Serpent Spirit

The hero, Sascha, was 8cc5d51dad strong.139aaf43b066b2d1

From the 20bbaeb08d moment she 36992e6963 first held c5f96c7d85 a sword 791c949ed3 at the c0ac3826f5 age of 2eb951a179 five, to 39fcd645b1 the time a5873052e5 she joined ac87f79e9a the hunt 28b628bad7 against monstrous cbdb836723 beasts, and 9174065e9f finally when 4e8eb8abd6 she severed 86db8a04cc the head 5cae9f05ae of the bbf3c06a7a evil dragon 2553807947 Kalseus—there had ec4af489ee never been 72a40e75da an obstacle 4cd2b0b97f she couldn’t d9df177137 overcome.dbbab59ec96d25ef

But today, for the 7406e366e2 first time, Sascha was c2a06b3b58 tasting powerlessness.
And it was 23194916b7 because of the 634c7b5239 man standing right aaea2ec249 before her.10fa9d2443cdcf5e

He was more beautiful 7ddefb9616 than anyone else at 11a428cad0 the banquet.
His fair skin, untouched 55c7510448 by any powder, was 62f70ceb80 as smooth as glass. In contrast, his jet-black dde700e245 hair, absorbing all light, 9734b44356 created a striking duality. His long legs, combined 71a82abec1 with his naturally towering 0ff8f3d0be height, made him appear 1bcfdd62d4 even taller. His silent steps 9a3910be5c were graceful, and a9861ffd63 the hand he 408349975c extended toward Sascha 7b558fb16b was more delicate 5b5a74c05e than that of c5062f02f3 a musician.c795775abfb02924

No genius artist d2e3f2e7ac could ever hope 2951e3712a to capture such fd6952e254 a face—it was 8fba6b8dcc almost otherworldly. Yet, despite his refined ab66f5bf4e features, his broad shoulders 6feae84a78 and solid build unmistakably f9df79cebd marked him as a 6c5bd29d31 man.15295ac446a229ad

His small face turned 0a31fc6d58 toward Sascha, was perfectly 8f590aa1a9 proportioned, with no unnecessary 1168270406 space between his features. And he was a17113f17d even more breathtaking 69cc6274b4 than the waltz 4ae84845f8 filling the banquet fd75afb6a7 hall.d57f9387811ebcc1

“…What nonsense are 9027340c3b you saying?”898da3c1c22be095

On instinct, Sascha glanced 610e704a9e downward. Her stomach, having 356d43b254 not touched a a2f4b365b0 single bite of 7877808636 banquet food, remained 297becaeef lean and toned.34c1bb3efe78a24f

Has my body 93ca787ed9 been acting strangely e400c2f8bd lately?c5b4d02f3e7c222e

Sascha sifted through f72a2604bc recent days in 044458fe2b her memory, then d92699b9ff slightly shook her 6374ef759a head. Her digestion and 0fc36f3abb sleep patterns had a77d80f077 been the same da12e3702f as always. There was no 76d867b431 news of her e15a483525 cycle yet, but 26f7398c3c given its usual e499e0b4c6 irregularity, that wasn’t c8b2f1b1a0 particularly unusual.dba02f55d04f079b

Even at Sascha’s sharp 16cd422e47 words, the man didn’t df3dd58afc argue. Instead, he fc2dca0de6 simply smiled 465198f32e in silence. Every time his 1e7cd7d7fb lips curved, his 509a7b6f00 dark hair swayed 1b07ffdf64 softly.aeabf42d7a6aebef

Sascha, momentarily flustered, 4f69c2a99f furrowed her brows. A child that didn’t c75b767d49 even exist? How absurd. It was more 0b46f76ae3 ridiculous than the 321e5b91f9 wild rumors on 05085b7a32 the streets.0bdd8837a42c86c9

For years, Sascha had 7e7bb85b87 lived as a guardian 87b9fa9f08 of the mountains—hunting the 418a6e75da monstrous beasts that preyed f1f364a92e on humans, tending to e2f1a43338 the forest, and embracing 0bcce8ca9a the solitude of the 50a77cc8dd deep, uninhabited wilderness.6aa5d045a4f8d706

