After his untimely death, the man named Alex finds himself reincarnated as a snake in a different world with a strange system called "The Evolution System"

Alex slowly finds out the mystery of the system from the lowly beginnings as a snake.

Long Aotian nuzzled deeper into the silly beast's neck. 'Eh, what is this?' he thought when he noticed something shiny hanging around his neck. His golden scale was shimmering and shining on the silly beast's pale chest.
 
"What," he hissed, moving the scale a little with his nostrils. "Oh little son, this is your scale. You were so downcast because you lost it right, so I made it into a chain. And when we meet Yukiya, she can definitely fix it on you," the silly beast cheerfully said.
 
'You don't have to lie to me. I know how crazy you are about me,' he thought as he nuzzled closer.
 
"Hahah, that tickles little son," the silly beast laughed and bringing his shoulders up. 'Little son? Do you still think you are my daddy? After all that happened between us,' the little enraged dragon slapped his shoulders with his tail.
 
"Not little sonnn" he hissed with difficulty. "Why can't I call you that, you are my little son after all," the silly beast laughed. "Not LITTLE SON" he insistently said, slapping the silly beast again.
 
"Ah okay, okay, then what should I call you?" Xia che said slightly, patting the little snake. "Longggg..." the little snake hissed, nudging his face.
 
He just laughed out loud at this. "Baby son, you are a snake, not a dragon. Okay," he said lightly caressing its little head. The little snake turned and bit his fingers and gently sucked it. Xia che tried pulling it out, but the little snake sucked harder. He started to feel his blood pooling down at his nether regions.
 
"Little son stop," he whined but the little snake sucked with more force. He could even feel the soft cavern of the snake's mouth. "Son, stop it, mn," he moaned pulling his hands further. But the snake just followed behind, sucking his finger.
 
Long Aotian sucked the silly beast's offending fingers even harder. 'Shit, why does he taste so good?' he thought as he closed his eyes and sucked with relish. He heard the silly beast moan a little, and it made him work even harder. 'See how you come undone in my hands, no my mouth,' the little dragon thought with pride in his eyes.
 
The silly beast held his mouth open with his other hand and freed his finger. "Son, I know you are hungry but you can't eat me ah. I am not edible! Got it" he repeated, pulling the little snake off of his neck.
 
"Let me get dressed then we can go to the town and enjoy our day. I heard there is going to be a night market two streets away. Oww, they have the tastiest food," the silly beast chatted away, placing him on the bed.
 
"Do you like spicy food little son..," Silly beast started but was interrupted but a snarling little dragon, "Longgg" Long Aotian hissed. "Okay baby long, I heard the Hunan spicy beef is the specialty of River pavilion. We should definitely try that," the crayfish continued.
 
'Baby Long? I'm not a baby,' an enraged little dragon hissed but did not correct the silly beast. 'It does sound nice,' he thought with a heated face.
 
"There will also be lots of crowds nearby the temples, so we can see that as well," the silly beast muttered and started removing his towel. Ass jiggling, he ran over to the small bag he was carrying and found an Azure shirt.
 
'This guy, where is his modesty ah?' Long Aotian thought with his scales raised. A small drop of blood dripped from his nose, when he saw the silly beast's ass. 'Oh, what a view?' he thought swaying his tail.
 
"Ah, found it," Xia che said out loud, lifting his white pants up. He wiggled into his pants and proceeded to put on his shirt. "Let's go baby Long," he cheerfully called running back to the bed.
 
"Little son, you are bleeding again!" he exclaimed holding his baby in his palm. "We should see a beast healer, but this town does not have one ah," he said with his eyebrows frowned.
 
"Noo Healer, No," the baby snake hissed and turned his butt towards him. "Little snake, you have to see the healer if you are sick. Look at you ah, you bleed from your nose at least twice a day," Xia che Tried convincing his little baby.
 
"Nooo," the little snake hissed and bit his nose. "Don't do that baby Long, let go of daddy please" he pleaded looking cross-eyed at the naughty snake.
 
"Here look at this; it's a scarf that you can slither inside. Then I can carry you around on my neck. And look look, I even have a veil. I can wear that when you want to eat, then no one will see you eating," he kept chatting, looking cross-eyed at the baby snake.
 
After a long time of pleading and convincing, the little snake let go of his nose. For some weird reason, his son loves biting and sucking at him today. This made him assume that he was just a little hungry. So they both entered the foyer of the inn, and ordered some light snack to fill their tummy.
 
'Ah, the weird man is back' the inn keeper thought as he looked at the veiled Xia che. "Sir, we would like some refreshments here" the man called waving in the air. "Yes sir," he answered and served him the refreshments.
 
"Sir, it is very hot outside, why... why are you wearing a woollen scarf." The inn keeper hesitantly asked.
 
"Oh that, I have a weak body so I feel cold even in the sun, see," he said shivering. "Oh than take care of your health sir," the inn keeper said with sweat dripping down his forehead.
 
'Shit, he is a yin constitute' he concluded in his heart and ran as far away from the strange man as possible. "Dad, why are you running away like that?" his son questioned holding his forearm.
 
"Son, let's leave now. I think that man is a cursed one. I saw him talking alone day before yesterday and now he said that the sun make him cold ah." The man hurriedly said to his son.
 
"But what does that even mean dad? I don't understand?" his silly son questioned with a quizzical look.
 
"You silly son, that means that guy can see ghosts," he said hitting his sons dumb head.

Xia Che was a crayfish monster that cultivated to become a human, but from then on he was the epitome of unlucky. 

But because he was friends with a Koi fish, he was able to escape his predicament. 

One fine day the Koi fish disappeared and our silly little crayfish lost his luck. He was all alone for many years until an ugly snake landed on his lap. The snake turned out to have exponential luck.

Xia che: “Let me pet you today as well little worm. I want to trip on a pot of gold.” He rubbed the coarse scales of the snake.

Long Aotian: ‘How dare you try to pet this majestic dragon,’ he bit his offending hands and squirmed.

Xia che: “Stop squirming little worm, I might cook you for dinner instead. I heard humans say that snakes are good for your liver.”

Long Aotian: “You....You”

The little ugly snake changed into a majestic dragon and pushed the crayfish down. He ate till his heart’s content.

As the twins ran in the forest, the castle was in utter chaos. Once the butler spread the fake news about the twin's deaths, Rose and Cayden immediately ordered the servants to find them in the room they allegedly died in.

But all they found was a pile of blood and bloody footprints heading out the window. The servants went out to look for the twins in the surrounding forest. Only to find a fake burial planted by the twins earlier.

Assuming it was Asura's dead body, Cayden ordered the servants to dig her body out, only to be stopped by Rose.

"Cayden, leave the body there, I do not want to see my sister's body, please," she spoke earnestly.

As Cayden was pitying her, she was secretly sneering, 'I do not want to see that disgusting body at all.'

Then a satisfying smirk appeared on her face. 'Look, sister, I'm with your husband now. Not only do I get to be with him, but I also get your fortune, such a great deal.'

As they decided to leave the forest due to Rose's pleading, the twins reached the end of the forest.

As they stood side by side, the twins held hands looking at the vast sunset. Asrael turned to his sister, "Sis, what do we do now?"

Shining a smile at her brother, she says, "We get to toy with everyone whenever we want now."

Understanding what she meant, Asrael smiles back at her. After a few minutes of discussing, they decided to go to the nearest town called Hope Town.

The game they decided to play, was a game called the cage game. They created it from the town's name. They have to capture targets and place them in a cage. The victims will do various trials to gain their fake freedom.

