Within the twisting caverns of the Outlands, assembled under one roof, bats, scorpions, and spiders alike work on building the key to their success, with one already done. In the distant caverns, a roar echoes about, shaking the ground and causing some to fall off balance. This is the Lion Beast, haven been captured by the crawlers, he now roars while trying to get free of the ropes hanging around him. Two scorpions are left screaming when they're pulled right to the beast, who roars them away all the way back to Scorm's feet.
"Again!" Scorn spat annoyed, tired of the constant interruptions to his work. "Don't worry boss, we almost got its armour off," Scutter reassured him, confident in their success. Scorn did not share this confidence, rolling his eyes before saying, "Forget the armour! He'll never escape from here. Come on, general Scolder has something to show us." he said slyly, ushering the underling away.
While they walk away, the legend beast continues to try to get himself free. Scolder then rides in with the first completed sample of their labour, an Outland Speedor! He eagerly presents it to Scorm, pleased with their work, "Pretty." Scrug said transfixed, before grunting as he was hit with Scorm's tail. "Not pretty! Try powerful, fast, dominating!" Scorm exclaimed, laughing maniacally before saying, "The fun is just beginning."
Meanwhile, out in the open skies, the eagle legend beast flies around and gives out a distressed screech. From inside the lair, Lavertus spectates the eagle with his telescope, "It's the eagle legend beast. She's been there all day, just... Circling." he informed the others, Laval takes the opportunity to look through the telescope. "Strange. It's like she's in pain. Why won't she fly away? Hey, Eris! Do you think? - Eris? Has anyone seen, Eris?!" he began to ask, before noticing the absence of his eagle friend.
Out on the skies, Eris flies to her legend beast, "Legend beast, is everything okay?" she asks it caringly, her tone full of concern and worry for her fellow eagle. The large eagle screeches, pointing Eris to a long rock on a pillar holding on each end some eggs and the bear legend beast whom is fast asleep. "The scorpions, spiders, and bats did this! But how?!" Eris asked baffled, the legend beast whistled an explanation. She recounts how she had heard the bear beast roaring while he was dragged away in a net, and how she went to help only for a bat to come and steal the eggs while they were unprotected. How she screeched distraught, not knowing what to do as the bear roared as he was taken through the sky.
"I see, they captured the bear, and flew him up here with their bat flyers? And when you tried to help, they stole your eggs from your nest?" Eris confirmed to herself, mentally walking through the events. "You poor thing..." she said sympathetically, as the eagle beast let out a sad whistling. Sensing the pain from her tribe's beast, Eris went to comfort her. She suddenly screamed as she was shocked by touching the beast's beak, as an unknown energy flowed through her, she got chi'd up and flew back to the base.
Inside the lair, Eris gathered the others and informed them of the situation. "It's some kind of giant seesaw trap, with two eagle eggs here, and the bear legend beast here," she explained, having spotted the trap from afar. "Very interesting, yes? You grab the eggs, then seesaw tilts, bear go smash!" Razar says pondering, while Eris gasps and starts shaking in fear at that possibility, "Move the bear, seesaw tilts, eggs go smash!" Razar finishes his point, slamming a fist on his palm for emphasis.
"Ah! Uh..." Eris cries surprised before composing herself, "There's no way to save them both." She states accurately, with a defeatist tone. "Without the SMASH!" Razor is quick to add, startling the eagle again. "AH!" she cries, before presiding to sobs in fear with Laval giving Razar the serious look.
"What? Is it something I said? The "smash" is a problem here, yes?" Razar asks dumbfounded, not seeing the problem while Eris silently screams behind him. Seeing one of his closest friends in distress Laval went to comfort her, "Don't worry, Eris! We'll save 'em! Maybe Bladvic has some ideas on how to save the bear beast. Bladvic?" he asks the bear, not hearing a response, he turned to see Bladvic snoring while he's pushed slightly by Woriz to wake him.
"Is he napping AGAIN?! All I ever wanted was to find my wolf beast, but I did NOTHING! Bladvic's bear beast is right there! Waiting for him! AND HE JUST SLEEPS! It's not fair! Sorry team! But I need some time to find MY beast!" Woriz snaps before he leaves abruptly.
