In a secluded and barren area on Earth, a malevolent entity crash-landed, sinking into the ground and corrupting everything around it. Dark ooze formed on the surface, transforming any plants or trees that dared to grow there into grotesque abominations. The evil continued to spread, reaching an unsuspecting human settlement and twisting its inhabitants as well. These new creatures, born from corruption, came to be known as Urakneas. They thrived on blood and raw flesh, either consuming it from other living beings or devouring one another in their insatiable hunger for destruction.

Eventually, I had to leave the settlement before they noticed that I wasn’t aging. I moved to a small hut I built not far from the village, where I settled alone. My daughter stayed behind, but she visited me regularly. Most of the time, life was peaceful and quiet.

However, there were nights when strange creatures attacked. These beings, who called themselves Urakneas, were monstrous. Their faces resembled beasts with massive, protruding teeth, and their eyes glowed a menacing yellow in the dark. They made pig-like noises, their skin was rotting, and they had long, clawed hands and feet.

The Urakneas only emerged at night, searching for the settlement to launch their attacks. Fortunately, they very loud beings and they weren’t very clever, so I could easily track and kill them.

I remember my first encounter with the Urakneas. It was late at night, and I was asleep when loud growls jolted me awake. I went outside to investigate and saw them approaching. I quickly retreated inside to grab my spears, which I had kept since the battle with the monster snake. They were already banging on my door when I returned. As soon as I opened it, one of the creatures lunged inside. I impaled it with my spear, and it let out a screech before collapsing. I did the same to the next two that followed. During the fight, the third one managed to wound my arm with its claws, but my rapid healing took care of it quickly.

The battle with the snake, was my first encounter with a monster. At the time, I just thought monsters were just another part of this strange world to me. It wasn't until later that I realized these creatures did not belong and it was up to me to eliminate them. After defeating the serpent, I found Jannay nearby, mourning her family who had been killed by the beast. I felt terrible for her loss but didn't know how to help her cope with such a tragedy. She clung onto me, fearing she would be alone again.

I embraced her and promised that I wouldn't leave her side. Deep down, I decided to take Jannay along with me on my journey, even though I had no idea where we were heading. We spent the night in the same cave I stayed at before, and she slept safely in my arms until morning came.

The next day, I ventured out to find food for us. Being unskilled in hunting, I gathered some fruit instead. After our meal, I made the decision that we should travel eastward.

I followed the little girl towards her settlement. It didn't take long to see an incredibly large snake with two heads. Much bigger than I had imagined, I could see how scared Jannay was. I told her to stay here and not come closer.

I ran toward the snake, part of me thought I must be crazy running towards a monster snake. That did not stop me though. As I entered the destroyed settlement, the snake immediately noticed me. It moved its long neck towards me, and one of its heads snapped at me before I could react. I remember its teeth chewing on my body; it was painful. But I died in a matter of seconds.

I found myself surrounded by darkness once again. Then, the next thing I remember is waking up on the ground. I assume the monster spit me out for some reason and did not swallow me. Maybe I didn't taste good. Ha!

I picked up some hunting spears lying on the ground next to me. I threw them at the snake, which hurt it a bit. But then it tried to attack mr again. Thankfully, my life as a thief made me quick and flexible. As I was running, I saw another spear with a bigger pointy stone head and thick wooden stick handle. It gave an idea; instead of just throwing it at the snake, I managed to get behind the snake and climb on top of it.

I climbed its long and slippery body up, the snaking did not help but I managed to reach the top of its neck. Then I thrust the spear into its neck where the two heads met. The snake began screaming and shaking, blood gushing out from the wound into the air and onto me. It struggled and threw me off, breaking my bones in the fall and causing me pain. Eventually, the snake collapsed and died.

Next something strange happened; its body evaporated as star dust, entering the sky where it formed a star constellation.

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.
