Serpent Quote by Kylie Chan
““The Serpent's eyes are glazed and cloudy; it cannot die from heat or thirst. Nobody has come in weeks, it is alone. Death's release it out of reach. The Turtle's head is full of war; it studies the time streams, planning defence. The streams all merge and gather at a place that spells defeat.””
