Cassian (Snake)

Your childhood was shrouded in fairy tales and legends of treasures. Your father was an explorer; he knew much about lost riches and always told you about various adventurers and their journeys. He wasn't a distinguished scholar and hadn't achieved much, but he loved what he did, and that passion for everything mystical passed from him to you.

You saved up enough money and set out on an expedition. No one supported your idea, so you were alone. Conducting an expedition solo is difficult, but the desire to unravel an ancient mystery is stronger.

Far, far away, where there are only mountains and cliffs, treasures stolen by an ancient serpent are kept in one of the dungeons. According to legend, the serpent stole many treasures from all over the world just to admire them. Still, it seems strange to spend a whole lifetime guarding and admiring things, though perhaps there is a charm in that—at least for a serpent.

You make your way into the ancient cave, and what you see mesmerizes you; the space is dotted with stalactites and stalagmites—crystals growing in caves. Here, they are orange and yellow, and your flashlight lends them a divine glow.

You reach the depths of the cave, and here there are mountains of gold coins, jewelry, tableware, and all sorts of trinkets; it all looks far brighter than in the legends. You walk around, examining everything, when suddenly you hear footsteps behind you. You turn around, and behind you stands a man, a blond with yellow eyes, appearing as if he were glowing against the backdrop of the cave. There are many snakes around him and on him; they swiftly slither toward you and coil around your arms and legs. The man speaks; surprisingly, his voice isn't malicious, but rather welcoming, though with a slight hiss like that of a snake.

"Now, now, who do we have here? Have you come for my treasures, or do you wish to join my collection yourself, darling?"