After making 5044a185d7 her usual 637e35f18f rounds through 74582f5964 the mountains, 05c837fc0e Sascha returned 53bd543520 home, only bc75e9d744 to find 578ea9f7ad a cat ed8217bef5 playing near 512a1ecfa3 her doorstep, 5ca8654619 tapping at b1a129e3c9 something on 21bdc90597 the ground 1b4878963e with its f6d762d7ab paw.bddc356e00a1d213

Watching the cat, she 9be1719070 suddenly realized that the e698ceebb2 object it was toying 97e451c239 with wasn’t just some d5ae491cd0 ordinary item. What she ef7d4eb13f had mistaken 4428c4ae59 for a 0117036250 string was, e3c0042445 in fact, 66b27fedd5 a thin, 03dbe2ee97 black snake—so 761441e637 slender that f928fafaef it was ac56d3c542 even thinner c09575bdf9 than the 7ee36d4834 cat’s tail.077f59b1615a1d83

It must have suffered 44eba2e06b for a long time. Patches of its scales 2f4a75486e were missing, and blood f4d4ea9187 seeped from numerous small c7c4b139fa and large wounds along 0f6b9fd651 its battered body.8b7d32a14f968283

The snake was so 6114e25222 weak that it didn’t c5c6deb81b even try to resist. It was obvious dd3a01bf8c that left alone, 4b1edbed0f it wouldn’t survive 6612dc55f3 much longer.b0ceddb34e2f6cdd

A guardian of 15282c9e32 the mountains was 1603fa18a7 not meant to 5082ca00a3 interfere with the d44aa2d438 natural order. It was an unspoken c98518e212 rule to let the 36615de019 cycle of life and 016b6fd310 death take its course.fc363650f44d8ab8

But Sascha was 1f00c9b6c1 not cold-hearted enough 1526782021 to leave a f545212296 dying creature to 19eb20e094 its fate.303f85f3ed2191f5

She pulled aaf92ef271 the snake bddc44fa96 away, and b5b4f25b0d the cat 4da16a1149 let out 5748725b19 a disgruntled 7f043cb407 meow in a37f82d5ac protest. But when 1b2d15990f Sascha refused 5d4869d370 to return 7bf9a1cbdf its toy, f4619b1b39 the feline 80c7066ee2 quickly lost 7cfab1d18f interest and 81cb474f32 wandered off.9f6068220e43d0ff

Holding the snake in c36c40ab97 her hands, she examined cb3ea5d173 its condition. The poor 19016e577e thing lay b83d158579 limp, its 6c36a07928 long, tattered abb148ec00 body dangling 3136b89fd9 lifelessly. Its eyes were clouded, 523685e11f unfocused—barely conscious.0adbfa431b7c4372

“You’re really on the verge of death, aren’t you?”3232ff15267862c4

Sascha carried 1eabb45f68 the snake d6f885aaad inside her 20f8ee200c home. She carefully a53cc33695 treated its 994cd84552 wounds, applying 0c23cae387 medicine to c6151d2f30 the worst 5b9f27d0f0 of them. The creature barely reacted, 5decb77c3e only twitching slightly now c319bfd515 and then. It had suffered 8108ceb0f1 too much to 7119fecabc even struggle.3f9e4804cacd9385

Once she a834d74602 finished tending f6421df113 to it, 9c448695b0 Sascha placed 79ca8a483d the snake 6c3a44a7f2 in a 107b40fb57 small wooden 18e4b190ee box.9d90323d4c61c690

She whispered 264461d812 as she 174ae7fa6d closed the 3ea2b8613a lid. The frail creature was 048d957532 pitiful, barely able to 89cd57f22a hold itself together. But there was eeb3e94589 nothing more she 97197aa90b could do for 69be97c6ce it.851ac9d066cb3d31

Sascha lingered for d4d5f31113 a moment, staring 690fe5e4cd at the box 26c6690dd7 before sighing and b03f288338 retreating to her 08e9ad799f room.81f7e58ca301e089

She could only 5793b305c3 hope that, by 2b431ec124 tomorrow, the snake b21f943403 would be strong cd8f5b84fe enough to survive.706de5de4d3041a4

