Two-shot: part 1: Born to the Snake

On the island, it was hot and humid, but in this dank cave in the bowels of the drifting island, it was too cold and too wet.

"Why am I doing this again. Oh, that's right, it's for you. Be thankful," the red haired archaeologist huffed, though only in jest. Her companion looked uncomfortable, as she was talking to her own round stomach. She was dress in the traditional archaeological ensemble, khaki shorts and vest, along with dark hiking boots and of course her hard hat. But the fact still remains, she was heavily pregnant.

"Mrs. Potter, perhaps we should-"

"I've told you many times Akhnu, call me Lily," the green eyed woman said snidely. Really it wasn't that hard to call someone by their first name. So what if it she was an acclaimed archaeologist and Akhnu was only an intern. She was more comfortable if people who worked with her were more friendly.

"Yes, apologies Lily, perhaps we should leave… The villagers, they said-"

"I know what they said, but this is a once in a life time opportunity. No one has been able to document these ruins. And they won't be here for much longer with how much humidity and water ways that are developing through these tunnels. That added with the fact that this island will be drifting to uncharted waters soon, it will be too dangerous later on or it will be too difficult to find."

"Yes ma'am…" Akhnu sighed, and then mutter under his breath, "This is a job for a hunter…"

"I heard that. We can't just give all the credit to hunters. After all us, ordinary folk have to make discoveries as well!"

Ordinary? Lilith Potter is anything, but ordinary, Akhnu thought.

Little was known about Lilith Potter, as she was a new character in the archaeological world. All they knew was that she is a bright young woman, who married to James Potter, an elite aristocrat of a small country. (James is currently fighting in a civil war and otherwise occupied. )

Prior to her marriage, she was the adopted daughter of Samuel Kurita and Chloe Kurita, both now deceased. She was instantly accepted into an elite university due her intellect and attended it from the tender age of 11 all the to age 15. This was where she met James for the first time. He at that time was 9 years her senior. But after 4 years of schooling together they parted ways.

Lilith pursued an archaeological career while James took his father's seat in legislation. They later met one another again when Lilith was presenting her findings to a live audience in the capital of his city. For one so young she had the audience enraptured, listening to her every word, watching her every movement. Lilith had just turned 19 and soon after they were married.

"Come along Akhnu, no more day dreaming. The sooner we get this done the sooner we can leave. And I could use a good soak!" Her ankles were aching something fierce.

Akhnu broke from his thoughts, She's right, if we don't finish this soon, we'll be stuck on this island for who knows how long. It-It might even drift closer to the dark continent! And he got to work archiving her findings and observations.

Normally people wouldn't know what the dark continent was, but Lilith was an expert on it, and she herself had hoped to one day go there, but that was before she married James. Now she had to settle down, if not for her, but for her little one.

Both archaeologist and assistant had started to go further down the tunnels, towards drier areas of the caverns, but they soon reached a fork. Akhnu had suggested they stayed together, but Lilith explained that if there were artifacts in either cavern, it would take twice as long to do so. And they would miss the opportunity to document tunnels ruminants. They really couldn't play with time, seeing as they had stayed on the island for approximately three days already, with which it took over a day to convince the villagers to let them proceed into the caverns... Then the elder had to say their island usually drifted away after 3 days, and who knows where they'd end up.

"Fine, fine, but if anything happens, yell…"

"Will do!" Lily grinned innocently, her green eyes gleaming with excitement.

Sigh, she's really too reckless. Akhnu shook his head and headed down the right path. Lilith had already bound down the left.

After an hour or so of walking Lilith arrived at the end of the tunnel without finding a thing.

"A dead-end… Hmm…" She looked at her surroundings, Maybe Akhnu has found something… And just as Lily was about to turn back, she was bombarded with a green flash of light. It surprised her so much that she took a tumble. She fell on her hands and knees, to protect her stomach, but it still agitated her enough to cause her eyes to change… Something no-one knows but her parents and of course her husband.

Her biological parents were from a clan with unique eyes. But they, her parents, didn't have them. So they were allowed to 'leave.' In a layman's terms, they were castaways. Along the way they had Lilith, but tragedy took place and they had lost their lives. A kindly couple with no children of their own adopted Lilith, and funnily enough their surnames resembled that of the clan that Lilith was from.

Kurta. Kurita.

The Kurita couple found out about her eyes one day when Lilith got really upset. Lilith was an intelligent little girl, and when the kids at her school made fun of her knowledge, even going as far as to steal her books, her eyes turned a fierce scarlet color. Luckily it was when she was at home that she vented out her anger.