"Woriz?!" Laval calls out to him, trying to follow before Gorzan blocks him. "Dude just needs some chill space, we'll be fine without him for this one," he told him, knowing that sometimes the best thing was to give your friends some space. "Okay, but still! Shouldn't we... WAKE BLADVIC?!" says Cragger, yelling in an attempt to wake up the bear.
"Loud sounds don't work on bears." Laval reminded them, "You have to talk, very softly." He says, whispering in Bladvic's ear. "Huh?! What?! Who's shouting? I know about my bear! The dream, we all know! Now, find the secret garage and let me get some sleep..." he says rapidly before he falls on the ground snoring.
"Huh? Do you have any idea what he's talking about with this dream?" Laval asked, baffled by the bear's ramblings. "And a "secret garage"?" Cragger asked, curious as to what he could be referring to. "Uh... Yeah, about that. I might've had the bear beast over here once or twice to help me with something in my secret garage, but I don't know how Bladvic knows about that." Lavertus told them, just as confused as the others.
"Wait, you have a secret garage?" Laval asked with intrigue. "Well, yeah. I was going to tell you about it sooner or later. Didn't want you to get too excited." Lavertus responded in his usual cheeky way, before ushering towards it."Why would we be, excited?" Cragger asks, not quite getting it, but following nonetheless.
Lavertus opens the door, revealing a large room housing a giant lion-styled flying machine. "Dude! You got a wheely dude?!" Gorzan exclaims in his unique way. "Holy razoly! Had I known about that, I would've stolen it ages ago." Razar asks, awestruck at what lay before him. "Yeah, well, the power of golden chi can help you build a lot of things." Lavertus told them matter-of-factly, "Plus some "borrowed" parts from our serpentine neighbors." he added with a cheeky grin. "I call this, the Wind Shadow," he tells them grandly, letting them all bask in its glory. "You mean like ShadoWind but reversed?" Eris points out dryly, taking some wind from his sails. "Hm... Never thought of that. Or did I?" Lavertus responded, in his iconic way, much to an annoyed Cragger's grumbling.
Outside, Lavertus and some others fly towards the seesaw, while everyone else is left on land. The raven legend beast crowing with urgency, letting the others know the severity of the situation. "We don't have much time to save the beasts. Meet us at the seesaw trap!" Laval says as Cragger, Rogon, and Gorzan leave on top of their legend beasts, Woriz being left behind with Rinona.
In the sky, Laval takes a moment to talk with Bladvic, "It'll take a while for the others to reach the seesaw trap. Until then, it's just us here, so I'll need you to stay alert, Bladvic. Bladvic?!" he says, turning back to a groggy bear. "Sleep saw saw..." he mumbles before falling asleep snoring on his seat. Sometime later, the flying group finally reaches their destination, the eagle legend beast screeching in distress.
"Don't worry legend beast! We'll save your eggs. And the bear too." Eris tells her in a reassuring tone, hastily adding the last part. "Yes, my friend. We shall try a little trick we thieves call, the snatch and switch, yes?" Razar tells them confidently, the eagle and raven legend beast whistling and crowing in understanding. "Strange. No guards anywhere." Lavertus points out, surveying the surrounding area suspiciously. "Let's hurry before they get back! Just bring us a little lower." Laval tells him urgently, not wanting to be caught up in a fight with these stakes.
Lavertus lowers down his Wind Shadow, Laval taking a moment to wake his Ursus friend up, "Bladvic! Wake up!" he whispered to his ear. "I'm awake," Bladvic says suddenly, rousing up from slumber. "We have to time this perfectly. Eris and Razar will grab the eggs, then we'll jump down and use our weight to keep the slab balanced." Laval explains carefully, turning to see his partner snoring. "Do you understand?!" Laval whispers once again, needing to confirm with the bear. "Huh?! Oh yeah! Course! Keep the rock balanced! No need to shout, Laval." Bladvic blabbers rapidly, a hint of annoyance in his tone, much to his friend's amusement.
Once they get low enough, the eagle beast grabs one egg from the slab and Laval jumps down to keep it steady. The raven legend beast follows suit, crowing while it grabs the other egg, Bladvic jumps down to add the weight to the balance, but it's a little bit too much. "You're heavier than me! We've got to adjust the balance!" Laval says panicking, as they run in one direction, "Woah! Too much! Back up!" he says as they go the other way, but Bladvic goes too far. "Not that much!" Laval says urgently, slowly stepping sideways with Bladvic, "Small steps. Slowly... Steady... Steady..." he says, as the rock slowly begins to settle, the two sighing in relief. "You guys okay?" Eris asked concerned, unsure how her friends were doing. "Yeah! We'll be fine! Just take those eggs back to the lair where they'll be safe!" Laval reassured her, urging her to carry on with the mission.
