It is a tale, a tale about a female archer, with the heart of bravery and wisdom and a male trickster, with the heart of corruption and evil.
Born underneath the full moon in the sky, the god worshiped the strong female arch with gifts of kindness, trustworthiness, beauty, wisdom, and love. With the help of Sagittarius, Artemis' trustworthy archer, he gave her the skills of archery, to become an archer like her father and his father before him and his father before him. They were poor and had little to eat every day, but, they were proud to be poor.
But, on that exact day, a male newborn was born on the exact day as the female archer, in the house of the rich king and queen, with their hearts filled with greed and evil. Loki, the son of Odin and the god of trickery, gave him the powers of trickery like him, and to Loki's punishment of giving the powers to the baby, Odin cursed the baby into a naga, a half snake, and half human being. They accepted the gift and curse as a "special power."
As the years went by, the female archer becomes stronger and stronger each day, as she grew. She becomes more curious about the world outside of the village, wondering about the greedy people that have stolen the money of the village and the trickery son, grew evil and greedy at each year. Soon they were older, ready to move on with their lives to live on their own, the female moved out of her home, going to the rich village, in a wondering feeling of what lies within the village. But, as for the trickery son, he became the next heir of the line after his father has passed away from age, and he became the king of the valley, as a grown naga. When the archer came into the village, she was called into the kingdom, ordered by the king himself, and they met in the kingdom, for the first time.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my village without any notice?" he demanded. "I came here asking you a question," she replied calmly without hesitation to stammer. "What is the question?" he demanded. "And make it quick or else I might eat you." "Why are you keeping the money all to yourself?" she asked. "Shouldn't you give half of the money to other people so that they can buy food?" He instead laughed a wicked laugh. "You suspected me to give all of my money to the people?" he snorted, before laughing again, revealing his sharp fangs about a child's arm length. "You make me laugh." She stood up to her feet, and he replied, "Because it all belongs to me! You can't make me give it all to your stupid village! Take her away from my kingdom, and make sure she doesn't come back!" As she was pulled away from the kingdom, she declared a challenge against the king himself to an archery challenge. "An archery challenge?" he snorted, before laughing again. "I am the best archer in the kingdom!" She walked up to him, to his coil and replied, "If I win, you'll give me all the money that you have stolen from my village and your kingdom and leave the place forever. If you win, you get to keep your money, fame, and kingdom and devour me as a meal."
He stared at her eyes for a moment, before smirking and knelt down to her height, and replied, "That I can take as a challenge." On the day of the challenge, the rules were specifically no cheating and only stay on the line away from the targets without taking one step. The female archer just stood perfectly on her spot, as for the male, he was squirming around to get ready for the challenge. Then, the horn was blown and the challenge beings. The first one to shoot is the female. She readied her arrow with her bow and shoot perfectly in the middle of the target. "That is a cheap shot!" the male would shout from the other side of the female. After two more shots, she finished her share and turned to the male. "I am the best," he whispered in her ear. She brushed off the whisper and walked over to the chair and sat down, waiting patiently for him to compete. He readied his arrow and bow, aim perfectly and shot his arrow, only to his own shock, went two lines above the female's. He felt confused at first, but brushed it off and tried again on the next target, only get the same thing on the next target. The male begins to become furious about the strange magic. The male shot the arrow in the last target of the game and the same thing happened again on the last target.
"What is this magic you cast on your arrows?!" he screamed at the female. "I am not doing this, your majesty." she gently replied. "I never learned how to use magic in a long time." He snarled at the comment of her sentence and charged at her, was going to bite her with his sharp fangs, when she grabbed his last extra arrow from his quiver that he grabbed for a cheat to do, and she fired the arrow into his wicked heart, killing him instantly. Loki was enraged about his favorite and loved son was killed and vowed for revenge and the female was crowned queen of the kingdom with the village. But, after the crown touched the female's head, Loki, full of anger and rage, burst through the doors of the kingdom and screamed, in anger, "Why did you kill my son?!" The female calmly replied, "He was the first one to move to attack, I had no choice but to fight back." Loki became more enraged and pointed at her with his first finger and yelled, "The way you were, now change to who you are now!" She felt confused about the curse and before she could ask him a question, she winces from a strange pain in her heart and collapsed on the ground, groaning in pain as Loki continued to point at her.
People screamed in horror and tried to run out of the kingdom, trying to escape from the enraged god, but, eventually, the entrance was blocked by his pet wolf. The female's legs were forced together into a snake's tail and her teeth became sharp fangs and her steel blue eyes became slit pupils with pointed ears. Her forced together legs were covered with varieties of blue scales and her height doubled into a normal naga's size. The only thing that stayed the same is her beauty and her mind. After the transformation, she glanced at her hands, noticing the transformation of her skin color. On the back of her hands were light blue scales. Terrified, she glanced up at Loki and he smiled, before sending her down to a cavern below the kingdom, sealing her inside, as the kingdom collapsed, destroying the people inside, and Loki, was imprisoned because of his rage, and never was seen again. Now, if you were outside on the days of November 22nd and December 21st, you better be inside, before you get eaten by the naga of the night.
