti to be able to withstand those kinds of spells, knowing she would confront Kaa again one day. This day was now and she was winning her battle against the snake which caused her so much pain. Sending some ripples as well in her belly dance routine, she knew Kaa would not be able to resist further.
Kaa, content about this enchanting and, he would say, hypnotic dance, focused on the dance with all the effort and concentration he could muster. His spirals were getting faster and wilder while his smile grew to a goofy and wide state. He did not have long before he would lose his mind in a state of pure servitude, submission and bliss toward Shanti. As his mind surrendered, a *PING* sound was heard, signifying that Shanti had won, making Kaa her slave.
Shanti, sensing that she had won, stopped dancing. The serpent, beaten and hypnotized, was released from the vines, letting him stand before her. He was now hers utterly and completely. Knowing what to do to get this over with and to make sure Kaa would no longer be a threat, Shanti began chanting a complex spell, dancing along to make sure it would work. As the magic began gathering in her very body and soul, she released the spell on Kaa, transforming him in a different state. Getting hard as a rock, but shiny as a diamond, Kaa was now an emerald. Reducing in its shape, Kaa was getting smaller and smaller, his form being chipped away by the continued spell released by Shanti. Having finished her spell, Shanti grabbed from the ground what had remained of Kaa: a green spherical emerald, perfect for a belly gem. Putting it in her belly button, she admired it for some time. Today had been a good day, proving that she was a talented witch and defeating the menace of the jungle, conquering her ancient fear, being stronger for it. Going back to the village, she could not wait to tell Mowgli what happened...
