Gin is given another chance at life. How will Earthland handle Fairy Tails' new snake?

After his untimely death, the man named Alex finds himself reincarnated as a snake in a different world with a strange system called "The Evolution System"

Alex slowly finds out the mystery of the system from the lowly beginnings as a snake.

Third person's P.O.V

"It's a girl!" A young doctor exclaimed over the cries of a newborn baby girl. A mother with blonde hair panted in exhaustion and leaned back in relaxation, after 23 hours of delivery she had finally brought her daughter to the world. A father with black hair was just staring at the baby in awe as his hand was being bandaged up from his wife crushing it as the nurse cleaned up the baby girl.
After the baby was cleaned she was given to her mother who held her with a gentle smile on her face, the father his hands on his lover's shoulders looking down at his new daughter in his wife's arms.
'She so beautiful.' The father thought.
"What is her name?" The doctor asked.
"Kaiya," The mother replied, as her heartbeat on her heart monitor started slowing down, the father felt a frown making its way on his as he heard this sound.
"Oh my snake don't start frowning, we both knew that the pregnancy was killing me," the mother replied smiling at her lover as her heart rate kept slowing down, she handed the baby girl to the father who held her gently in his arms.
"You promise that you will keep her safe no matter what?" The mother asked, the father.
"Yes, my love," the father replied.
"Good and make sure she gets the scroll I wrote her," The mother said as her eyes started to close as the heart monitor flat-lined. The father back his tears of losing his wife. The baby girl then started cry, he managed to calm her down as the staff took the dead mother away.
'I'm going to miss you, my love.' The father thought.
**
After a day of observing that the baby was healthy. The father was jumping from branch to tree branch holding the baby close. He looked at his daughter snuggled in his chest. He knew it was safe to take the baby with him to where he was going and was taking her to the one place she would be safe.
He wished he could keep her and watch her go but the place he was heading wasn't going to safe, as much as he hoped to keep her he just couldn't risk her getting hurt.
'I love you and want to keep you but it just isn't safe. Maybe one day we can be together again. I just can't take you with me.' The father thought as he looked down at his daughter.
After a week of traveling the father had finally arrived at his destination, sighing he looked at his daughter in his arms cooing in wonder at the surroundings around them. Taking off his cloak he wrapped it around his daughter, he also put the scroll from his wife in the buddle and placed a small black box with a necklace in it next to the scroll. He placed his daughter at the gate gently kissing her forehead before disappearing, Kaiya then began crying as soon as the father left.
**
Izumo and Kotetsu we're opening the gates to Konoha as usual when they both heard something.
"Did you hear that?" Kotetsu asked.
"Yeah, it sounds like a baby crying," Izumo said. Kotetsu nodded his head in agreement, the two opened the gates and saw a bundle.
Walking over to the buddle they saw that inside there was a baby and they weren't just imagining things.  Kotetsu picked up the baby and rocked her in his arms making the baby stop crying. While Izumo looked at the scroll that was with her, but it had some seal on it that prevents him from opening it, so he opens the black box and saw a golden snake pendant inside. With the name engraved Kaiya S. On the back of it.
"We should report this to the Hokage," Izumo said, Kotetsu nodded in agreement.
**
The hokage was sitting in his office looking through his crystal ball watching a shadow figure standing in a tree staring at the gate before poofing away when there was a knock on the door, deactivating the crystal ball he said, "Come in." Izumo and Kotetsu walked in, Kotetsu was still holding baby Kaiya.
"Kotetsu and Izumo and who is this?" The hokage asked pointing to the sleeping Kaiya.
"We have no idea, sir, we found her at the gate crying," Kotetsu said.
"We think she was abandoned, there were this scroll and this necklace with her," Izumo said holding up the scroll and necklace up.
The hokage examined the scroll and the necklace and hummed knowing only one person who loved snakes. "Leave her to me you two, get back to work," the hokage said, Kotetsu gave the hokage the baby and left her, and headed back to the gates to do their work.
The hokage held Kaiya up wondering what he should do with her, then an idea struck him, he called in Kurenai Yuhi while waiting he tickled Kaiya smiling as she giggled. "Hey there I'm Hiruzen, your hokage but you can call me grandpa," Kaiya giggle as she tugged at his time sleeve.
The hokage laugh as Kaiya tugged at his sleeve when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." He called out and Kurenai stepped inside.
"Kurenai, I want you to take care of this orphan," he said, Kurenai was too surprised to speak, so she just nodded.
The hokage handed Kaiya to Kurenai and gave her the scroll and necklace and some money. "Good luck I expect to see her at the academy when she turns 7 years old," the hokage said having them off as Kurenai went to her apartment carrying Kaiya.
Kurenai brought some baby stuff like a crib, a monitor, diapers, formula, and a stuffed snake it was cute so she brought it to go with the necklaces, she took the stuff in a scroll and carry it to her apartment.
She put the stuff she brought in her spare bedroom room in her apartment putting Kaiya in the crib with her stuffed snake, smiling as she cuddles the toy with a smile. She then went to make a bottle of formula for the baby figuring she was probably hungry.
After the formula was ready she went into the bedroom and began feeding the baby and smiled. She was a single mother now and was going to do her best to raise baby Kaiya. She then looked at the necklace and was curious about what the S stands for. All she knew is she was determined to raise Kaiya into a wonderful person.

