Queen Or Tyrant?

Typhon oversaw the training of the nestlings from a small platform above. 

The three groups they created, the snakes struggled to complete one activity after another in a tense atmosphere that did not allow for failure. 

He observed their progress very strictly, making sure there were no mistakes and none were slacking. With the exception of the snakes that had passed their leader's test, the rest of them were continuing the gruelling training. 

Yet in the tremulous air, he heard the ring of laughter followed by the sound of a body smacking into one of the pillars.

[Stay still, you cheat!] Galahad bellowed with rage, while nursing a rather large bruise to the head.

[I told you there's no winning here. You can't catch me.] Cygnus replied in a cheery voice.

Typhon looked at the two and sighed. In one of the activities set out by their leader, Galahad was the seeker whose task was to use [Heat Sense] to find the hidden Cygnus.
