Fake Innocence

Lucivar was breathless.

He slumped to the ground weakly, the serpent became blurry in his eyes.

"Yes, another God," the serpent replied—its tongue hissing in excitement.

A smile then crept onto its face as it slithered, looking down at Lucivar who was already lying on the ground, "But, to awaken this God, you must complete a task from us. The opportunity, seize it, go beyond... and you shall be rewarded"

From those words, Thalia's face appeared inside Lucivar's mind.

She was the opportunity mentioned.

Just then, the serpent snapped its neck sharply and looked at the ceiling.

It was unclear what drew its attention away from Lucivar.

But whatever it is forced a reaction out of it and Lucivar saw this through blurred optics.

'Its face... the serpent's face... Is it angry? Concern? I can't really see'

He tried his best to make the serpent's features but couldn't no matter how much he tried.