Kaiya was abandoned at the gate of Konoha by her father for her own safety. All she had was a scroll with a letter written by her mom and a snake necklace in a box with her name on it. She is brought to the hokage by Izumo and Kotetsu who orders Kurenai Yuhi to adopt her.

              Karen was very busy that day and  a package arrive from one of her relatives abroad, she had to receive the package and the deliverer need to take her picture as proof she received the package. She left Prince in the room with an open window to let the fresh air get in, Prince is playing with his new toys bought by Joseph. Joseph was busy because of the additional orders they receive for ripe mangoes delivery, their livelihood was getting in demand these days because  Joseph make it sure their product was sweet and fresh upon delivery. And his commitment to his customers for on time deliveries is always his priority, even to his own family's expense.
             " I'm doing this for you and Prince, you are my inspiration to strive harder to be able to give you a good life and better future for Prince", Joseph said when she demanded of his time that was spent mostly in the farm.
              " I find it hard to beleive you, what if you are just seeing someone in the farm that stole most of your time?", Karen accuse him.
           " Honey, please stop that, you know I trust you as much that's why whatever you say I beleive you so I also expect trust from you!", Joseph's countered  all of her accusations.  She felt her husband 's honesty but she just want to hear his  declaration of love over and over again, her irritating but cute attitude that never change. When the package deliverer left, she checked her son inside the room and she was just in time to see that a big hawk was inside the room and trying to kidnapped her son with the baby walker.
             " Prince! shewww! shewww! leave my son alone whoever you are!", shoving the hawk away Karen was almost crying in despair trying to jump up in the air, pulling the walker down. She find it impossible to beleive eventhough  the hawk is big as it is capable of kidnapping her son.
           Her son started to squirm and cry, maybe because of the fear in the sound of her voice.. Prince realize that he was being suspended in the air, might be  he was in  uncomfortable position or airsickness, as usual when he scream in desperation in his baby ways with his foot kicking in the air, in the process his color automatically changed, and the hawk seems astonished at the discovery like it had a mind of it's own, stare at the child and put down the walker in a haste and fly out of the room through the open window. She take her son out of the walker and  hug him very tight. Since that day she made it sure the window was close safely, since the day Prince was born countless  of unexplainable occurence happened that even Karen cannot fathom, that's why she always keep an eye on her son for his safety. Just like the other day his son was nearly beaten by a poisonous snake when she brought him outside in the lawn for an early morning sun, while she,'s watering the plants, the snake crawl in the direction of Prince, but luckily her cat kitty was around to protect the child. She is afraid of snake, she don't like the way it looks specially the slittered eyes that seems to stare at her in hatred. She saw it in the corner of  her own eyes how the snake crawl in her son's direction and kitty  scratch its back, then the snake look back at the cat then the cat seems like a statue  sitting just watching the snake, then when the snake move forward she will follow it again and scratch its back, and again the cat acts as though a statue sitting on her two hind legs when the snake look back .Obviously kitty was trying to delay the snake or simply challenge the snake for a play but she's thankful because of what kitty was doing the snake   lose its focus,  she put off the water and in a swift movement run at  her son and  took him inside and close the door. It was a cute moment for the cat and snake to watch at, but she was taken over by nervousness and  scares for her son's safety.  She don't know where the snake came from and goes after that, but she's glad kitty was there to interrupt all of the snakes bad intention.
             " I don't know why Prince life seems always being threaten, he is just a helpless boy at his age he cannot even walk on his own without the aid of a walker, after the hawk and snake, what's next?", Karen relay to her husband while they are in bed and little Prince was tucked in his cot  peacefully asleep.
            " That's why I'm glad you decided to stop working and take care  of Prince and me personally, thanks for the effort, love and care", Joseph said kissing her on the cheek.
          " I have no choice but to do that, besides I love what I'm doing! taking care two of my most favorite important family members, besides in times like this I beleive it is no good for any nanny being in the situation i've been through, for sure they will not stay long, and I also wanted to keep our son's secret out of other people's grasp, I hate to think of the possibility that he will be treated as a weirdo, that will create a big negative impact on his self esteem someday", Karen long explaination.
           " I love you more for that, my wife", Joseph look at his wife with admiration in his eyes.
           " What I'm wondering of right now is who are those that want our son dead?", Karen was really scared of the possibility that there are creatures who wants to eliminate their son, for what reason? she had no idea.
          " But of course I also want you to be vigilant of what was going on when I'm not around to protect you both, specially these days that  I spend more time at the farm to supervise our livelihood."  Joseph instructed his wife.
