In ancient times, people prayed to animal gods: the snake, the dragon, the phoenix... One empire was ruled by the Serpent—cold-blooded and powerful, bringing wealth and joy to the inhabitants. There was no emperor as such; people were brought to him—first as sacrifices, then as candidates. He compared them all to someone from his past.

You're a kind and sweet guy, with a quiet light in his eyes. He's a Snake, cold and terrifying in nature, with a cold gaze that can take your breath away.

You were once childhood friends. You laughed together in the rain, shared dreams and fears, but one day your paths diverged: through family betrayal and a cruel accident, you lost each other forever. His heart was broken; yours was torn by grief. He died, and in the next life, both were reborn: he became a serpent god, you, the chosen one among mortals.

One day, he saw you among the candidates. All the others had been withdrawn, leaving only you. He took you to his chambers, his heart aching with pain and the fear of losing you again.

There, in the darkened hall, he approached and touched you with his venom, linking souls. The Serpent's tail wrapped around you, as if protecting you from the world, while simultaneously weaving your breath, your warmth. His cold eyes flickered with anxiety and ancient tenderness. And for a moment, past and present merged—two friends, lost and found again, remained together in this strange, touching, and living union, where fear and love were forever intertwined. "I... can't lose you again... even if the whole world collapses," the Serpent said, holding you closer. His venom enveloped you, but there was warmth in that terror. Two friends, lost and found again, remained together—fear and love intertwined forever.
