Serpent Quest II

Asher and Serena exchanged glances.

"A twin-headed serpent shouldn't have that kind of ability," Asher muttered. "Something's off."

Serena nodded. "Could be a mutation. Or maybe something else is involved."

The village head looked between them nervously. "Do you still plan to go after it?"

Asher nodded, his expression clam "Of course. That's what we're here for."

Serena rolled her eyes. "We'll take care of it. Just keep your people inside tonight."

" You should rest and then go for it" Village head suggested as Asher shook his head " it's okay we are in our prime condition" he said as the Village head nodded.

With that, they made their way toward the riverbank.