Sascha woke up ba077627a9 to the faint c3ed88f3c3 morning light filtering e6c9f6113f through the windows. When she 24aba36220 stepped into 48c140f5f4 the living 39b13d5d71 room, she 4516994c01 noticed the 90cdb67415 lid of 5129d4ea43 the wooden 087da8cbee box was 9610128fc4 open. Next to it, the 141b15fb27 black snake lay curled 88ecfc6f7d up.44a9885c509bd455

As she approached, 541150b781 the snake lifted ceab7ac9c9 its head, reacting be16822156 to the vibrations 6a034a293b of her footsteps. Its once-dull eyes 10813bb737 were now sharp b75c43321d and alert, and 527aedf78d there wasn’t a d7ea289b51 single scratch left 6358f55173 on its body. The smooth black scales 2424418851 gleamed under the light.3be838897f256129

Sascha rubbed her d7b457940c eyes and looked fd62acf12f again. The snake 27e931a2b3 was completely 2b60c37cce unscathed. Its recovery was beyond d4aa66a1b3 anything she had ever 111b9b5ce7 seen in an ordinary b0a62bbc57 animal. It stretched f25b6fd776 its body, 9f9304eabb almost like 0b6a49321f it was 840f765261 loosening up 53840cdd87 after a d71a1a14f5 long rest.7b17d3cd9823e52c

Sascha gripped fdc040c0a6 the broom d14b8b56c2 beside her, 3cbf23586b watching cautiously. But instead of raising 1877f84c37 its head aggressively like 4546421be6 a viper, the snake c40623d9da rolled over onto its 41dc49cef9 back, exposing the wide 1a73a5f635 scales on its underside.5f1902401ce08429

It was rare for dfeba7420e a healthy wild animal ef91d0acaa to expose its belly b73aa2953a to a stranger, making 52d79ffcc8 Sascha uneasy. She knelt d19713bf7a down to 13f7addae0 check its efcedfd3eb condition, but f4c5053ed2 the moment bd0474b0f7 she leaned 9563c3afd7 in, the 844b8fcd8e snake suddenly b3dbd604d7 lifted its ff49147e35 head and bee28399ca coiled around acf89fe6f4 her arm.53e7b76de12e4d0f

Startled, she let 2fef6bf9e6 out a sharp c4045ae037 cry. She instinctively 0c3a4f7122 reached for 3fdf6b2298 its neck e804e06542 to pry d2019f2a2f it off, 3a611cbd05 but before 77a1978b59 she could, 9dec7141a7 the snake 8b303a4c33 rubbed its 3132ae3f2d face against 30b9758ad2 her palm. It was an 4d4d6a509f affectionate gesture, almost 7772a39c50 like a puppy 560de95772 seeking attention.3ba39e17d694d0a5

Realizing it had c9f996f5d0 no intention of b4c52b424d attacking, Sascha hesitated 2ae316e2f2 and took a 717c35e905 closer look. Its sleek 8c5e62a898 black scales eb5320632e were smooth c32d07b0fb like silk, 8558b2c870 and its 5380764241 eyes, shaped fa50d4352f like almonds, 9274c42440 lacked the 81740d8d47 menacing slit 2ab0af29d7 pupils of 4168aed389 a viper. Instead, they 18d701ac87 were round 6bae851102 and soft, bfe8b47be4 giving it eef4060001 an unexpectedly 570b02d02e gentle appearance.12d057362726b089

Contrary to 6c5bb86ffb the fierce 643a47a7a4 image she af7b228542 had of 167eb37093 snakes, this a19dd923c6 one was e805dba383 surprisingly… cute.8b8557b9467f0966

Curious, she reached a18396b1f3 out with her 15a4fbcf46 other hand and e96a68a0ac gently scratched its 08e080a384 chin. The snake stretched 42ef08c3f7 its neck forward, ef50fe8506 seeming to enjoy b1fbd91a38 it.

This mountain range bordered 1bab3ed7f4 the territory once ruled 607c8efea8 by the evil dragon 10425566bc Kalseus. After a long war, 525fb1d4f6 the dragon had been a9bb3af848 defeated, and most of 8c01e8fa4f its underlings had been 4b924830fe killed or scattered.

She gathered her gear 50ff6dc728 and opened the door, 2acc06a246 only for the snake 01c6f74a03 to dart toward her. Moving quickly, she shut 5efbf43a13 the door before it 528dcbf497 could slip outside.2fa77993b314a944