           " Of course for the safety of Prince specially now that there's some forces who wanted to harm him, I will never allow that to happened I will protect our son no matter how dangerous things are", Karen promised.
           " That's the spirit! my brave wife, I love you more each day", Joseph said as she snuggle closer to him.
             Each day was a challenge for Karen, her life was physically tiring but enjoyable. She enjoy taking care of her son and husband they are her life at this time, taking them away from her is like taking her breathe away from her. Having to witness how her son grows and become stronger each day, now she know why mothers are the first teachers of their children, as she teaches her own son on his first step until he learn to walk by himself without her help.
           Her husband was very happy the first time Prince call him 'dada' and she kissed him countless of time when he called her 'mama' the happiness she felt cannot be compared to any material things there is available for her own disposal. Her heart was full of gladness, the first time she saw Prince trying to run since then he always run might be the reason why his foot is getting stronger  each day.
             " My love, it's dinner time , let's  eat now, dada and I are waiting for you here in the table", Karen lovingly told her son.
            " Son, don't let the food wait for you that is bad manners the graces we receive each day will resent you and walk away because you disregard them", Joseph litany.
             " leli dada? t'has foo tat walk?", Prince asked , at two and a half years old still baby talk, such words are hard to understand but for Karen she know what he meant and he was asking if they has foot that walk , he became interested when he heard that foods will walk away. 
         Prince was very observant and he has the tendency to imitate all the things they do as parents and the words they both say. He just pick some interesting topic that fancy his interest and asked them for explaination.
          " Come on little boy, eat your foods first and we'll talk about foods that walk away because somebody like you took them for granted",  Karen promised.
            " Yeheyyy! I love story mama,", Prince happily clap his little hands in happiness 
            " For sure he will be waiting for your long story tonight and a long time of question and answer portion in between of your story", Joseph told his wife.
            " Yes dada, he has a lot of questions which sometimes hard to answer, it's hard to make up stories just to satisfy his queries", Karen laughingly answered.
            " Our boy is growing up very smart and hungry for more knowledge and I like that he will grow up a very intelligent boy", Joseph agreed.
             " Mama, bird!", Prince said pointing at the bird in the picture.
              " Yes, baby this bird is called a hawk", Karen inform her son.
            " uwk!", Prince said, imitating what his mother said.
            " Whatever! it's okay baby when you grow up things will be easier to pronounced", Karen promised her son. But later on Karen understand why her son's interest with the bird arose, when one day while they are playing in the lawn Prince pointed at the highest portion of mango tree.
              " Mama look!  uwk!", Prince pointed at where the bird was. Karen look at the direction her son was pointing at first she hadn't saw it  then later on she notice when it moves.
           " Yes baby, that's a hawk!", Karen agreed. .She look angrily at the hawk, she had some notion in the back of her mind that her son always saw the hawk that's why he become familiar with the bird.
           " I don't know how he had saw that bird, does it watch after Prince or just looking for opportunity to attack him and endanger our son's life" Karen was in confusion as she relay her thought to her husband that night.
            " If that bird had attempted to kidnap our son before it might have reason why it was watching after our son, but waiting for an exact opportunity to harm him", Joseph's agreed.
           " What if t'was sultan Sota that watch after him?", Karen had thought.
           " But if it was him then why he is not aware that Prince changes color when he is angry, uncomfortable or feeling threaten? that's impossible! because sultan is fully aware of the capabilities of  our son!",  sudden realization had come in Karen's mind.
        " Yes, that's right, and that's enough, don't bother yourself too much of unending questions which is difficult to answer, they were just all speculations! we better sleep now to regain strength for the next day", Joseph's jokingly suggested to his wife.
            " Wow, you 're not helping but, making things more complicated for me, but you're right let's sleep tonight and tomorrow's another day!", Karen retorded.
             Joseph was already deep in his sleep, but Karen was still wide awake, these days even her sleep was affected for the thought that there  are harms plotted for her son.What if they are already heavily sleeping then something crawl to harm her child? the snake for instance! 
         Snakes can sneak in their house without notice anytime , what if the hawk was an enemy's eyes that waiting for the right opportunity to attack her son, the more she'll keep an eyes on her son's welfare, she cannot    
let tolerance to slip in her obligation as mother. Why can't it be that things are just normal just like everybody? a normal life for her son, she want that but her son is not a normal child, who among normal people had divided colors? only her son and sultan Sota.
She silently hope and pray that everything will be alright. She don't want that her husband will blame her someday if something unbearable happened to Prince.


