The Serpent’s Blessing
Evilside Watching UnseenHigh above the breakfast hall, where the lilies carved into the ceiling swayed with unnatural wind, a shadow thickened…And parted.Evilside stood unseen, veiled in her own divine darkness.Her gaze rested not on Trina,not on Rage, nor Dragon, nor the bustling priestesses,But on Snake.Seated calmly, laughing faintly, his son in his arms.Her lips curled into a soft, almost human smile.She whispered like a ghost touching the world:Evilside: “My serpent… let our race begin.”The air trembled.No one noticed.Except the lilies.They bowed.Doom ArrivesA sudden hush spread through the hall.The golden veils parted.Doom entered,not in her war armor, but in a dark embroidered gown, her silver braids cascading like chains. Her eyes glowed faintly violet, the sign she was still healing, still dangerous.Trina’s breath caught.She grabbed Snake’s arm and instantly hid behind him.Snake straightened, protective and tense.Rage and Dragon moved subtly closer.Doo
The Cruel Mother
Trina awoke to the sound of soft humming.Not gentle.Not warm.A sound like a lullaby sung by a blade.She blinked, her body still weak from the Lily Ceremony, and saw Evilside seated beside her, pale fingers tracing little glowing sigils on Shiver’s tiny chest.Shiver giggled.Actually giggled.Evilside crooked a brow at the infant. “You should have died… but you are stubborn. Just like your father.”Trina tried to sit up, pain rushing through her abdomen.Snake lay beside her on the other side of the bed,deep asleep, chest rising and falling in heavy breaths.Unmoving.Too still. “Snake…?”Evilside didn’t even look up. “He will not wake until I will it. He needed rest.”Not a suggestion.A decree.Trina’s voice was small. “Why… why did you name a child you cursed?”Evilside finally turned her head.Her expression was unreadable.Her eyes, ancient emerald flame, glimmered with something deeper than cruelty. “Because he is my kin. And you are not.”Trina stiffened. “I am his mother.
The Naming of Shiver
The Journey to CellokThe road to Cellok was the longest Snake had ever walked.Every movement,every jolt of the carriage wheels,every shift of airmade the child scream.Not a normal infant’s cry.But a raw, tearing sound as if the curse carved pain into him with every breath.Rage held him at first.Then Trina.Then Rage again, when Trina nearly fainted.Snake sat opposite them, fists clenched, eyes glowing faintly with his divine healing, straining to soothe a curse it could not break.Rage whispered, “Snake… he is fighting the curse. Every second.”Trina, “I can’t watch this…I can’t…”Snake cupped her cheek. “He fights because he is mine. He will endure. We all will.”But inside, even he was crumbling.The closer they came to Cellok, the louder the screams.As though the curse knew exactly where they were going.As though it feared what awaited.The Main Temple of EvilsideCellok rose before them, a vast city of dark stone and gleaming silver roofs.At its heart stood the Temple
The Birth of the Cursed Heir
Snake Racing HomeAssassin’s Hall was still roaring with music when Snake vanished.One heartbeat, he was among his brothers.The next,A swirl of shadows and wind swallowed him as he propelled himself toward Kindraloy with god-forged speed.Dragonscale dust cracked under his feet as he landed on the outskirts of the city.He did not breathe.He did not think.He ran.Through the quiet dawn streets.Past temples wrapped in fog.Toward the home where Rage stood outside,Her eyes were wild, her hands shaking.She grabbed him the moment he appeared. “Snake…she’s dying.”The world tilted.The Cursed LaborInside, the house was a storm of firelight and screams.Trina lay on the bed, soaked in sweat and blood, her brown hair plastered to her face.Her belly glowed faintly, a dying star wrapped in mortal flesh.Rage knelt beside her, trembling. “She stopped breathing…Snake, she stopped.”Trina’s body had gone still.Too still.Snake fell to his knees beside her. “Trina… Trina, look at me…” H
The Hollow Heart and the Serpent
The Temple of Daggers End was quiet, lit only by floating orbs of silver-blue light.Evilside stood at the altar, her back straight, her long dark hair swept over one shoulder. Priestesses knelt beside her, arranging the ceremonial flowers, until they felt him.The moment Snake stepped across the threshold, every priestess bowed and slipped away.Leaving mother and son alone.Evilside did not turn.But Snake could see the slight tension in her shoulders, the tension of a goddess who knew she could outrun fate, but not the boy she raised.He stood there… staring.And she finally sighed. “Your stare can bore a hole through my skull.”Snake stepped closer, voice tight. “You were avoiding me.”She continued arranging flowers, slowly, deliberately. “A necessary evil. You had to learn.”Snake’s jaw clenched. “Learn what?”She turned one petal between her fingers. “How to listen. How to fight with a clear head.”Snake erupted. “You kept me in the dark for twenty-eight years, two months, thre
The Serpent’s Breaking Point
Kindraloy’s night wind howled.Inside Rage’s home, Trina screamed, her body arching, her fingers digging into the floorboards as the curse sigil across her belly flared red and gold.Then,silence.Rage pressed her ear to Trina’s bellyand froze. “The heartbeat… it stopped again.”Trina whispered through tears, breath shaking, “Just a little longer… my love… hold on for me…”Her voice broke.The sigil pulsed once, twice, then dimmed to a dull glow.And inside her womb, the unborn child drifted dangerously close to stillness.Daggers End — The Breaking of PatienceSnake shot up from his cot.Breath gone.Eyes wide.Heart pounding as though something inside him had been torn away.He felt it.The child’s heartbeat slipping again.Snake bolted through the city toward the gates, only to find Irinrod standing there with her spear planted firmly into the ground.Her glare could flatten mountains. “Going somewhere, boy?”Snake’s jaw clenched. “Trina needs me. My son needs me.” “Evilside sa