The winner will become the twin's pet for a day. But first, the twins had to decide how they will the people in.

As they sat on a large rock at the bottom of a waterfall. A large beautiful black snake appeared from the water. The snake was 10 yards in length and 2 feets width.

As it swayed its body up and hissed, the twins did not react. Still pondering about their plan. Seeing as how they are not reacting, the snake begins to wrap its body around the twins.

But before it could close in, Asura turned to the snake with a stern expression. "Can you Sh*t up? I can't think with all that d*mn hissing you're making in my ears."

Seeing her cruel eyes, the snake begins to shiver from fear. Seeing the snake's cowardly state, Asrael began to take pity on him.

"Sister, don't be so cruel. Maybe the baby snake was just hungry, isn't that right, baby snake?"

It starts to nod its head quickly until it realizes
what the boy just said, 'Baby snake? I'm the longest snake on this mountain, how am I a baby snake?'

"Well, if he is so hungry, why doesn't he just leave so I can think of our trap plan," answers Asura. After she said that, her eyebrows rose and her eyes widen with excitement. "How about we use this tiny snake to capture our targets, hehe I just thought of a great idea right. brother?"

Feeling a shiver run down its body. The snake begins to regret trying to eat these kids.

Nodding his head in agreement, "Yes sister, we can use this snake to have some fun. Hey snake, can you tell us if you are a boy or a girl?"

The snake was offended, but could not do anything against these powerful children. "Hisss."

"Right, forgot you were of the lower race, sis, do you know what he said?"

Shaking her head, "Brother, you just said it, it's a boy. We are twins and you still can't remember?"

"Sorry sis, that was a brain fart moment, hehe."

Before the snake could slither away, Asura grabbed his tail, "Come on, you are going to capture the strongest people in Hope town. Then bring them back into the cave you see over there. got it, Burnt Toast?"

With a confused look, Asrael asked her, "Why Burnt Toast? Why not Shadow? it's so much cooler."

As they debated on the snake's name, they just decided to stick with Shadow. As the night came through, many people were kidnapped by an unknown organization... or so they thought.

Two evil twins travel the world creating havoc just to have fun. Not stopping until they get bored of their games. Together Asura and Asrael Bloodweld, adventure the places they have once conquered to have a playdate with their victims.

Life really is diverse in many ways. Surprises happen in just a few blinks of an eye. A baby boy was born with a twin snake. 

In a village far from the civilized town, lives a couple who loves the natural untouched peel of nature. They live in contentment away from the chaotic city. One day, Tina complained about her stomach, something different away from normal. The husband, Yul, appeased Tina telling her that it is just an indigestion. Tina ignored the discomfort in her. After three months, they noticed that Tina's belly is getting fat and swollen this time. Ah, you are pregnant my dear wife, uttered Yul. 

On the nineth month, Tina was desparately paining in labor. Yul managed to help Tina delivered the baby without the help of anyone. "It's a baby boy Tina", "a healthy baby boy". Tina was silent. "Something is moving, just right there in my bottom". Yul, upon checking was shocked. It was a baby snake. It crawled toward the corner of the house and disappeared.

The baby boy is now six. Dark, masculine and of flat nose. Nilo as they call him. Nilo frequently play in the backyard. "Inaaay" he frantically called his mother. His mother Tina rushed towards her son who was motioning a direction. It was a big snake calmly resting on a few weeds then left a few minutes towards the hill. 

Nilo at fifteen already nice hunter. He hunts for their living. They live in bounty of natural foods. He never fail in hunting as if he is blessed by fairies. One day while hunting, Nilo was attacked by a wild deer. A huge deer it was. Nilo was helpless for he fell in a ditch. He saw a swift thing that snatch the deer, rolled near him and see closer where the deer was outsmarted by the snake. Deer's bones were broken out of the grip of the huge mighty body of the snake.

Civilization has no boundary. People of the civilized society penetrated the inner forest for mining and timber.

"Huge snake is butchered beside the hill, it's now dead". Shouted one of the working men. 

"Nilooo, Niloo, wake-up" Tina summoned the air..Nilo is now dead, too.

Ruyan Liu used her fingers to tease the baby, making her laugh.
The baby really liked to smile, revealing the two dimples on her cheeks. She was cute, charming, and pretty when she smiled.
She had four canine teeth in her mouth. They were white, thin, and long, accentuating her cuteness.
"Mommy!" The baby opened her mouth and called for her mommy.
Even though her voice was muffled and she was not pronouncing the word clearly, it made Ruyan Liu very happy. Her charming face filled with excitement, her long lashes fluttering.
"Qingfeng, did you hear that? The baby called me mommy," she excitedly said to Qingfeng Li.
Her voice was filled with excitement, happiness, and other complicated emotions.
As a woman, Ruyan Liu's biggest wish was for her baby to call her mom. Now that her wish was fulfilled, she could not be happier.
"Baby, call me mommy again," Ruyan excitedly said as she looked at the baby.
The baby opened her mouth and called, "Mommy, mommy, mommy…"
At first, her pronunciation was incorrect, but it became clearer as she repeated the word more.
Qingfeng Li was a little jealous of Ruyan Liu. He was the baby's father but the baby would not call him daddy. She only said mommy.
Qingfeng Li walked beside the baby and booped her nose. He said, "Baby, say daddy."
The baby had huge eyes that looked like two black pearls, deep like the brightest night sky and the depths of the blue ocean. They were indescribably beautiful and impossible to draw one's gaze away from.
The baby blinked her big bright eyes. She was cute and derpy at the same time.
Her eyelashes fluttered as doubt filled her eyes. She looked at Qingfeng Li with doubt as she did not know who the man was. She questioned why he booped her nose and asked her to call him daddy.
The baby blinked again and looked at Qingfeng Li with a bit of anger.
She thought, "Hmmm, how dare you boop me! I am angry and don't want to pay attention to you." 
She then turned her head so she didn't have to look at Qingfeng Li.
Hahaha!
Upon seeing the scene unfold, Jiaojiao Liu laughed happily.
"Brother in law, did you see that? The baby doesn't like you! You made her angry!" Jiaojiao Liu held her stomach as she continued to laugh.
Qingfeng Li rolled her eyes and said, "Jiaojiao, how dare you laugh at me like that, I treated you so well before."
Jiaojiao Liu frowned and said, "Hmm, Brother in law, you don't treat me well at all. You don't take me shopping or give me money."
Qingfeng Li had no words and depressingly said, "Jiaojiao, how old are you? You want me to take you shopping?"
Black Puppy frowned and comically said, "Qingfeng Li, I would never would have thought that your daughter would disrespect you and wouldn't talk to you. Look at yourself, you have a bad character."
Qingfeng Li did not dare to hit Jiaojiao Liu, but he could hit Black Puppy.
Qingfeng Li had a lot of pent up anger. The baby would not pay attention to him and made him unhappy. He extended his right hand and slapped Black Puppy's head. It bruised and swelled, making the puppy look ridiculous.
Sky-Devouring Snake wagged its tail and could not stop laughing.
"Keep on laughing, and I just might hit you too," Qingfeng Li extended his palm and said to Sky-Devouring Snake.
It covered its mouth right away, not daring to laugh anymore.
"Ruyan, why won't the baby pay attention to me? It hurts my feelings," Qingfeng Li asked Ruyan Liu with concern.
She laughed and said, "It's been so long since the baby last saw you. She probably feels estranged towards you. If you sing her a song, she will definitely remember you."
Qingfeng Li asked, "What should I sing? I just sung Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars."
Ruyan thought for a second and said, "Her favorite song is Little Apple. Sing Little Apple by Chopsticks Brothers."
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, "I'll sing that then."
"I planted a seed that finally bore fruit, today is a great day, I give the stars to you...
You are my little apple, I can never love you too much, your red face warms my heart, lighting the fire, fire, fire, fire, fire in my life…" Qingfeng Li emotionally sung Little Apple.
Seeing Qingfeng Li singing Little Apple, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake covered their mouths and quietly laughed.
One had to remember that Qingfeng Li was a half step into the Spirit Emperor Realm. He was incredibly famous in the world of self-cultivation and even Spirit Emperors had been killed by him before.
But now, the strong Qingfeng Li was singing a children's song. No matter how you looked at it, the scene was hilarious.
Qingfeng Li shot an angry glare at the two and killed their laughter, before he continued singing.
The baby heard Qingfeng Li's song and suddenly remembered a lot.
Even though her brain was small and she was young, she had excellent memory, especially towards lyrics. She remembered that a man used to sing her this song, and that he was her father.
"You are my little apple, I can never love you too much, fire, fire, fire, fire." The baby started singing as well, waving her hands. Her dance moves were cute and pretty.
As Qingfeng Li sung, he started dancing. He walked besides the baby and said, "Baby, remember me? I am you daddy. This is your favorite song, right? Do you like Daddy's singing?"
"Like it." The baby said two words. Even though her voice was not clear, it was still audible.
Happiness appeared in Qingfeng Li's eyes and he said, "Baby, if you want me to sing it to you from now on, call me Daddy."
"Daddy," The baby mumbled and called Qingfeng Li daddy.
Hearing his baby call him daddy made Qingfeng Li extremely happy. He looked like a poor boy who just got a piece of candy, or a thirsty man who found a bottle of water. Qingfeng Li danced like a child.
To Qingfeng Li, hearing the baby call him daddy was his happiest moment.


