The Ark

"I DID IT!" Tiffany excitedly said in her joyful tone.

Right as Tiffany said that, the legendary creature, the Basilisk, abruptly stopped in its track. It then lowered its head until it laid on the stone bridge. On the other hand, Alex only stood there with Stroke brandished in front of him, behind the barrier he casted, clearly surprised by the sudden turnaround. 

Tiffany, who now had returned back to her normal condition, stepped closer to the creature, which evidently made Alex anxious, apparent from his pale expression and rising heartbeat. However, to much everyone's surprise, except Cerri, the previously ferocious snake had suddenly turned into a docile creature. 

It only laid there frozen still, while being patted on the head by the little girl. Heck, Alex was sure he could even hear a faint, happy, hissing voice from the creature.