         

            

He was born with a human mother and the hearsay that his real father is the king of the volcano. Many just laugh in disbelief but his earthly father agree with his mother because of his undeniable power since birth. He is capable of killing through his laser eyes when he is angry and can control human minds or hipnotize whoever he wants. His parents raise him to be a good human being, and taught him to use his power for good reason to save humans who receive injustice and help those who are helpless and in need of a hero.

< Quest: The Next Level 2 
Difficulty: - 
Reach Level 15. 
Rewards: Inventory Space, System Rights > 
System Rights? 
Seth opened the grayed out -The Next Level- and found exactly the same description. What did he unlock then? Maybe it was a window? How would he open it if he had no idea how it was called? 
It was then, that Seth remembered that calling out the windows was a shortcut. Like in most games, all windows existed as a tab in the main window, his status. 
What he found beside the Skill-, Inventory- and Quest-tab was... Social? 
There were party options, like distribution of experience and inviting other players. And there was a friend list. He had expected more from something called "System Rights", but it was literally just the access to more perks. 
It did not help a lot. As the only person in town with zero friends, Seth could hardly make a party with anybody. 
What really positively surprised him were the titles. Even when some of them were weird, titles seemed always worth collecting! 
Seth felt like he had spent enough time on his menu windows. The AP and SP could wait for now. 
There were more important things, like looting, right? In his inventory he saw the soul of the big serpent. 
<Soul (Large), Crafting Material. Uncommon. 
The large Soul of a big beast that experienced its first rank-up> 
It was a little underwhelming, but <Blacksmith´s Eyes> also told him that the big carcass held a lot of material he could harvest. It would not be easy to harvest it, though. Aside from its enormous size, more than half its body was still stuck in the lower floor and only about 1/4 was reaching over the edge of the roof. 
But big bro-system surprised him once again! He touched the corpse and was able to store the whole body in one item slot! 
After storing the body, he checked the situation. His was in a hurry last night and did not check the roof access. There was no door to the staircase up here. Seth only found a hatch! 
The bottom below the hatch was filled with snakes, but the ladder up to the hatch was collapsed, so they could not reach the rooftop! 
Seth knew exa~ctly what to do, after seeing the squirming mess of snakes below. 
"Almost too easy~", Seth smirked. 
He felt better now, but he was still filled with resentment. These little vermin had almost cost him his life! So, what if their mommy was a Field Boss?! He would grind all her babies to dust if they dared to come here! 
Of course, he could have used his bow to shoot them now, like fish in a barrel. He had even gotten back most of the arrows that were stuck in their big brother when he stored him. But it did not seem worth the ammunition. He had barely one stack, it was probably not enough, anyways. 
Seth had a better plan. He summoned the <Spirit Smithy> and started throwing anything metal he found on the roof into the furnace. The weapons in his inventory were the best he had made in the last few weeks. There was no way he would sacrifice them here. 
The most he could make with the things he found on the roof was <Medium Iron>. It would suffice. 
What he made were the big, mean, and ancient uncles of lawn darts, Plumbata! 
They were throwing darts the size of crossbow bolts and similar to weighted arrows. Seth forged 15 plumbata completely from metal and attached a small loop for a rope to retrieve them. 
Original they were thrown to disrupt the charge of infantry man, followed by a volley of arrows. Now, Seth chucked them at an army of angry snakes, who were helpless against this merciless reaper from above! 