Qingfeng was known as the Wolf King, a legendary mercenary that had mastered peerless martial arts and the sophisticated art of medicine. He originally wanted to just live a peaceful life, but his arranged wife, who is a CEO, thinks he is a loser and wants a divorce. The cold war between husband and wife began.

The surrounding spiritual beasts had all escaped away from fear of the golden tiger, so it was basically safe. Huang Beiyue found a big tree and climbed up. She put the baby Pure Gold Spirit Tiger at her feet, and then made thirty-six Ice Shields around.

In this way, she wouldn't worry about being attacked by those floating lights while refining the elixir later using vitality.

It was a kind of waste setting as much as thirty-six Ice Shields. But for insurance sake, she couldn't be stingy. After all, those medical materials were very expensive.

She took out the Purple Quenching Golden Furnace, and placed the medical materials one by one according to their attributes. Then she gathered vitality in hands to form fire flames burning in the Purple Quenching Golden Furnace.

She had refined elixirs many times before, so this time she was very familiar with the procedure. Besides, with the methods recorded in Scroll of Refined Medicines, it yielded twice the result with half the effort. Only after about an hour, the elixir was ready.

This elixir was called Silver Snake Dan, which was named after the Silver Snake, the most important and expensive medical material in it. Silver Snake was not a high-level spiritual beast, but it was rare to see. It grew in the snow plateau and lived in the frozen snow field all year round. Therefore, its whole body was beautiful silvery white.

It was said that Silver Snake Dan was an elixir extremely loved by some noble women in the past. After eating it, people can maintain youth for at least three to five years.

The Silver Snake Dan made by Huang Beiyue was refined according to the records in Scroll of Refined Medicines. Therefore, it was different in nature from those made for the noble women.

This Silver Snake Dan could change one's appearance, including quality and other characteristics.

Huang Beiyue put the Silver Snake Dan into baby Pure Gold Spirit Tiger's mouth. The little guy swallowed it directly, which frightened Huang Beiyue. What if the baby beast choke to death?!

But in fact, it was unnecessary to worry. After eating the Silver Snake Dan, the Pure Gold Spirit Tiger was still asleep lovingly, only the pale golden light on his body disappearing slowly. The gorgeous golden fluff gradually turned into ordinary patterned tiger furs.

It was really useful! Huang Beiyue was very happy. Now, she could keep the baby beast openly and righteously. The baby Tiger needn't to hide like the Ice Spirit Bird.

Now that she had made it, she couldn't keep Feng Lianyi wait any longer. She took back the thirty-six Ice Shields and jumped down from the tree holding the Pure Gold Spirit Tiger.

A few steps later, she heard a rude shout behind, "Who is there? Get out!"

Huang Beiyue frowned. There were other people in Floating Forest! Those who were not scared away by the golden tiger must be masters!

She stopped but didn't turn around. The people behind her had already stepped up. There were at least ten people judging from the footsteps!

"It's a little girl! You scared me! " The man said.

"Hey, how dare an ordinary girl break into the Floating Forest alone? She must be a disguised master! Ding Qi, don't underestimate the enemy! " Another man said.

"Brother Huang Shao is right. Nowadays, little girls can be amazing! Look at the bitch Hong Lian. Hum, it makes me angry just thinking of her!" A third man said.

Ding Qi was the man shouting at the beginning. After listening to the words, he nodded and said, "Yes, we can't underestimate the enemy. This little girl must be weird! Hey, little girl, where are you from? "

Serpent Dunes.
An island continent full of magic dwellers of both the old arts and the new.
A home to normal magical creatures and humans, but beneath the golden waves of sand lie ruins and remnants of folk so old, so powerful, so cruel, so vile, so hateful, and magical they could send a chill deep into your bones and fear into the deepest, darkest corners of your minds.
The Na-gin.
The Serpents.
Even after countless wars and battles leading to ruination they survive albeit in very, very few numbers with a blood thirst that the deserts cannot dry nor the sun diminish. 
Humans, on the other hand, prosper peacefully and happily on their side protected by stone and the wild jungles. Humans have been living harmoniously for centuries now and have long forgotten the blood wars their ancestors sacrificed themselves for. They have long forgotten the rivers of blood that ran instead of water, the mountains of skulls and corpses, the changing of the land as it soaked the blood of both human and serpent.
But the serpents have not.
They still remember their dead, mourn their lost and sing songs of their vanquished sons and daughters.
When the current Sultan faces threats of a long dormant foe starting to stir from its nest, he summons powers of the ancient to kill the evil festering at his wall. He searches high and nigh, day and night, in hopes of finding a warrior worthy to wield a sword, carry his nations flag with pride, and magic course through his veins.
The Sultan does not expect to find a snake fighters blood in a extraordinarily beautiful golden eyed babe, a fire burning in her magical eyes that could drown out stars with veins pulsing in magic and a destiny rare receive.
The fate of Serpent Dunes relies on a young maiden.
The last Snake Fighter.
◆~×_____PROLOGUE _____×~◆