While Eris and Razar leave with the eggs, Laval turns to Bladvic slowly explaining what to do, "Okay, Bladvic. We're gonna move slowly towards the beast. So we can strap him up and have Lavertus lift us all out of here. But first, we need to add a little more weight to our side to keep the slab balanced as we move." he said, making sure his partner understood before carrying on. "How much you need? I got rocks, tools, even your speedor." Lavertus said, flying closer to the ledge.
"Let's start with the light stuff and then work our way-"Laval starts before the bear legend beast roars as he rolls over and almost falls off the slab while sleeping. Screaming as he tries desperately to balance, "The beast... Moving... Too much! Can't keep this up!" he cries out, struggling. "There's only one thing to do!" Bladvic said with resolve before he fell asleep and caused the slab to get a little balanced. Baffled by his companion's action, Laval just looks on before yelling, "YOU'RE SLEEPING?! NOW! NO!"
Meanwhile, back outside Lavertus's base Rinona walks over to Woriz, the wolf working on something. "Woah! Is that the mother tooth?" Rinona asks in awe, staring at the sparkling tooth. "None of your business!" Woriz snaps defensively, carrying on with his work. "Uh... Isn't that the wolf's most sacred relic from the mother wolf that started your whole tribe? And you're tying it to a periscope?" she asks, confused by the wolf's odd actions. "I have my reasons." Woriz responds nonchalantly, securing the tooth to the periscope. "Ooh, ooh! let me help!" she said eagerly, rushing inside and accidentally swiping the periscope right into Woriz's face.
"Ah!" Woriz cries out in pain, rubbing his hurting cheek. "How's that? Is the tooth secure? Let me try again." Rinona innocently calls out from inside, as she hits him again. "Please! No more!" Woriz calls out, pleading in defeat. "What's that?! A little more?" she says, not having heard him well, hitting the poor wolf so many times that he's sent flying down screaming and growling in annoyance.
Back on the seesaw trap, the slab continues to slip sideways, Laval desperately trying to keep it steady. "Woah! Steady!" Laval says, walking the other way, and suddenly the slab is balanced. "What happened?" he asks suddenly, before looking down to a greeting Gorzan.
"DUDES!" he says excitedly, while the gorilla beast helps to keep the slab still.
"When'd you guys get here?" Laval asks, relieve clear in his voice. "Just now. Rogon's rhino beast makes him a super-duper smarty horn, so he scored us, like this totally groovy shortcut." Gorzan explains in his typical chill style. While Rogon looks at a map and then looks towards the barricade of rocks holding a whole pond of water on the other side.
Suddenly, the gorilla beast starts hooting while struggling to keep the slab up. "I don't think we can mallow this mono slab forever dude. Any chance you can put some groovy in that bear beast?" he asks worriedly, not sure how much more his beast can handle. "You mean... Like get him to move? I think Bladvic is working on that, sort of." Laval said, unsure as he glances at the snoozing Bladvic mumbling in his sleep.
Deep within Bladvic's subconscious laid a grand void, a place where reality and fantasy become one, the bear dream world! "Uh... Big guy? You around? Y'know, when we bears sleep, we all share the same dream. Everyone else thinks just being lazy but we're actually really busy. It's our snoozing snooze. What's up, fellas." Bladvic says, suddenly finding some bears dancing with glowsticks, they don't seem to notice him though.
"Hm... They must be too far away to hear me, but your big guy, I've seen you in the dream before, that's how I knew about that secret garage. If I recall, you should be right over... ah!", he reminds himself, before finally coming across the large brown bear, fishing peacefully in the dream, "Here you are big buy. But you've gotta follow me, I need you to do a little, "sleepwalking"." he tells it, ushering for it to follow him.
Out in the waking world, the bear beast walks to the middle while sleeping, causing the slab to start shifting. "I can't believe it, Bladvic's getting the beast to move somehow. We gotta keep it balanced." Laval says amazed, before dragging Bladvic's body to the middle. "Lavertus, once we're all in the center, pull us off this rock!" Laval calls out to the other lion above.