<Ding! You have killed -Baby Titanoboa lv.1- You have earned Experience.> 
<Ding! You have killed -Boa lv.7- You have earned Experience.> 
<Ding! You have killed -Baby Titanoboa lv.3- You have earned Experience.> 
<Ding! You have killed -Baby Titanoboa lv.5- You have earned Experience.> 
<Ding! You have killed -Boa lv.2- You have earned Experience.> 
Every throw was a hit, but not always a kill. There was also a wide variety in level among the snakes below. Some were also only regular Snakes, while others were babies. The experience he gained from this was ambiguous, but he could see the bar grow in exceedingly small increments. 
Similarly, his <Weapons Mastery> inched closer to the next level. 
Like a machine, Seth kept throwing the 15 plumbata and reeled them back in. Sometimes with a corpse attached to them. In those moments he felt like a spear fisher or a whaler. The baby Titanoboas found their way into his inventory, as their skin was labeled as crafting material. 
Seth kept going all morning, it did not cost him much stamina to throw the darts straight down at his helpless victims. You may think this way cruel, but all of those snakes were enraged and thirsted for his blood! They did not deserve better! 
Seth steeled his resolve and kept going all morning. 
<Ding! Title: "Snake That" earned. "You have killed over 100 snake-type enemies!" +10% damage to snake-type enemies> 
At noon Seth decided, that it was time for a break, to replenish his energy. He had a lot of dead snakes; it was only natural that he skewered them on sword and started roasting them over the forge. He salivated over the lightly salted meat. It had been long since he had fresh meat and these baby snakes smelled better than expected. 
Some when in the afternoon he actually leveled up to 13! How many snakes had he killed? If he had not pulled up most to the bodies, they would easily pile up to his hatch. 
Kills came a little faster, after <Weapon Mastery> finally overcame the hurdle and reach Lv.3. 
Finally, their numbers started to dwindle. And at last, no new snakes appeared below the hatch anymore. And when the last one died- 
<Ding! Title: "Master Skywalker?" earned. "-Not even the younglings survived! - You have eradicated a whole generation of a specific tribe/race/organization."  Younglings will avoid you; Adults will hate you. Currently applies to: Snakes > 
Seth had hoped for this kind of title after gaining the first one! Now the small ones would avoid him and he could get out of here. He just had to avoid meeting another big guy. 
It could not be that hard. Seth´s guess was, that the outskirts were the hatching ground or something, so there should be mostly small ones. Otherwise, there would not have been just one juvenile, right? ...right? 
In the space below the hatch were only dead snakes left, so Seth deemed it safe to climb down. He almost slipped on the blood and corpse covered floor when he landed. Catching his balance, he came to stand in the middle of the pandemonium he created. The hallway was filled with dead snaked like spaghetti and they were covered in their own "tomato sauce". 
Seth felt a little weird, but he hesitated to leave this much fresh meat behind. So, he ended up storing all the snakes, no matter whether they were normal one, or the babies. He ended up with almost two stacks of Titanoboa and one of normal snakes. He also had collected half a stack of Souls (small). Thank the system, that his inventory had been expanded to 5x5! 
Going down the staircase Seth saw the devastation the juvenile left behind when it had wreaked havoc the other night. The barricades were crushed and broken. The management floor was wiped out. The babies had left, but the normal snakes that were still in the building attacked him. They obviously counted as adults, even when they were weaker than the babies... 
Luckily, his raft was still, where he left it! With this Seth left behind the crime scene if his struggle and slaughter.

