Lina, Gourry, and Naga were minding their own business, travelling along while looking for their next adventure. But their fate became drastically altered. A bolt of blue lightning struck each of them, and they were gone.
======================
A mysterious place...
======================
The three of them reappeared, each one chained to a stone slab. Their stomachs were bared, arcane writing on each one.
Lina was the first to come to.
"Unnngh... What hit me?" Lina said. She looked around, and saw nothing save her friend Gourry and her rival Naga strapped down to tables, darkness all around them in every direction. She scowled.
"Hey! Wake up!" she snapped. Gourry and Naga both winced at the familiar sound of Lina's voice, and slowly came too.
"L-Lina?" Gourry said, "Where are we?"
Lina sighed, and shook her head. "I was hoping you knew. And what's SHE doing here?" she said, gesturing with her head to Naga.
Naga scowled. "I could ask you the same question, little girl. I was collecting treasure from a band of vandals when a bolt of lightning struck me. Since you're here too, I assume it wasn't from you," she said. She smirked, then added, "Although maaybe it was you, and you're a more inept sorceress than I already thought you were."
Lina snarled viciously. "I DIDN'T CAST WHATEVER IT WAS THAT BROUGHT US HERE!"
Gourry shook his head. "Ladies, please, calm down. There has to be an explination for this."
"THERE IS," thundered a voice. "I HAVE BROUGHT YOU ALL HERE FOR REVENGE."
The three of them traded nervous looks. "Who are you, sir?" Gourry said, looking around for the source of the voice.
"I AM THE SERPENT GOD WHOSE SERVANTS YOU DESTROYED," the voice thundered.
-Servants of a serpent god?- Lina thought, confused, -Doesn't ring any bells...-
Naga, however, remembered. "So you're the god those looneys were worshipping. The Cult of F'an F'aran."
Lina and Gourry traded shocked looks, remembering.
"INDEED. I AM F'AN F'ARAN," the voice said, a pair of red, glowing eyes appearing above the group. The three stared at him defiantly.
"We've faced down Ruby-Eye Shabranigdu and lived to exaggerate how easily we destroyed him. What makes you think you'll fare any better than he did?"
F'an chuckled. "BECAUSE UNLIKE THAT FOOL RUBY-EYE, I'M NOT GOING TO FIGHT YOU. I HAVE SOMETHING MUCH WORSE IN MIND FOR YOU THREE."
Lina, Naga, and Gourry all traded nervous looks. Finally, Naga laughed her trademark laugh, noting with satisfaction the eyes wincing.
"You think you scare us? We've overcome everything thrown at us, and we'll overcome this!"
A mouth appeared, a toothy, grinning mouth that made the three adventurers quiver with fear. "I RATHER DOUBT THAT. BECAUSE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS SIMPLY ENHANCE SOMETHING YOU THREE ALREADY HAVE TO UNIMAGINABLE PORTIONS, AND GRANT YOU AN ABILITY OF MINE. THAT ABILITY IS THE ABILITY TO SWALLOW ANYTHING WHOLE AND DIGEST IT, AND WHAT I'M GOING TO ENHANCE IS YOUR HUNGER!!!"
Blue lightning struck the three chained down adventurers. They screamed as the lightning flowed through their bodies, the curse taking effect as they were sent back. F'an laughed viciously.
"WE'LL SEE HOW WELL REGARDED THOSE THREE ARE ONCE THEY START CONSUMING EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN SIGHT!!!"