Lavertus slides down a rope and hands over another one to Laval while whispering,"Got my Wind Shadow on autopilot. Just make sure you tie this rope tightly around the bear beast." he instructs carefully, so as to not wake up their tarkets. Unfortunately, he seemed to forget something, as Laval would helpfully remind him. "OKAY, BUT STOP WHISPERING! YOU'LL WAKE THE BEARS!" he yells out, startling Lavertus, who whispers a quiet "What?" before things break down. "Huh?! Who's making all that noise?! I can't guide the beast unless you stop waking me UUUP!" Bladvic yells in annoyance, as the beast walks back and causes the whole thing to go unsteady.
"Dudes! Can't... Hold... On!" Gorzan says as the gorilla legend beast hoots loudly as he struggles with the weight. Bladvic screaming as they go falling down with the beast and giant slab. Rogon sees that there's no other choice so he rides the rhino to the barricade of rocks. While Bladvic and Laval screamed, Rogon rammed into the rocks, and with one strike from its horn, the rhino beast unleashed the water that came flooding the whole area just in time, Bladvic, Laval, and the beast splashing into it and swimming up to the surface.
But Laval has trouble trying to float, "Too... Much... Water!" he gasps before holding his breath before he sinks, luckily Cragger comes to pull him out atop his own beast. "You always were a lousy swimmer!" he tells the drench lion, laughing while they head back for land.
Back at the base, Woriz and Rinona are still hard at work fiddling with the periscope."Anything?" Rinona asked, for what seemed the hundredth time that day. "Don't you have something better to do?" asked an annoyed Woriz, beginning to get caught up with his "assistant". "I'm just curious. How's that "mother toothiscope" supposed to work anyway?" she asks earnestly, invested in helping in any way she could.
With a defeated sigh, Woriz responds, "I'm not sure exactly. Legend says the mother tooth shall be our light in the darkness, it shall show us the way." he said, almost prophetically in his reverence and faith in the old stories. "How's it do that?" Rinona asked confused, not sharing the same level of understanding as the wolf. "Don't know, but I thought I'd give it a better view. Let it have a look around, y'know?" Woriz said truthfully, not really knowing what he was doing.
"Uh... You do know it's just a tooth? It can't "see" anything." Rinona points out logically, seeing some flaws with this plan. Woriz just growls in annoyance and swipes the periscope right into Rinona, causing her to fall. "Woah! Woah!" she cries out in pain, while Woriz laughs at the irony of her comeuppance.
Back at the seesaw trap Lavertus climbs back up to the Wind Shadow while everyone regroups on land. "Thanks for pulling me out, Cragger. There was a time not too long ago, I was in the creek and-", Laval began sardonically before Cragger stepped in, "I know. I left you. I'm sorry about that, Laval, I really am." He told him, truly heartfelt at his past actions. "Don't worry, even after all that, you're still my best friend." Laval reassured him happily. "Same here, pal! I just wish I can teach you how to swim." Cragger responded gladly, while taking a little jab at his friend.
"Impossible, I always sink." Laval told him, letting his opinion on the matter known."Nah! Water is like friendship, it only pulls you down when you fight it. Embrace it, celebrate it, let it flow! And it shall lift you up and carry you along to all the places you ever wanted to go." He says, pushing himself into the water and floating on his back. "One thing for sure, you can't live without water. Or friendship. Need some help there friend?" he finished smugly, giving Laval a cheeky smile.
Meanwhile, Gorzan is clinging to the rocks cliffs above the valley, avoiding the water. "Dude! You're the dude!" Gorzan cried from up top, sliding down the rock atop the gorilla beast and cheerfully hopping back to the shore, rejoining Rogon. "Dude!" he exclaimed gladly as he fist pumps Rogon.
Back with Laval, he kindly declines Cragger's offer, "Wise words, Cragger. But I'd still rather fly out of here than swim." he says as Lavertus flies over to pick him up, but suddenly they're shot at rapidly before Laval could even touch the rope. "Can't stop! Grab your speedor!" Lavertus cries out from the sky, tilting the Wind Shadow back, so the speedor comes flying out to Laval, allowing himself to fly away before being pursued.