When not THE Apocalypse strikes, but all of them together, where will you be? What will you do?

Serpent Dunes.
An island continent full of magic dwellers of both the old arts and the new.
A home to normal magical creatures and humans, but beneath the golden waves of sand lie ruins and remnants of folk so old, so powerful, so cruel, so vile, so hateful, and magical they could send a chill deep into your bones and fear into the deepest, darkest corners of your minds.
The Na-gin.
The Serpents.
Even after countless wars and battles leading to ruination they survive albeit in very, very few numbers with a blood thirst that the deserts cannot dry nor the sun diminish. 
Humans, on the other hand, prosper peacefully and happily on their side protected by stone and the wild jungles. Humans have been living harmoniously for centuries now and have long forgotten the blood wars their ancestors sacrificed themselves for. They have long forgotten the rivers of blood that ran instead of water, the mountains of skulls and corpses, the changing of the land as it soaked the blood of both human and serpent.
But the serpents have not.
They still remember their dead, mourn their lost and sing songs of their vanquished sons and daughters.
When the current Sultan faces threats of a long dormant foe starting to stir from its nest, he summons powers of the ancient to kill the evil festering at his wall. He searches high and nigh, day and night, in hopes of finding a warrior worthy to wield a sword, carry his nations flag with pride, and magic course through his veins.
The Sultan does not expect to find a snake fighters blood in a extraordinarily beautiful golden eyed babe, a fire burning in her magical eyes that could drown out stars with veins pulsing in magic and a destiny rare receive.
The fate of Serpent Dunes relies on a young maiden.
The last Snake Fighter.
◆~×_____PROLOGUE _____×~◆

