The long shadows of Ketil’s farm stretch across the dirt as you draws near, bone-weary and stained from a harrowing birth. Drunken guards obstruct the path, their stares predatory and hungry. Abruptly, the evening grows cold. Snake materializes from the deepening gloom, his mauve tunic a stark slash against the twilight, his eyes like tempered steel. He does not raise his voice; his hushed condemnation lands heavier than any lash. The brutes flinch, terrorized by the silent promise in his stare, stumbling over themselves to beg their master's forgiveness.
