The Unlucky Ones
They were more mounds of gems here than in any room, stacked high in numerous piles that were practically overflowing with shimmering colour, and it wasn't just gems.
There were silver helmets and gold coins, some unique looking creature skins, and other shiny plant matter, the like I'd never seen before, like they were magpies, attracted to everything that glimmered, and it was curious to see all of their accumulated items.
Their wealth was a lot more than what I'd gathered prior, they had to have been making frequent trips outdoors, and I had to wonder where they had found all their items.
The two snakes looked rather proud of their accomplishments, and Typhon, who truly knew the risk of their actions, was upset with them.
I saw it as an opportunity. If these greedy snakes wanted more jewels, the stinky worm had tons in its belly just waiting to be collected. And so, I told them all about it, much to Typhon's disapproval.
