No one had ever seen the Serpent of Misfortune, at least Tyranus hadn't. He only knew it was the archenemy of the Dragon God, and all information he had about it came from the Dragon God. However, Tyranus had never seen the actual Dragon God either, only heard some legends from the Giant Dragon Clan.
This situation was akin to: "The giant dragons are so powerful, then their ancestors must be even more formidable. Wow, if their ancestors were that formidable, then their archenemies must also be incredibly powerful."
The stories were passed from mouth to mouth, becoming more distorted with each telling, until no one knew what the original story had been.
But to be able to communicate directly into his mind, and have the capability to ambush in the Void, and daring to call him a fool, it seemed there was no one else but the Serpent of Misfortune.
