Prologue[]
The northwestern kingdom of Zaneruk once used snakes as their royal symbol, but no trace of them had been sighted there in nearly a hundred years. This was not mere gossip; any foreign visitor could notice the furrows on the stone border markers where those engravings were removed. Snakes were utterly banned, including in pictures, carvings, ornaments, crests, and structures. It was even a grave crime to mention the animal's name, giving rise to the custom of tricking enemies into saying it.
The snake's taboo status was not because a new lineage had taken the throne. No coup occurred -- the present ruling family simply chose a replacement icon. The reason for this aversion was a sorcerer named Aja from a century ago.
He had discovered an illegitimate son of the crown in the slums and worked tirelessly to restore his rights. However, this new king despised him for knowing the ugly truth behind his origins. He effectively forsook Aja, wielding his authority to deprive him of any sort of reward, including the privilege of an audience. In response, the spurned sorcerer left the castle in a fury. He then released a thousand enchanted snakes into the nearby forest and sent a final message to the king.
"If even a single one survives after a hundred years, it will spell doom for Zaneruk!"
None knew what became of Aja. Some believe he expended all of his strength in enchanting the snakes and perished. Regardless, the king feared the magician's proficiency. He dispatched soldiers to search the land and offered rewards to civilians for proof of every snake killed. Within a year, not a single one could be found.
Nothing else of note happened since then. At last, a month-long feast was held at the castle to celebrate their release from Aja's curse, ending along with the hundredth year. However, that concluding night was exactly when tragedy struck...
Epilogue[]
The magician Aja cursed Zaneruk in response to the king's cruel treatment. If any of the thousand snakes he released into the forest survived for a hundred years, the country would be doomed. The fearful ruler decreed the extermination of all snakes, yet a single one found shelter within the hut of a blind girl deep in the woods...
......
That girl's name was Filrose. Her mother was a concubine who died during childbirth. When her father learned she was blind, he left her in the charge of a wet nurse and hid them inside the old forest cottage. The caretaker perished from illness after the girl turned five, but even though her father had stopped visiting by then, the young Filrose faced no difficulties thanks to a special friend.
It was small and slender like a twig, but smooth and cool to the touch. She felt its beautiful shape and knew it was different from the other woodland creatures. Despite being unable to talk, it was intelligent enough to bring her food and necessities. It was last Aja's snake.
Filrose never saw her friend, yet she loved it all the same. Since no person encountered either of them as time passed, she likely did not know the word 'snake' applied to it. Neither did she realize its mystical power prevented her from growing old. Meanwhile, a strong bond formed between the two, also planting a strange, violent sensation within her as the hundred-year mark neared...
......
On the final evening of the royal banquet, Filrose appeared as a dancer with the snake coiled around her shoulders. The first to react were the elderly guests, most keenly aware of the creature from their parents' stories. Shouts of that forbidden name sparked a commotion. Everyone present soon realized the harbinger of Zaneruk's doom had come, and the commotion grew into chaos.
Filrose gave herself to Aja's murderous urge, fusing with her lifelong ally to form a vicious monster. Blood flowed freely as they took lives in rapid succession. The regal guard managed to evacuate the king, but many officials and key figures fell victim. To protect the survivors, your party joined the struggle that continued through the night.
After some days of fighting, both her and the snake were defeated. While your brave efforts had saved the nation, innumerable monsters drawn by the snake's magic still roamed the castle. Eliminating them and repairing the damage needed considerable time. Aja's curse may not have succeeded, but it ensured that snakes would never be welcome in Zaneruk again.
