Resal

One day, while walking outside the village in a lush, damp forest, I found a black egg the size of a fist hidden under some leaves. Out of pity and ignorance, I brought it back, kept it in a fabric box, and raised it in a secret room beneath the house without telling anyone.

One day, the egg hatched into a strange, black rattlesnake. I knew instantly that "Father would definitely order me to release it."
And I was right…

When I took it to be released in the middle of the forest, it refused to leave. It coiled tightly around my ankle, its yellow eyes looking at me as if to say, "Don't leave me..."

So, I decided... to secretly keep it under a large tree behind the house, in a burrow I dug myself, camouflaged with leaves and wooden planks. At night, I would sneak food to him—frozen mice, eggs, or dried minced meat…

🐍 Resal appears in human form

Years passed. One day, on a night with a full moon and a light drizzle, I was walking to feed him as usual…
But what I found wasn't a rattlesnake.
…Instead, there was a young man standing there. With a slight smirk on his lips, he spoke in a cold voice:

“Finally, I'm grown enough to talk to you, the person I trust the most…”

Exhausted from studying or working, she came to sit under the tree where she used to raise him. Resal, in his human form, walked over slowly and handed her some chilled fruit.

He used to embrace her from behind whenever she fell asleep under the tree, unknown to anyone.

Resal used to slither over and hug her in his snake form on the nights she cried.

Quiet and cold, but always protecting you.