'Next.'
Aksel growled disgusted and annoyed as he pinched his nose bridge with his thumb and index. It was both revolting and horrifying to see such violence especially since this sort of abuse was being inflicted on infants under his watchful eye. What kind of a king did this? But he was desperate and Aksel was paying the price.
The dead snake was removed, the wailing, injured baby taken back to the arms of his sorrowful guardian and the sand in the pit was cleaned away of spilt blood. The people beside him made no sound except for their breathing, one couldn't make conversation after witnessing such a barbaric test. Aksel was surprised his Vizier hasn't spilled his lunch out at the sight of blood and was composed even after one of the previous infants had been of his own kin.
The sand pit where the testing took place was circular and small often used for animal fights between a mongoose and a cobra, two roosters, two cats, two dogs or even between a scorpion and a snake, it's walls high enough to keep its audience away from danger and the thick black bars protected lest the wild animals decided to climb up. The herald announced the next child's name, his family, his status and where he belonged from. A royal guard entered with another infant, this babe was as common as the previous had been and he placed him in the middle on the soft sand and left. The heated sunlight falling down like a column from the ceiling onto the baby in a dark and cool room. The baby made no noise as he wondered what was going on and Aksel waved his richly ringed fingers uninterested towards the guard holding the wooden flap, the rope went down at the signal and out slithered a normal snake that was dangerous but not venemous. The baby made its first sound of distress and Aksel felt his heart clench tightly in his chest. This was someone's child, someone's flesh and blood, due to becoming a father again recently he felt his heart melt helplessly as the baby started crying big fat tears at being left alone in an unfamiliar surrounding.
The snake slithered side to side on the sand making its way towards the crying infant that kicked it's legs making clouds of dust somehow sensing the danger creeping towards it, another guard got ready to nock an arrow, everyone held their breaths either with anticipation or fear. The babe was no more than eleven months having being able to sit upright but not flexible enough as a child.
Perhaps the witches and wizards were wrong, that a snake fighter being born was just a miscalculation in the stars or a false reading on the bones. Magic was uncertain wasn't it? There was never a clear answer or sign of what it intended to do or say. The snake struck with a pounce and had only grazed the babe's ankle with his long fang drawing droplets of blood and eliciting painful cries when an arrow tip pierced deep into the snakes head and stuck to the ground but the child's cry did not stop as it screamed at the pain he'd received making Aksel swallow.
'No, he's not a snake fighter.'
The king said gravely as he watched a guard enter and awkwardly hold the crying baby trying to soothe him but the infant shrieked and shrieked kicking and thrashing his little arms and legs. Aksel and his company could hear the baby even as it was lead away from sight and they all watched silently as a sweeper came in, taking the remnants of the dead snake and shoving fresh golden sand onto the previously bloodied one.
'I cannot stomach another test, I am done for today.' Aksel announced almost getting ready to rise but his vizier stopped him by surprisingly saying 'The next is the last one for the week, your majesty, please, just this last one, I hear she may be hopeful.' The king slumped back curious and asked aloud 'She?' Vizier Silas nodded 'She is Captain Ajax's niece, a very beautiful baby.' The king considered the vizier and his words, Silas rarely praised anyone else besides himself so the man might be actually impressed this time. The king eyed captain Ajax, a handsome young man in his early twenties and probably one of a many few to acquire the title of captain of the kingsguard at such a youthful age. Ajax tensed as the herald called.
'Sonali Hayes, daughter of Fahad Hayes and Nina Hayes, Serpent Dunes wealthiest sea trader. And niece to Captain Ajax.'
He added the last part looking pointedly at the captain who glanced annoyed in his direction. Ajax saw as a guard came and placed his niece who was dressed in expensive richly golden finery on the sand. Instantly as expected to Ajax her eyes caught Silas' attention. 'This one is a unique one, your majesty. Look at that eye colour. So strange, so foreign.' Silas commented stroking his pointy beard thoughtfully. The King grunted in reply, agreeing with his advisor and not trying to voice the hope he felt. The small group of men stared strangely at the infant placed below them in the small circular sand pit. The baby sat straight on her back but she couldn't walk, only crawl. She stared back at her keen observing viewers with a child's curiosity. The child held extraordinary beauty, that much anyone could see.
'Shall we see then?'
General Ashbel asked growing slightly impatient and speaking for the first time. The sight of seeing an infant bitten by a snake again and again was revolting and despicable. None passed the test. Most of the men had their doubts quietly growing in their minds that perhaps the royal castle witches and wizards were wrong. So far there wasn't even the hint of any snake fighter.
Were the kids too young?
That was the only explanation that held logic. That most of these infants were too young, still unable to access their magic. 'Are you sure she's capable?' The young captain asked with a grimace, he didn't have the stomach to witness his beloved niece getting injured. Though he was a trainee for the kingsguard and a squire months from knighthood, seeing snakes bite babies or hearing their shrieks wasn't settling well with Ajax. He didn't even believe in the legends of the snake fighters and knew the others thought the same. If there were to be any snake fighters it would be from the royal lineage, since centuries ago it was their ancestry that held the title.
The baby sat in the pit staring up and back at the adults observing them. She was cheery than the other babies before her and seemed completely unaware of what was happening around her. This baby didn't feel frightened, she didn't cry nor did she feel nervous. Either her mother or nurse did not pay her attention at all for it to feel vulnerable away from their arms or it was an optimistic baby. 'Let us hope she is, the color of her eyes suggest she may possess magic.' Replied King Aksel, he wished that she showed the signs of a snake fighter, he desperately needed one, his Kingdom depended on one. And he wouldn't stop looking until he found one.
The king gave a nod to the servant holding the wooden flap door rope and the servant nodded back before pulling the rope down to let the deadly snake slither out of its confinement as it's trap door was pulled up. Aksel furrowed his eyebrows as the cobra stood on its belly and hissed at the golden eyed baby. Ajax tightened his fists but didn't let his gaze waver. He silently prayed that no harm befell the baby but knew it was unlikely. 'Why is there a poisonous snake in the pit? I had ordered all the tests be made with snakes that possessed no venom.' Asked the king looking at the vizier who bowed his head making his chin reach his chest before replying. 'Your majesty's court decided that since she is magical we should take, extreme, measures.' If Aksel was displeased he didn't show it but Ajax worried silently. The baby looked confused at the snake then at the adults watching her. She stared at the brown cobra for a while, then she started playing with sand that she was sitting on uninterested in the creature of death. Seeing it's prey distracted the cobra pounced fiercely at the beautiful baby and everyone held their breath waiting to hear the loud painful shrieks of the infant, the tension of death or pain hanging heavily, but....
There was none.
With the amount of force the cobra had attacked it was flung back with twice the same amount in rebound and hit against the small pit wall.
Suddenly everyone became more alert, the king sat straighter.
Had their eyes tricked them?
Was it true what they had seen?
The cobra regained it's slippery stance and pounced again. Each time it pounced it was deflected off by an invisible force shield bubble. The baby that was behind this magic showed clear signs of fear at the first pounce and wailed a little in distress. When the snake hit the wall, when it flung back, she found amusement. Slowly her fear and shock for the snake turned into humor which led her to giggles then she burst out laughing at the snake's pathetic attempt to bite her. The long fangs of the snake dripped with poison but they could not hurt the baby.
'Is she the one?'
General Ashbel asked astounded. The legend of snake fighters was all that it was.
A legend.
The ability to deflect all reptiles as one of its strengths was only recorded as a story they told children. 'Yes, she's the one.' King Aksel replied in awe. 'This is a miracle!' The vizier breathed out amazed. It had been months they were testing the babies in the entire Kingdom. Hoping and praying that a snake fighter be found amidst them. 'But the infant is a female.' General Ashbel voiced his concerned thoughts and looking at the baby girl analytically. 'That may be a problem.' Agreed the vizier nodding his head 'She will be strong.' King Aksel replied, his eyes still glued at the chubby infant that played in the sand and he was studying how the baby wasn't affected by the attacking snake at all. The cobra had now given up and just sat with its tail and body coiled in a rope like heap sticking it's forked tongue in and out again.
Probably annoyed.
Their attention was caught when the baby girl started giggling again. Shining a beautiful smile that showed her two front teeth growing. She was poking holes in the sand with her finger making googly noises and this act made Aksel's lips curl up. 'She may be strong sire, but she will grow up to be a respectable lady, the only weaponry she will have access to might be bow and arrow or a dagger, she will not be able to withstand a warrior's training.' The vizier replied thinking everything critically like he often did and as was his job. 'Snake fighters are different from ordinary magical folk and us humans, Silas.' The king replied finally taking his eyes off the infant. 'We cannot guarantee that she will be a strong warrior, a leader, she might have a strong mind but that is not all that is required.' General Ashbel said now worried as he thought more of the future.
'Women can be strong Silas, there have been many female warriors, even snake fighters, I do not doubt she will be any different.' Captain Ajax intervened scratching his dark dashing stubble. 'I have to agree with the general on this one, captain.' Silas piped in.
'What is her name again?'
Aksel asked in a soft tone. The baby's laughter was contagious and it could bring a smile on even the grumpiest of faces. The guard that had been holding the trap door rope snapped out of his daze before the herald. He too was shocked at how the poisonous snake did not harm the infant. 'S-sonali Hayes, your highness, daughter of one of Serpent Dunes richest sea traders.' The guard stuttered looking back at the baby girl. 'Sonali. The name suits her.' King Aksel said thoughtfully nodding his head.
'She will be a great warrior.' Aksel said confidently making the men around him raise a look at each other. How sure was the king? He was very confident about her greatness even while she was just a baby.
Ajax, who was still young and inexperienced in the presence of the king, asked out loud 'Sire, how are you so sure? She is but a child.' No matter the status and responsibility he held, she was still his niece, the others tensed at the boy's slip of tongue but Aksel smiled at his boldness. One did not speak or question the king unless spoken to but he was wise enough to understand. 'She has magic in her viens, which she is able to access at such an age.' He paused getting up from his chair and the rest did the same.
'She will be the greatest in history.'