Lily couldn't and still could not control her emotions, as they sometime just erupted from her. But she did remember, most of the time, to shut her eyes tight when she got angry. Sadly this was the one time she forgot.

Your eyes…

"What-what are you…?" The creature in front of Lilith was not man, nor beast… it was, an enigma.

I am, what you mortals call, an immortal… a god… chaos… The being hissed.

"What do you want from me… Let me leave," the red haired woman demanded. A barrier of light kept her from the only exit.

Such fire... And blood red hair, scarlet crimson eyes… yes, I very much want you…

"Want me?! For what!"

A mate.

"No! And as you can clearly see, I am pregnant!" Lilith screeched, hopefully loud enough to echo through the caverns to alert those waiting outside, and Akhnu. But even if they heard, would they arrive in time, and even if they did arrive in time… Would they be able to do anything to this-this thing…

It's no use woman… your kind can not hear you, and the people of this isle, all pledge alliance to me.

"So, you're the snake god they worship?" Lilith perked with interest. She couldn't help it, it was just the way she was, a scholar.

The being chuckled, and replied, That I am.

"Then you're ancient."

… You are bold…

"Thank-you." She chirped.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Its bellowing laugh echoed through the caverns.

Meanwhile, the boy stationed at the front of the caverns rushed to get the village elder and the leader. In the other tunnel, Akhnu was quivering in fear from the power radiating off the walls.

I must have you. The being glided forward.

"And I said no!"

…Perhaps we shall make a deal… I myself have given a similar pact to travelers to my home world.

"Home world…? The dark continent?!"

YESSSSSS….

"What- what kind of pact…?" Lily edge backwards.

If you become my mate, I will not kill your child… but you must leave it here…in this cave…

"What?! You sicko!"

Uh-uh-uh. If you rebel, you both die… and such a shame that will be…

"And- is there no other choice!?"

… If you do not become my mate… You will die… but I will spare the child… In fact… I will make her my own…

"That's even worse, you'll just mate with- her?" losing her wind, Lilith asked, "I'm having a daughter?"

Yessss, and a very strong one…

"Oh… and James was looking forward to having a son. Hahaha… It's really hopeless isn't it, either way I doom her…" Lily sobbed, "I really am a failure as a mother… I lost a child before, and now I'm going to lose another!" Darn these hormones!

I did not say I would mate her… I will make her my child… If you do mate me, the child will live, as I said she is strong… but for how long? Ssseeing as the villagers will want to sssacrifice her to me, for she will be born here, in my she is my domain. The being hissed directly in her unflinching face. The only emotion that seemed to leak from her were from her scarlet glowing eyes.

A life for a life… If I go with him, she dies… There's no way Akhnu can fight off all these villagers… I live, she dies… but if I don't… I die… and she'll live, as half an immortal?

Essentially…

"You can read minds!?"

…Essentially…

Will she be able to do the same?

Yesss…

Will she be able to- to go to the dark continent…without repercussion?

With a terrifying smile, it replied, YESSSSS…

I've made my decision And with scarlet eyes glowing in the dark cavern, a baby was born.

The village elder, a tall man with white markings, came to the fork. And there Akhnu was sitting at the mouth of the left tunnel, sobbing.

"What has happened?" The old man demanded. The other two with him seem unperturbed by his shouting, but Akhnu broke out bawling.

The elderly lady shook her head when her companions looked to her for guidance. But then she pointed to the left cavern tunnel and soon they were off, surprisingly nimble in their step.

They had just arrived as Lilith took her last few breaths.

"Child," the gray haired woman knelt down. Lilith handed over her child.

"Her name…it's Jon Potter… It-it sounds like Gon, right... and- and starts with a J like her- her father's…"

And those were the last words Lilith Potter née Kurita had utter to the older woman, before she departed from this world. But the child would never did learn her true name… Nor will she ever get to see her biological father. But perhaps... perhaps she'll meet this Gon...

The village elders did not allow the child to leave, seeing as she was marked by the snake god. Her green eyes had slit pupils instead of round ones like a normal human's. And Akhnu did not want to stay. He soon left, and when he arrived back on the main land, he found out James Potter had lost his life in the war. Jon Potter will just be a forgotten memory as Akhnu rose up in the ranks as a high ranking archaeologist, and soon after contracted an incurable disease that took his life and the secret to the grave.
