Maia felt a similar sentiment to Birch's. Why was every creature in this forest so angry?
The serpent, still half coiled around a tree branch, pulled itself back into the treetops and disappeared almost instantly. Maia tried her best to keep up with it, but between the creature's own camouflage and the blinding spots of sunlight filtering through the canopy she'd lost track of it.
Rather than stick around and wait for it to land another sneak attack, Maia decided to move away from the last spot she'd seen it. Maybe if they continued on towards the edge of the woods they could avoid this conflict all together.
Unfortunately, the serpent had different plans.
It had dropped to the ground and slithered its way around the pair of them. And Birch, so wrapped up in hair and nerves, had stopped listening for it. So, when Maia unknowingly approached the beast it went in for another bite.
Again caught off guard, Maia couldn't react in time. The serpent's teeth clamped down on her leg and no swift maneuvering could dislodge it. A stomp on its tail, however, did the trick.

Maia was starting to struggle. This serpent was a much more formidable foe than the obnoxious rabbit. Instincts screamed at her to turn tail and run. She was losing this fight and, honestly, this snake was probably big enough to eat her...
But honor and stubbornness refused to let her give up now. And, thankfully, as the snake was taking time to creep back up into the trees, Maia remembered something.
"Birch, are you still with me? I need your help." Even if Maia could crane her neck around enough to look for the little mouse, she wouldn't have seen Birch. She was thoroughly tangled up in Maia's mane, shivering in fear at the sounds of the fight. But she managed a tiny squeak in response to Maia's request.
"In the bag with the mushrooms is a bottle the Forgemaster gave me. Can you grab it and uncork it for me?" Maia watched the serpent closely as it slunk through the treetops, clearly feeling its own injuries. "I'll keep you safe, I promise."
"O-Okay..." Birch very cautiously untangled herself from the nest of hair she'd made and crept down to the bag hanging from Maia's neck. The sad sight of what had once been their meager collection of mushrooms awaited her. And the potion Maia needed. Heaving it out of the bag and up to the safety of Maia's back, Birch popped the cork off with a bit of effort. "Here!"
Eyes still locked on the serpent, Maia reached around and grabbed the top of the bottle with her mouth, downing the contents with a flick of her head. Hopefully this did what the Forgemaster said it would. Birch scrambled back into her hiding spot.
Already feeling a renewed rush of energy, Maia moved in closer to the serpent. It was time to end this. Hopefully.
With the mare back in range, the serpent made another strike. As refreshed as she felt, the potion hadn't quite taken effect yet and the snake left another mark on her hide.

To ensure its hold on its prey, the serpent sunk its teeth deep into Maia's neck as it continued to coil around her. There wasn't much she could do in this situation, but panic and instinct kicked in. She returned the snake's bite with one of her own, chomping down on whatever part of its body she could manage in her state.
Curled up in a frozen ball of fear, Birch could do little more than slowly climb further and further up Maia's mane as the snake's body crept closer and closer to her with each coil. But the sound of Maia's desperate gasps for air stirred some small amount of courage in her. She couldn't just let her new companion be over come by this monster!
Remembering a small pouch inside the bag around Maia's neck- which previous snooping told her held some sort of powder -she made the decision to go for it. Taking a very deep breath, Birch scampered from her spot and darted down the serpent's body- which, while terrifying, was quite safe considering the snake's mouth was busy biting Maia -and squeezed into the bag. She had no clue what this powder was, but nothing was worse than getting small particles in your eye, right? It was all she had to work with right now.
With another quick burst of courage, Birch shot out of the bag- pouch in paw -up Maia's neck, and right up next to the serpent's face. She covered her eyes and dumped the entire bag into the snake's eyes, then hightailed it back into her safe space.
The snake released its bite on Maia immediately and it's grip around her neck loosen. This gave the mare enough leverage to pull the snake almost completely off of her.