Hopping atop his speedor, Laval turns to the others, "Bladvic, get the bear beast out of here!" he orders, as Bladvic and his beast exit the scene. "CRAGGER! SEE YOU BACK AT THE LAIR!" he calls out as Cragger, Rogon, and Gorzan leave, Laval doing the same until a whole bunch of bats, scorpions and spiders arrive, on Speedorz!
"No, way!" he says alarmed but sees that he can't be helped because Lavertus is too distracted and everyone's already gone. "Oh, don't get so surprised, foolish lion. Behold, my secret project! Now we have our own speedy wheely thingys too!" Scorm brags arrogantly from atop his new ride.
"You mean speedorz?" Laval asks knowingly, taking the winds out of his sails. "Uh... Right. That's what I said. We now have speedorz too!" he corrected embarassedly, before bragging once more. "Copycats!" Laval retorted back accusatively. "No! You're just jealous because ours are better!" Scorm said back to him, in his usual petty attitude. "Nah uh!" Laval said. "Yeah uh!" Scorm said back, ignoring how utterly childish they were being.
"Look, if you're here for the eagle and bear beast, you're too late, we already saved them from your lame trap," Laval said proudly, a smug look on his face. "Yes, I was counting on that," Scorm told him, a smug smirk on his face as he basked in his success. "Huh?" Laval cried out, utterly confused at the revelation. "We only trapped them here to keep you busy, while we build our speedy wheely- uh... Speedorz." Scorm explained proudly, reveling in the fact that he had utterly outsmarted his foes.
"Ah! So that's why there were no guards here." Laval said out loud, finally putting the pieces together. " Yes, who's the lame one now?" Scorm bragged, overjoyed at his well-laid plan. "You tell me. WHILE YOU'RE EATING MY DUST!" Laval said arrogantly before he revved up his ride. "Huh? I-I don't understand. Why would I eat your dust?" Scorm says confused before Laval takes off and blows dust in Scorm's face, leaving him and the others in a coughing fit. "After him!" Scorm cries out once the dust leaves his lungs, enraged by the lion's audacity.
Weaving through the treacherous twists and turns of the Outlands, the enemy chases after Laval down a rocky hill. A screeching bat comes close to catching him, before screaming as he falls off the edge of the hill. Some spiders end up crash landing while Laval rides off the hill and into the green mist where a bat and spider chase after him but end up clashing into each other and are pushed to the side.
Laval chuckles as he hears them scream before they crash, before another spider pursues him, nearly catching Laval when he comes up to a dead end of spikes. But the lion prince jumps over them and the spider shoots out some webs from his speedor at the spikes, forming a path for himself to ride on to the other side and continue after Laval. Joined by some more spiders, they start to shoot webs at Laval. He screams as he's about to get caught in a web but luckily dodges it by jumping a ramp. Undeterred the spiders go right through the webs and keep chasing him.
They're almost stopped when Laval tumbles over a tiny rock pile, but the spiders use their webs again like a rope to swing over past the blockage, where some bats join the pursuit. Shooting some more webs at Laval, only to have themselves tangled instead of their target.
Laval sighs as they crash into each other, before two scorpions go in between Laval and try to tail whip Laval, but miss. Laval goes behind them, however the scorpions wrap their tails together. "Ha! Nice try! But I love to limbo!" he says, leaning backward and ducking under the wrapped tails while driving forward. Thanks to their tails being wrapped together, the two scorpions crash into each other, each of them going around a tree.
While going through a gap, Laval is attacked by bats with two of them waiting on the sides. They scream as they jump towards him, but they're too late to hit Laval and crash into each other. Laval rides away safely and jumps a ramp, "Woohoo!" he cries out as he lands and comes to a stop. "Lions: 1! Lame-o's: 0!" he says confidently, bragging to himself.
"Oh, I think you'd better get a recount on that score." Scorm's voice says from behind, revealing a captured Bladvic and bear beast. "Bladvic? You had a head start! How'd they catch you?!" Laval questioned in disbelief. "Well, we stopped along the way. It was only for a short nap! You know how tired running makes us." Bladvic explained innocently, an apologetic look on his face. Laval could barely contain his annoyance, "UGH! NO MORE SLEEPING!" he yelled out his frustrations.
Scorm was amused by this display, "Now, this is fun. The snoozer and the loser." he taunted slowly riding towards them, "So, any last words before you get squished?" he said arrogantly. "No words," Laval says, as he shows an orb of chi from his bag, "Just chi!" he yells out, preparing to plug it in.
