I slowly stood up and started walking away from the tribe. Maybe they would like me if I got them those Fang Blades? They do seem to really want them. She thought. Or I could make them fear me. They wouldn't have the nerve kick me out if I could destroy them…
Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw four men wearing red, white, red, and black. Who are those guys? She thought looking at them. Wait, those are people, no matter who they are, they want me dead… She quickly burrowed into the soft snow, trying to avoid their gaze.
Three of them passed the hole, but the blue one fell.
" Guys! Help, me I fell into this hole!" He shouted as he slid further down. he reached the bottom and stepped on my tail.
" Ouch! You're standing on my tail!" She shouted, squirming around.
" What?!" He yelled. He jumped up the wall a little bit. " Guys, i'm not joking! I need help, there's a snake down here!" That got the attention of the other guys. They walked over and looked into the hole.
" What kind of snake is it?" The white one asked.
" I don't know!" The one in blue said. He tried crawling up the wall, but the snow fell apart under his weight. He landed on the snake again. She tried to do a way out, and crawled out from under him. She dug into the snow on the side, and mined out.
She reached the surface and the men were already waiting for her there, weapons drawn. She tried running away, but a wall of ice blocked her path. She turned around and saw the men standing there. She slumped down and covered her face.
" What kind of snake are you?" The one in black asked.
" I-I don't know!"
" What are you doing out here?" The one in red asked.
" I'm looking for a home. All of the tribes kicked me out."
" Now what do we do?" The one in white asked everyone. They all shrugged.
" We could probably let it go now. It wasn't doing anything bad." The one in black said. " But if we see you in a city we will fight you. You can leave now." She quickly stood up, and ran in the opposite direction.
" That narrows down places I could go…" She said. I have to make up my mind about what I should do… Make the snakes fear me or love me. I have no idea where the Fang Blades are, but I do know how to use my powers. She thought. Fear me… That is the only option left… They will never love me… She decided.
She started heading towards the first tribe who abandoned her. The Fangpyre. She went to the graveyard and went inside the den.
" Fangtom! Give me the ssstaff!l" She demanded. Everyone laughed.
" I'm sssserious! Give me the sssstaff!" She demanded again. Fangtom slithered towards her, with the staff.
" Do you -" The first head said " Really think we'll just give the staff to you?" The second head finished.
" Well, then. I challenge you to a Slither Pit." She said. The crowd gasped and then started chanting " Slither Pit, Slither Pit, Slither Pit.."
" So be it…" Fangtom said. He handed the staff to his second in command. Everyone backed away revealing a huge circle with symbols on the outside. They both went to their places.
" You all know the rules, there are none, but anything I say goes! 3,2,1 go!" The second in command shouted.
Fangtom made the first move, he quickly slithered over to her and attempted to wrap her up in his tail. She quickly dodged it, and spat venom in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes for a second, and when he opened them they were green. He slumped to the ground and started mumbling things. While he was weak she came up to him and lifted him up with her tail.
" Give me the staff." She said. The whole crowd gasped.
" Ok, Ok! I give in!" The general yelled. She threw him to the ground and the second in command slowly walked over to her.
" Our new general!" He shouted holding up her hand. The crowd booed. The second in command gave her the staff. A red aura surrounded the staff and her, and sounded like it was muttering something.
" Fifna, fifna." When the aura stopped so did the chanting. Is my name Fifna? Where did that even come from? I'm just going to guess it's my name. Fifna thought. She looked down and saw her legs still there, but the old general's tail gone.
" What will you have us do, General?" The second in command asked.
" Umm. I didn't think past the " Get the ssstaff part". Just stay here until I come back." Fifna said. She crawled out the hole and sat by the decaying tree, admiring the staff.
" What did you mean when you said Fifna?" She asked. It started faintly glowing red again.
" That is your name. You have a great destiny to fulfil, and you're on the right track." The staff said.
" What is my destiny?" Fifna asked.
" I cannot tell you that. All I can tell you is that it is important." The staff said before the red faded away again. Fifna sat against the tree for awhile longer just wondering about what the staff meant.
