Dr. Novich's heart dripped from King Venomous’ palm: Excerpt from T.A.L. Volume One: The Apocalyptic Genesis

   Emperor Saintus witnessed the unearthly terror. In his heart of hearts, he knew they came in their Godly disguises only to do the Devil’s work.
            The guardsman taken hostage shouted, “There he is! That’s the emperor!”
            The evident leader of the armored snakes aggressively propelled the demand-fulfilling guardsman into the wall, but never broke eye contact with Emperor Saintus.
            Before advancing, Lieutenant Vyper noticed blood oozing from the deep wound left upon General Calligaster’s shoulder. He said with a smirk, “I cannot believe you allowed a human to so much as touch you, Calligaster!”
            Nothing excited him more than the shed of blood even if it were his own. General Calligaster admired how it embellished his muscularity and gravitated to the ivory floor.
            “The blood I shed on this land marks the territory in which I have laid my warpath!”
Fetal positioned against the wall; it must’ve been all in the guardsman’s head when Emperor Saintus cried for him to run, because those words never left his mouth. The Emperor sweated bullets for the unlikely accomplice as General Calligaster raised a foot to his head.
            “Die, human!”
            He could do nothing but watch the giant snake unleash his frustration against the human race when he stomped that poor soul’s skull in. A dismayed Emperor Saintus raced back into the medical ward and held as tight as he could his wife and newborn daughter.
            Dr. Novich wondered what had the Emperor so spooked. He peaked outside.
            “Doctor, get away from the door!” he shouted from across the gurney.
            The majestic rattlesnake’s grimace was the doctor’s last sight. With fingertips sharp as needles, King Venomous punctured his scrawny chest. Blood was spouted all over.
Empress Leona screamed, “This isn’t real! This can’t be happening!”
            Between long, sharp fangs lashed a split-tongue when the armored monstrosity proceeded to tear through the Doctor’s chest. All anyone saw was this bloodied, black, and scaly arm exited from the spinal column. In an outrage, he threw a lifeless Dr. Novich into a surgical table.
            The terrified family stayed huddled together on the gurney as they were approached by the murderous reptilian triune. Empress Leona could only pray that her husband’s protective embrace was enough to keep them safe, but God mustn’t have been listening that day. 
            Dr. Novich's heart dripped from King Venomous’ palm. The King raised the dead muscle to their horror-drenched faces and wrung it like an over-absorbent sponge.

            “I come in peace!”