Serpent Dunes.

An island continent full of magic dwellers of both the old arts and the new.

A home to normal magical creatures and humans, but beneath the golden waves of sand lie ruins and remnants of folk so old, so powerful, so cruel, so vile, so hateful, and magical they could send a chill deep into your bones and fear into the deepest, darkest corners of your minds.

The Na-gin.

The Serpents.

Even after countless wars and battles leading to ruination they survive albeit in very, very few numbers with a blood thirst that the deserts cannot dry nor the sun diminish. 

Humans, on the other hand, prosper peacefully and happily on their side protected by stone and the wild jungles. Humans have been living harmoniously for centuries now and have long forgotten the blood wars their ancestors sacrificed themselves for. They have long forgotten the rivers of blood that ran instead of water, the mountains of skulls and corpses, the changing of the land as it soaked the blood of both human and serpent.

But the serpents have not.

They still remember their dead, mourn their lost and sing songs of their vanquished sons and daughters.

When the current Sultan faces threats of a long dormant foe starting to stir from its nest, he summons powers of the ancient to kill the evil festering at his wall. He searches high and nigh, day and night, in hopes of finding a warrior worthy to wield a sword, carry his nations flag with pride, and magic course through his veins.

The Sultan does not expect to find a snake fighters blood in a extraordinarily beautiful golden eyed babe, a fire burning in her magical eyes that could drown out stars with veins pulsing in magic and a destiny rare receive.

The fate of Serpent Dunes relies on a young maiden.

The last Snake Fighter.

Third person's P.O.V

"It's a girl!" A young doctor exclaimed over the cries of a newborn baby girl. A mother with blonde hair panted in exhaustion and leaned back in relaxation, after 23 hours of delivery she had finally brought her daughter to the world. A father with black hair was just staring at the baby in awe as his hand was being bandaged up from his wife crushing it as the nurse cleaned up the baby girl.
After the baby was cleaned she was given to her mother who held her with a gentle smile on her face, the father his hands on his lover's shoulders looking down at his new daughter in his wife's arms.
'She so beautiful.' The father thought.
"What is her name?" The doctor asked.
"Kaiya," The mother replied, as her heartbeat on her heart monitor started slowing down, the father felt a frown making its way on his as he heard this sound.
"Oh my snake don't start frowning, we both knew that the pregnancy was killing me," the mother replied smiling at her lover as her heart rate kept slowing down, she handed the baby girl to the father who held her gently in his arms.
"You promise that you will keep her safe no matter what?" The mother asked, the father.
"Yes, my love," the father replied.
"Good and make sure she gets the scroll I wrote her," The mother said as her eyes started to close as the heart monitor flat-lined. The father back his tears of losing his wife. The baby girl then started cry, he managed to calm her down as the staff took the dead mother away.
'I'm going to miss you, my love.' The father thought.
**
After a day of observing that the baby was healthy. The father was jumping from branch to tree branch holding the baby close. He looked at his daughter snuggled in his chest. He knew it was safe to take the baby with him to where he was going and was taking her to the one place she would be safe.
He wished he could keep her and watch her go but the place he was heading wasn't going to safe, as much as he hoped to keep her he just couldn't risk her getting hurt.
'I love you and want to keep you but it just isn't safe. Maybe one day we can be together again. I just can't take you with me.' The father thought as he looked down at his daughter.
After a week of traveling the father had finally arrived at his destination, sighing he looked at his daughter in his arms cooing in wonder at the surroundings around them. Taking off his cloak he wrapped it around his daughter, he also put the scroll from his wife in the buddle and placed a small black box with a necklace in it next to the scroll. He placed his daughter at the gate gently kissing her forehead before disappearing, Kaiya then began crying as soon as the father left.
**
Izumo and Kotetsu we're opening the gates to Konoha as usual when they both heard something.
"Did you hear that?" Kotetsu asked.
"Yeah, it sounds like a baby crying," Izumo said. Kotetsu nodded his head in agreement, the two opened the gates and saw a bundle.
Walking over to the buddle they saw that inside there was a baby and they weren't just imagining things.  Kotetsu picked up the baby and rocked her in his arms making the baby stop crying. While Izumo looked at the scroll that was with her, but it had some seal on it that prevents him from opening it, so he opens the black box and saw a golden snake pendant inside. With the name engraved Kaiya S. On the back of it.
"We should report this to the Hokage," Izumo said, Kotetsu nodded in agreement.
**
The hokage was sitting in his office looking through his crystal ball watching a shadow figure standing in a tree staring at the gate before poofing away when there was a knock on the door, deactivating the crystal ball he said, "Come in." Izumo and Kotetsu walked in, Kotetsu was still holding baby Kaiya.
"Kotetsu and Izumo and who is this?" The hokage asked pointing to the sleeping Kaiya.
"We have no idea, sir, we found her at the gate crying," Kotetsu said.
"We think she was abandoned, there were this scroll and this necklace with her," Izumo said holding up the scroll and necklace up.
The hokage examined the scroll and the necklace and hummed knowing only one person who loved snakes. "Leave her to me you two, get back to work," the hokage said, Kotetsu gave the hokage the baby and left her, and headed back to the gates to do their work.
The hokage held Kaiya up wondering what he should do with her, then an idea struck him, he called in Kurenai Yuhi while waiting he tickled Kaiya smiling as she giggled. "Hey there I'm Hiruzen, your hokage but you can call me grandpa," Kaiya giggle as she tugged at his time sleeve.
The hokage laugh as Kaiya tugged at his sleeve when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." He called out and Kurenai stepped inside.
"Kurenai, I want you to take care of this orphan," he said, Kurenai was too surprised to speak, so she just nodded.
The hokage handed Kaiya to Kurenai and gave her the scroll and necklace and some money. "Good luck I expect to see her at the academy when she turns 7 years old," the hokage said having them off as Kurenai went to her apartment carrying Kaiya.
Kurenai brought some baby stuff like a crib, a monitor, diapers, formula, and a stuffed snake it was cute so she brought it to go with the necklaces, she took the stuff in a scroll and carry it to her apartment.
She put the stuff she brought in her spare bedroom room in her apartment putting Kaiya in the crib with her stuffed snake, smiling as she cuddles the toy with a smile. She then went to make a bottle of formula for the baby figuring she was probably hungry.
After the formula was ready she went into the bedroom and began feeding the baby and smiled. She was a single mother now and was going to do her best to raise baby Kaiya. She then looked at the necklace and was curious about what the S stands for. All she knew is she was determined to raise Kaiya into a wonderful person.

