Snake Quote by Lyn Thurman
““After her initial strike that knocked Apep’s head wide of his aim, Bast took her time shredding the snake’s skin and tearing chunks of meat out of it, until the life ebbed from its giant body. When she was finished playing, she took the ruined body in her mouth and dropped it at the feet of Ra, saving both the universe and Ra.””
