The hiss reached her, but not in enough time. Weariness had kept her eyes from opening - let the snake coil around the tree. If it climbed to the nest she would have an easy meal delivered right to her front door.

But it was no snake, at least not in the traditional sense, that made the strike. In her half-awake state the harpy had expected something smaller than her, something that she could catch in a single talon and break with little effort. Even the large pythons were no match for her when she was in a rage, when she was protecting her children.

This was not a python, not a common snake. It was huge, and its fangs struck her with more force than her hubris had allowed her to consider possible. A scream erupted from her hideous face when she felt them, those teeth, sink into the fleshy folds where her wings attached to her shoulders. Those long fangs tore at the muscles before they retracted. Snakes don't bite, they strike, and she would not allow another.

Her mind was wild with anger, it blinded her to all but one thing: she must protect her eggs. This oaf of a snake, this imbecile that dared to interrupt her, could not get them. She was the only mythical creature allowed in this part, she was the predator of rabbits and the horse-kinda like. If only the eggs had hatched already, were older, their trio would be one none could contend with. She would feast on the stringy meat of a snake while her children feasted on his eyeballs and tongue. A glorious triumph, but one she would not have today. Her children were still eggs and she was on her own, caught off guard.

Great wings beat at the air as she tried to regain control of the situation, but she could not rise more than a couple feet because of the wound. Blood was splattered across her breasts and feathers making her even more hideous than before. The tree had been strained under the added weight, the old wood threatening to break. Another scream erupted as she ignored the pain to launch herself at the offending creature, using claw and wings to ward him off. She couldn't pick this snake up as she had the last one but she could rip into his flesh, could blind him.