Kaiya was abandoned at the gate of Konoha by her father for her own safety. All she had was a scroll with a letter written by her mom and a snake necklace in a box with her name on it. She is brought to the hokage by Izumo and Kotetsu who orders Kurenai Yuhi to adopt her.

              Karen was very busy that day and  a package arrive from one of her relatives abroad, she had to receive the package and the deliverer need to take her picture as proof she received the package. She left Prince in the room with an open window to let the fresh air get in, Prince is playing with his new toys bought by Joseph. Joseph was busy because of the additional orders they receive for ripe mangoes delivery, their livelihood was getting in demand these days because  Joseph make it sure their product was sweet and fresh upon delivery. And his commitment to his customers for on time deliveries is always his priority, even to his own family's expense.
             " I'm doing this for you and Prince, you are my inspiration to strive harder to be able to give you a good life and better future for Prince", Joseph said when she demanded of his time that was spent mostly in the farm.
              " I find it hard to beleive you, what if you are just seeing someone in the farm that stole most of your time?", Karen accuse him.
           " Honey, please stop that, you know I trust you as much that's why whatever you say I beleive you so I also expect trust from you!", Joseph's countered  all of her accusations.  She felt her husband 's honesty but she just want to hear his  declaration of love over and over again, her irritating but cute attitude that never change. When the package deliverer left, she checked her son inside the room and she was just in time to see that a big hawk was inside the room and trying to kidnapped her son with the baby walker.
             " Prince! shewww! shewww! leave my son alone whoever you are!", shoving the hawk away Karen was almost crying in despair trying to jump up in the air, pulling the walker down. She find it impossible to beleive eventhough  the hawk is big as it is capable of kidnapping her son.
           Her son started to squirm and cry, maybe because of the fear in the sound of her voice.. Prince realize that he was being suspended in the air, might be  he was in  uncomfortable position or airsickness, as usual when he scream in desperation in his baby ways with his foot kicking in the air, in the process his color automatically changed, and the hawk seems astonished at the discovery like it had a mind of it's own, stare at the child and put down the walker in a haste and fly out of the room through the open window. She take her son out of the walker and  hug him very tight. Since that day she made it sure the window was close safely, since the day Prince was born countless  of unexplainable occurence happened that even Karen cannot fathom, that's why she always keep an eye on her son for his safety. Just like the other day his son was nearly beaten by a poisonous snake when she brought him outside in the lawn for an early morning sun, while she,'s watering the plants, the snake crawl in the direction of Prince, but luckily her cat kitty was around to protect the child. She is afraid of snake, she don't like the way it looks specially the slittered eyes that seems to stare at her in hatred. She saw it in the corner of  her own eyes how the snake crawl in her son's direction and kitty  scratch its back, then the snake look back at the cat then the cat seems like a statue  sitting just watching the snake, then when the snake move forward she will follow it again and scratch its back, and again the cat acts as though a statue sitting on her two hind legs when the snake look back .Obviously kitty was trying to delay the snake or simply challenge the snake for a play but she's thankful because of what kitty was doing the snake   lose its focus,  she put off the water and in a swift movement run at  her son and  took him inside and close the door. It was a cute moment for the cat and snake to watch at, but she was taken over by nervousness and  scares for her son's safety.  She don't know where the snake came from and goes after that, but she's glad kitty was there to interrupt all of the snakes bad intention.
             " I don't know why Prince life seems always being threaten, he is just a helpless boy at his age he cannot even walk on his own without the aid of a walker, after the hawk and snake, what's next?", Karen relay to her husband while they are in bed and little Prince was tucked in his cot  peacefully asleep.
            " That's why I'm glad you decided to stop working and take care  of Prince and me personally, thanks for the effort, love and care", Joseph said kissing her on the cheek.
          " I have no choice but to do that, besides I love what I'm doing! taking care two of my most favorite important family members, besides in times like this I beleive it is no good for any nanny being in the situation i've been through, for sure they will not stay long, and I also wanted to keep our son's secret out of other people's grasp, I hate to think of the possibility that he will be treated as a weirdo, that will create a big negative impact on his self esteem someday", Karen long explaination.
           " I love you more for that, my wife", Joseph look at his wife with admiration in his eyes.
           " What I'm wondering of right now is who are those that want our son dead?", Karen was really scared of the possibility that there are creatures who wants to eliminate their son, for what reason? she had no idea.
          " But of course I also want you to be vigilant of what was going on when I'm not around to protect you both, specially these days that  I spend more time at the farm to supervise our livelihood."  Joseph instructed his wife.
           " Of course for the safety of Prince specially now that there's some forces who wanted to harm him, I will never allow that to happened I will protect our son no matter how dangerous things are", Karen promised.
           " That's the spirit! my brave wife, I love you more each day", Joseph said as she snuggle closer to him.
             Each day was a challenge for Karen, her life was physically tiring but enjoyable. She enjoy taking care of her son and husband they are her life at this time, taking them away from her is like taking her breathe away from her. Having to witness how her son grows and become stronger each day, now she know why mothers are the first teachers of their children, as she teaches her own son on his first step until he learn to walk by himself without her help.
           Her husband was very happy the first time Prince call him 'dada' and she kissed him countless of time when he called her 'mama' the happiness she felt cannot be compared to any material things there is available for her own disposal. Her heart was full of gladness, the first time she saw Prince trying to run since then he always run might be the reason why his foot is getting stronger  each day.
             " My love, it's dinner time , let's  eat now, dada and I are waiting for you here in the table", Karen lovingly told her son.
            " Son, don't let the food wait for you that is bad manners the graces we receive each day will resent you and walk away because you disregard them", Joseph litany.
             " leli dada? t'has foo tat walk?", Prince asked , at two and a half years old still baby talk, such words are hard to understand but for Karen she know what he meant and he was asking if they has foot that walk , he became interested when he heard that foods will walk away. 
         Prince was very observant and he has the tendency to imitate all the things they do as parents and the words they both say. He just pick some interesting topic that fancy his interest and asked them for explaination.
          " Come on little boy, eat your foods first and we'll talk about foods that walk away because somebody like you took them for granted",  Karen promised.
            " Yeheyyy! I love story mama,", Prince happily clap his little hands in happiness 
            " For sure he will be waiting for your long story tonight and a long time of question and answer portion in between of your story", Joseph told his wife.
            " Yes dada, he has a lot of questions which sometimes hard to answer, it's hard to make up stories just to satisfy his queries", Karen laughingly answered.
            " Our boy is growing up very smart and hungry for more knowledge and I like that he will grow up a very intelligent boy", Joseph agreed.
             " Mama, bird!", Prince said pointing at the bird in the picture.
              " Yes, baby this bird is called a hawk", Karen inform her son.
            " uwk!", Prince said, imitating what his mother said.
            " Whatever! it's okay baby when you grow up things will be easier to pronounced", Karen promised her son. But later on Karen understand why her son's interest with the bird arose, when one day while they are playing in the lawn Prince pointed at the highest portion of mango tree.
              " Mama look!  uwk!", Prince pointed at where the bird was. Karen look at the direction her son was pointing at first she hadn't saw it  then later on she notice when it moves.
           " Yes baby, that's a hawk!", Karen agreed. .She look angrily at the hawk, she had some notion in the back of her mind that her son always saw the hawk that's why he become familiar with the bird.
           " I don't know how he had saw that bird, does it watch after Prince or just looking for opportunity to attack him and endanger our son's life" Karen was in confusion as she relay her thought to her husband that night.
            " If that bird had attempted to kidnap our son before it might have reason why it was watching after our son, but waiting for an exact opportunity to harm him", Joseph's agreed.
           " What if t'was sultan Sota that watch after him?", Karen had thought.
           " But if it was him then why he is not aware that Prince changes color when he is angry, uncomfortable or feeling threaten? that's impossible! because sultan is fully aware of the capabilities of  our son!",  sudden realization had come in Karen's mind.
        " Yes, that's right, and that's enough, don't bother yourself too much of unending questions which is difficult to answer, they were just all speculations! we better sleep now to regain strength for the next day", Joseph's jokingly suggested to his wife.
            " Wow, you 're not helping but, making things more complicated for me, but you're right let's sleep tonight and tomorrow's another day!", Karen retorded.
             Joseph was already deep in his sleep, but Karen was still wide awake, these days even her sleep was affected for the thought that there  are harms plotted for her son.What if they are already heavily sleeping then something crawl to harm her child? the snake for instance! 
         Snakes can sneak in their house without notice anytime , what if the hawk was an enemy's eyes that waiting for the right opportunity to attack her son, the more she'll keep an eyes on her son's welfare, she cannot    
let tolerance to slip in her obligation as mother. Why can't it be that things are just normal just like everybody? a normal life for her son, she want that but her son is not a normal child, who among normal people had divided colors? only her son and sultan Sota.
She silently hope and pray that everything will be alright. She don't want that her husband will blame her someday if something unbearable happened to Prince.


