The Legend begins...

Escaping from immediate death, from a squadron of soldiers, I ran with all the stamina I had left, a mythical beast prophesized by the Greek civilization appeared in front of me as I fled away from the unit. I heard the screams and cries of the soldiers as my breathing grew heavier and heavier. My hands were shaking and sweating; I felt like collapsing. The screams faded out, and silence struck me as I realized they had died. I heard large, slimy slithers, presumably from the beast. It lowered its five heads and made me pat each one. The beast signalled me to get on its head, and as I did, it carried me to its domain, where the civilization would start.

Soon after, the snake - now named the 'Gos Gos', became the epitome of our civilization, the core of our power. The civilians in the civilization - who too were in danger, which the Gos Gos saved - were skilled workers, in which, were blacksmiths and mainly swordsmiths. This allowed the village to prosper.

Everything went well, we even had made multiple connections and trade routes with other villages, and it became known as the village of swordsmiths, with the leader wielding a unique blade which had an engravement similar to a snake, and the blade being malleable and able to bend, yet it was sharp and would not break. It was forged like a spear, with two snakes curling up the handle and travelling up to the blade, where they separated and made the handguard.