"NO!" Scorm yelled, sweeping away the orb with his tail, it dragging itself by Bladvic's feet who picked it up. "Oh! Thanks, Laval!" Bladvic says gladly, as he plugs the chi on his harness. "Bladvic, use the chi power to bust those chains! And the guards too!" Laval instructs with urgency. With a nod, Bladvic hops onto the bear beast and rips away the rope. "Okay! Here comes trouble! Ready? Haha!" he says, before he falls asleep snoring while the enemy laughs, Laval just sighing.
"Great rescue! This'll be even easier than I thought." Scorm says mockingly, before somehow, while the bears are snoring, rocks begin to fall from above. Not having realized this, Scorm continues on his tirade, "Prepare to feel our squish!" he cries out victoriously, while Laval looks at the bears and the enemy in surprise.
Finally noticing what was happening, Scorm cried out, "Snoring! Too... Loud! Make it stop!" he cried out, trying to cover his ears. "Wake up! WAKE UP!" Sparacon tries yelling at the sleeping bears, not knowing that it is a hopeless endeavor. Soon after, some more rocks fall towards them, larger than the ones before. "Oh no. We'll be squished!" Scorm cries out in terror, as most of the bats, scorpions, and spiders retreat, just barely missing the rocky avalanche behind them.
Looking on with a smile on his face, Laval walks over to Bladvic and whispers in his ear, "Thanks, Bladvic." Abruptly waking from his nap the bear happily responds, "Huh?! What's that?- Oh! Yeah! Like I said, sleep solves all." he said gladly, and for once Laval agreed as the two made their way to the lair not having to worry about anything, now that the enemy is trapped in a giant pile of rocks.
Later that night, the entire group was all assembled, the crew watched and listened to all the legend beasts they had safe so far roar happily. They were all glad at their accomplishments, well almost everyone was.
"Ugh, still no sigh of the wolf beast! I spent all day looking! Hoping the mother toot would show me the way, perhaps... Pick up the wolf scent. But..." Woriz says sadly, as he places the mother tooth on a stone, "Nothing." he finishes, dejected by today's events. "Don't worry, Woriz. We haven't found my lion beast yet either, but they're the only two still missing." Laval tries to reassure him. "And my father... I know he's out there, somewhere... I just wish I had a way to find him." Cragger adds, also saddened with his lack of progress.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them the mother tooth begins to glow mysteriously, as in a distant cave the wolf legend beast growls while it's stuck in the middle with ropes all around its body. "So glad you're finally taking it. That overgrown hound disrupted all my precious beauty treatment." Spinlyn complains, as her captive was hard at work on her.
"Oh yes, if it weren't for that beast you'd be so much more ravishing." Plovar comments, the sarcasm thick on his beak. "Just fix my teeth, pest." Spinlyn threatens, causing Plovar to get back to work, not needing a reminder of what is in store for him should he fail.
"These invaders are formidable. But we'll gather all our forces in the scorpion cave, and squish them once and for all." Scorm tells her, rejoining with his fellow leader, while ignoring her antics. "You sure they'll attack there?" Spinlyn questions, unconvinced by the scorpion's reasoning. "They still want their wolf and lion, and this sad creature," Scorm says, gesturing to a cage in the distance, some scorpions pulling from the darkness to reveal King Crominus!
"Release me at once! I am King Crominus of the crocodile tribe! The mightiest warriors in all of Chima! Shall find you! AND COME AFTER YOU!" he threatens his captors, lashing out against the bars of his prison. The wolf legend beast growls as it's forced to pull Crominus's cage, Scorm slowly walking towards it.
"I'm counting on it," he says wickedly, his laughter echoing across the cavern and into the night.
Author's Note:
And we're back! Just two more chapters before we finish season 2, and we finally get to the excitement of the final chapter. Now, before that, I want to answer some questions. First, the great devourer is still looked up in Ouroborus, so don't expect to see an appearance from her. Second, the Serpentine ARE connected to the Wyldness, and we will explore it in the next season. Third, I would be happy to add any fan character you have for the next installment, just make sure they're not too OP, and fit well with the established lore. We don't really have many known serpentine characters and they'll have quite the role in the next part.
And to finish, I have a question for you all. Would you rather I have the final part as a separate story or continue to post it here? Let me know, and I hope you enjoy!