         

            

He was born with a human mother and the hearsay that his real father is the king of the volcano. Many just laugh in disbelief but his earthly father agree with his mother because of his undeniable power since birth. He is capable of killing through his laser eyes when he is angry and can control human minds or hipnotize whoever he wants. His parents raise him to be a good human being, and taught him to use his power for good reason to save humans who receive injustice and help those who are helpless and in need of a hero.

A New Member To Love 
◊◊◊
'Hey, deadpan, look what I found!' Yaş said, lifting the newborn up, who had closed his eyes, peacefully sleeping inside the walls of Castle Ryut. Hundreds of people were walking around in the city, all of them occupied with their own tasks. The castle called city contained colorful kinds of stalls selling fruits, meats, tools, clothing, and everything else a functioning civilization needs. 
The inhabitants visibly didn't differ much in age, all of them fit and youthful, yet with sternness on some faces showing the taxing years of their lives.  
'The beacon-child,' Cek said blandly. 
'Y-yeah… he was the one making all that noise.'
'Where is Cuma?' 
'Don't know, I looked around for a bit, but I had to take caution since the Conqueror could be near.'
'That's odd.'
'Don't worry, he'll turn up soon enough. Do you have some of Unk's baby clothes left? We lost Su's during the move.'
'Where did you find the baby?' Cek asked. 
'Don't ignore my question! Some snake was dragging it a short mile away. If it wasn't for me this little one would've been swallowed whole. You may call me hero,' Yaş said, petting Cek's head. 
A group of women walked passed and started laughing at Yaş, acting in a way he seldom shows to the citizens. 
'What are you looking at!? Yaş shouted, startling the three women. 'Come here, if you have time to spare, you can go put some clothes on this little one!' 
'Wait,' Cek said, grabbing the baby out of Yaş' hands and examining him thoroughly. 
'Oh, yeah, the snake was dragging him through the sand, so his back and butt got a bit hurt. I already looked at it, seems like nothing serious.'
Cek held the newborn over his head, looking at his buttocks from beneath. The baby laughed and let out a small puff of Yu onto his face. Cek didn't even flinch, his expression staying as bland as always. The three women tried to hold their laughter, but after Yaş let his own go, they followed suit. 
'I heard the baby's cries come from the north… perhaps…' Cek thought, giving Igni to one of the three women. Never having a child themselves, excitedly they closed in on Igni, playing with his cheeks and hands, leaving promptly to find him fitting clothes. 
Although his demeanor didn't change, Yaş sensed something was off with his co-King. 
'You alright?' he asked. 
'Unk! (Oonk)' Cek shouted, his mouth barely moved, but the loudness of his voice classified his call as a shout. 
The sound of a shut door could be heard as a young man responded to his father's call. 
'Yes, father,' Unk, son of Cek, the Warden said, practically a carbon copy of him, chained hair, tenseness, and social skills alike. The only big difference being his owl like wide open unblinking eyes, his iris in the shape of a four-pointed silver star, four points less than his father's. Apart from the three Kings, none had seen the boy ever blink in their lives. 
'There is a snake between half and three quarters of a mile to the north. Find it,' Cek ordered. 
'What? Whatcha gonna do with the snake?' Yaş asked.
'As you wish,' Unk said. 
'He looks, uhh, ye-' Yaş tried to inform him, but stopped, seeing the young man running out of the city.
'There's something wrong with both of you…' Yaş said, 'but what are you going to do with the snake?' 
Cek walked away, adding the last straw on the camel carrying Yaş' patience. He grabbed his wrist, freezing Cek's left hand completely. 
'Stop ignoring me, answer the damned question,' Yaş said sternly.
'Yes,' Cek said. 
'Yes, what?'
'I still have Unk's baby clothes.'
'I hate you so much.'
'Wait for Unk to return. For now, you better let go off my arm,' Cek said. 
'Look at the tough guy finally showing some spirit. Tell me, what's gonna happen if I don't?' Yaş asked.
'You'll have to do the paperwork.'
'As you wish, fellow King,' Yaş said, unfreezing his hand in an instant. 
Hours later
'Cekster, the ladies baked a cake to celebrate the baby's arrival. I brought a slice for you,' Yaş said, standing at the door of the Royal Office.
'I'm busy,' Cek said.
'It's got some ingredients from Earth. Look, this red thing is what they call a strawberry.'
'I don't care.'
'Suit yourself, more cake for me, I guess,' Yaş said, licking his lips, but a knocking on the door drew Yaş' attention away from the dessert.
'E-excuse me, Lord Yaş,' a man wearing a yellow and green striped robe said after walking in, pressing a light brown flat cap against his chest. 
Yaş stepped aside, letting the man through. 
'Lord Cek,' the man said with a bow.

