Five tasks, realizing the truth

Completely submerged under water, Anon and Seth both sat as unmoving statues in meditative postures. Atop the lake's bed, neither seemed to be part of the living world. Interestingly enough, serpentine creatures with glowing bodies swam past, near, and even circled them without any aggression towards these two human-like figures. 

Most notably, their palms, which rested on their knees, were open and faced upwards, each holding fist-sized beads with striking beauty. These beads resembled delicate, elongated buds with a shimmering and electric, crystal blue hue to them.

The outer petals were smooth and glossy, almost translucent, allowing soft, flickering lights to emanate from within, reminiscent of lightning flashes. They were called Lightning Flower Buds, and these mystic treasures were what gave birth to Lightning Snakes.

In fact, there were several more such buds in the duo's nearby vicinity.
