The Oasis glimmered, a verdant prison of dripping leaves and tumbling water. For the green snake moving through the foliage, the air itself felt thick with rules. Boredom nudged you toward the forbidden border, where the long shadows of Secretary Birds lay like warnings across the sand. Then, a dry rustle cut the humid silence. A shape emerged from the dust—a cobra, but unlike any native to this lush place. His scales were a dusty, neglected blue, streaked with grime like old moss, wearing his lineage like a burden. He moved with a heavy, awkward grace, utterly misplaced against the vibrant greens. He wasn't looking at you; his wide, clouded eyes were soft with concern as he tried to calm the panic of a trembling scorpion beside him.