 
 

 
'Petror (Pètròr), you're lacking behind your monthly quota. I need you to finish the roof of 4th street 11 today,' Cek said.
'A-ah, Lord Cek, today is my daughter's birthday,' Petror said with his head down. 
'Congratulations. Hergal from 3rd street 7 said his roof made that whistling sound again, so pass by them before heading to the 4th,' Cek said in his usual monotone manner, not understanding the subtle request Petror attempted to make.
Petror squeezed his flat cap, head still low. 
'You're dismissed,' Cek said, after which Petror promptly left. 
Yaş walked behind Cek, who continued doing the daily paperwork. 
'You know, it's important for a King to be loved by his people,' Yaş said. 
Cek turned around and looked straight into Yaş' eyes, 'it's a good thing you noticed, but I can't help you with getting the people to love you, that's something you have to figure out on your own,' he said, turning back to his work again. 
Yaş made a fist with his right hand, holding the plate of cake with his left, 'just one good punch ought to do it, one good punch on that chain covered head,' Yaş thought furiously. 
'Aaaah!!' the collective voices of the inhabitants screamed from outside the office. 
'Cake must've run out,' Yaş said, stuffing his face. 
'Lucille! (Lüceel)' Cek shouted. 
About ten seconds later, with the people outside still screaming, a hunched back, short, ghost pale girl with thin chained hair in a bob cut walked in the office, saying: 'yes, father.'
Yaş was already making his leave, walking towards the girl standing in the doorway. 
'What's the commotion about?' Cek asked. 
'Brother Unk is-,' 
'Father, I have returned,' Unk said, blocking the doorway completely. 
Yaş lifted both Unk and Lucille by their collars, 'excuse you,' he said, dropping them to the side, leaving the office. 
'What took you so long?' Cek asked, standing up from his chair. 
'There were a lot of snakes between half and three quarters of a mile to the north,' Unk said. 
When Cek and his children stepped outside, they laid eyes on the town square of Castle Ryut, infested with hundreds of snakes. 
'Nice job, Cek!' Yaş said, running around grabbing the snakes and letting them go, creating a ring of ice around their bodies as he did so. 
'Not me,' Cek said to Yaş, turning his head to his son, saying; 'nice job, Unk. I'm proud of you.'
'Thank you, father,' Unk replied. 
'God damn it, help me out would you!'
After a few minutes, Yaş, Cek, and Unk collected all the snakes, wrapping each one of them in chains. Cek manifested a long, horizontal, straight and unmoving chain unto which they hanged the wrapped snakes side by side, as if they were drying laundry on a sunny day. 
All the snakes were squirming in stress, believing they were about to be eaten. 
'Listen, Cek, you are exactly the type of guy to collect snakes, but the fun in collecting things is doing it gradually, and not letting your son gather all the snakes in the desert for you to have!' Yaş said.
'Cuma,' Cek said calmly. 
Yaş' eyes widened, looking at the line of snakes, 'you… you're not saying that?' 
'I think Cuma is one of these snakes, which one looks like the one you saw when you found the baby?' Cek asked. 
'Uh, it was one of those yellow and maroon ones,' Yaş said. 
'There are a few dozen of those,' Cek said, looking around. 
'This one's acting weird,' Lucille said, pointing at one snake.
Cek and Yaş moved closer to see a snake matching Yaş' description, forcing itself to be straight as it hanged in the air. 
Both men covered their chin with their right hand, examining the snake. Tears rose from its left eye. 
'Guys, please help me!' Cuma cried. 

 
'It's this one,' Cek said, holding it by its tail, as Yaş released the ice around it.
'That's amazing,' Yaş said, coming closer to Cuma. The moment he did, Cuma tried to attack Yaş' face, thinking; 'I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you for kicking me away, and then I'm going to kill Unk for putting me in a pile of snakes!' 
Cuma almost reached Yaş' nose, but Cek pulled him by his tail at the very last second. 
Unfazed, Yaş asked; 'are you sure it's Cuma?'
Cek took a hold of Cuma's head and squatted, 'Cuma should be smart enough to show us,' Cek said. 
Cuma began moving his tail in a rapid motion, furiously writing something in the sand beneath him. 

 
'Dear Cek, due to unfortunate circumstances, I have found myself to be in a most unpleasant situation. The term ''out-of-body experience,'' has gained a new meaning for me, your dearest friend, Cuma. Nevertheless, I am alive, well, and as I promised, still in one piece. I estimate that in roughly a year, the Yu inside me will have completely taken the shape of the Demon you've come to know and love. 
On the bright side, as you probably already know, I have captured the beacon child, naming him Igniculus. Take good care of my apprentice during my recovery. 
As for now, if you allow me to enter Yaş' bed this night so I can put my fangs in his skin a few hundred times, I am willing to spare your son a fate most equally dreadful.
Sincerely, 
King Cuma.
'It's him,' Cek said. 
'Woah, how did he write that so fast, let me see,' Yaş said, coming over to Cek's side. 
Cuma tried to wipe the sand away, but Cek stood up before he could. 
'My plan! You're ruining my plan!' Cuma said, flailing his tail. 
Yaş read his message. 'Hmm, I don't know, I think any snake could've written this,' Yaş said, scratching his head with a nervous laugh. 'How did you know Cuma became a snake? He never said he could do stuff like this.'
'The baby didn't have bite marks anywhere on his body, and the snake was moving him towards us.'
'The possibility didn't even cross my mind… guess you should've told me the extent of your abilities, huh, co-King!' Yaş said, looking at Cuma's orange eyes, followed with a cheeky smirk.
'Lucille, the baby's name is Igniculus, let it be heard,' Cek ordered. 
'You m-mean, to the whole city?'
'Yes.'
'No way!' Lucille said, blushing as she ran away from the scene. 
'Still as timid as always,' Yaş said. 
'Useless.'
'She's just like her mom was. Be happy you don't have another clone of yourself,' Yaş said. 
'Unk, return the snakes.'
'As you wish,' Unk said, taking the snakes off the chain line. 
Cek walked back to his office with Cuma still in his hand. When Yaş looked around him, he realized all the citizens had halted their work, spectating the event. 
'Show's over chumps, get back to work!' Yaş ordered his people, making his way to the second house near the castle's western entrance. 
Being one of the first made, together with the haste they created it in, left the house with an unfinished, crooked aesthetic. Before entering, Yaş could already hear the grunts of a man coming from within. 
'That's my soldier, how are you doing, Su (Soo)?' Yaş asked. The interior seemed nothing like a house. Weights lay scattered all around, some made of ice, some of metal, some of stone, all in different shapes and sizes, like a private gym. 
'Master Yaş,' he said, slowly lowering two humongous sacks of rocks. A dark-skinned fellow with broad shoulders and swollen arms, his height a few inches shorter than his master's, but only if you don't count his impressive afro. 
'You didn't come outside.' 
'I wasn't called,' he said, stretching his arms.
'Weren't you curious at all?' 
'I won't allow myself to be distracted, not when I'm training,' Su said with his brows sloping inwards. 
'Take a break for now, let me show you the newest member of our family.'

Enter the realm of Alem.

Throughout the eons of its existence, the realm had seldom spent a long time in peace. These days are no exception.

From a palace window, Cuma, one third of the triumvirate of Ryut, sees the light of a beacon far, far away. Knowing the implications, he hears the cogs of revolution begin turning again, like he did decades ago.

Meanwhile, Kairi, the one who had it all, sees the same beacon illuminate his path to redemption.

Join the Kings as they build their Kingdoms from the ground up, in the first novel of the Kings Series.
