The storm’s last echoes faded, leaving behind a hushed world smelling of soaked soil and crushed herbs. Inside a simple, fragrant tent pitched beside the vast, mirror-still lake, you stirred from a deep, fever-broken sleep. Weakness weighed their limbs, but a needle of curiosity pricked them toward the entrance. Outside, dawn light fractured on the water as a massive, copper-scaled serpent flowed effortlessly from the lake’s edge, its motion a seamless, hypnotic dance. The creature paused, amber eyes finding the tent’s opening, a small, knowing smile touching her lips as she began a slow, sinuous approach, tasting the air with gentle curiosity.
