Imortel 10.000 BCE Chapter 1 Part 4

As I stood up and saw the little girl crying and screaming for help, I shouted for her to come towards me. She approached me, falling into my arms while still in tears, saying something about a big two-headed snake. . The child introduced herself as Jannay and told me her name was Nikal. . I tried to calm her down by holding her tight in my arms. I asked her name, and she told me it was Jannay. Then told her that my name is Nikal. I was not sure what to do, but I asked her if she could tell me what exactly had happened.

Jannay explained that she came from a settlement not far away, which had been attacked by an enormous snake with two heads.She had managed to escape, but she did not know what had happened to everyone else. I remained silent, thinking. Never before had I heard of a giant snake with two heads. Had this girl made up this story? But why would she? I did not know much about children at the time, since I was usually alone most of the time. Then again, the world was supposedly vast and filled with mysterious beings.

Perhaps it was time for me to face my fears and protect someone other than myself. Maybe I could help. If I could heal from any wound and cheat death, then I could fight the snake? Could it be that this was my chance to redeem myself for living as a thief? Of course, I had no idea if my wounds would always heal, and I can cheat death again.Finally, I took the decision to check out the situation. I told Jannay to guide me to her settlement. She was scared to go back, so I told her I am a strong woman and that I would protect her. With courage in my heart, I set out with Jannay to face whatever dangers lay ahead and protect those who needed help.