'Next.'
Aksel growled disgusted and annoyed as he pinched his nose bridge with his thumb and index. It was both revolting and horrifying to see such violence especially since this sort of abuse was being inflicted on infants under his watchful eye. What kind of a king did this? But he was desperate and Aksel was paying the price.
The dead snake was removed, the wailing, injured baby taken back to the arms of his sorrowful guardian and the sand in the pit was cleaned away of spilt blood. The people beside him made no sound except for their breathing, one couldn't make conversation after witnessing such a barbaric test. Aksel was surprised his Vizier hasn't spilled his lunch out at the sight of blood and was composed even after one of the previous infants had been of his own kin.
The sand pit where the testing took place was circular and small often used for animal fights between a mongoose and a cobra, two roosters, two cats, two dogs or even between a scorpion and a snake, it's walls high enough to keep its audience away from danger and the thick black bars protected lest the wild animals decided to climb up. The herald announced the next child's name, his family, his status and where he belonged from. A royal guard entered with another infant, this babe was as common as the previous had been and he placed him in the middle on the soft sand and left. The heated sunlight falling down like a column from the ceiling onto the baby in a dark and cool room. The baby made no noise as he wondered what was going on and Aksel waved his richly ringed fingers uninterested towards the guard holding the wooden flap, the rope went down at the signal and out slithered a normal snake that was dangerous but not venemous. The baby made its first sound of distress and Aksel felt his heart clench tightly in his chest. This was someone's child, someone's flesh and blood, due to becoming a father again recently he felt his heart melt helplessly as the baby started crying big fat tears at being left alone in an unfamiliar surrounding.
The snake slithered side to side on the sand making its way towards the crying infant that kicked it's legs making clouds of dust somehow sensing the danger creeping towards it, another guard got ready to nock an arrow, everyone held their breaths either with anticipation or fear. The babe was no more than eleven months having being able to sit upright but not flexible enough as a child.
Perhaps the witches and wizards were wrong, that a snake fighter being born was just a miscalculation in the stars or a false reading on the bones. Magic was uncertain wasn't it? There was never a clear answer or sign of what it intended to do or say. The snake struck with a pounce and had only grazed the babe's ankle with his long fang drawing droplets of blood and eliciting painful cries when an arrow tip pierced deep into the snakes head and stuck to the ground but the child's cry did not stop as it screamed at the pain he'd received making Aksel swallow.
'No, he's not a snake fighter.'
The king said gravely as he watched a guard enter and awkwardly hold the crying baby trying to soothe him but the infant shrieked and shrieked kicking and thrashing his little arms and legs. Aksel and his company could hear the baby even as it was lead away from sight and they all watched silently as a sweeper came in, taking the remnants of the dead snake and shoving fresh golden sand onto the previously bloodied one.
'I cannot stomach another test, I am done for today.' Aksel announced almost getting ready to rise but his vizier stopped him by surprisingly saying 'The next is the last one for the week, your majesty, please, just this last one, I hear she may be hopeful.' The king slumped back curious and asked aloud 'She?' Vizier Silas nodded 'She is Captain Ajax's niece, a very beautiful baby.' The king considered the vizier and his words, Silas rarely praised anyone else besides himself so the man might be actually impressed this time. The king eyed captain Ajax, a handsome young man in his early twenties and probably one of a many few to acquire the title of captain of the kingsguard at such a youthful age. Ajax tensed as the herald called.
'Sonali Hayes, daughter of Fahad Hayes and Nina Hayes, Serpent Dunes wealthiest sea trader. And niece to Captain Ajax.'
He added the last part looking pointedly at the captain who glanced annoyed in his direction. Ajax saw as a guard came and placed his niece who was dressed in expensive richly golden finery on the sand. Instantly as expected to Ajax her eyes caught Silas' attention. 'This one is a unique one, your majesty. Look at that eye colour. So strange, so foreign.' Silas commented stroking his pointy beard thoughtfully. The King grunted in reply, agreeing with his advisor and not trying to voice the hope he felt. The small group of men stared strangely at the infant placed below them in the small circular sand pit. The baby sat straight on her back but she couldn't walk, only crawl. She stared back at her keen observing viewers with a child's curiosity. The child held extraordinary beauty, that much anyone could see.
'Shall we see then?'
General Ashbel asked growing slightly impatient and speaking for the first time. The sight of seeing an infant bitten by a snake again and again was revolting and despicable. None passed the test. Most of the men had their doubts quietly growing in their minds that perhaps the royal castle witches and wizards were wrong. So far there wasn't even the hint of any snake fighter.
Were the kids too young?
That was the only explanation that held logic. That most of these infants were too young, still unable to access their magic. 'Are you sure she's capable?' The young captain asked with a grimace, he didn't have the stomach to witness his beloved niece getting injured. Though he was a trainee for the kingsguard and a squire months from knighthood, seeing snakes bite babies or hearing their shrieks wasn't settling well with Ajax. He didn't even believe in the legends of the snake fighters and knew the others thought the same. If there were to be any snake fighters it would be from the royal lineage, since centuries ago it was their ancestry that held the title.
The baby sat in the pit staring up and back at the adults observing them. She was cheery than the other babies before her and seemed completely unaware of what was happening around her. This baby didn't feel frightened, she didn't cry nor did she feel nervous. Either her mother or nurse did not pay her attention at all for it to feel vulnerable away from their arms or it was an optimistic baby. 'Let us hope she is, the color of her eyes suggest she may possess magic.' Replied King Aksel, he wished that she showed the signs of a snake fighter, he desperately needed one, his Kingdom depended on one. And he wouldn't stop looking until he found one.
The king gave a nod to the servant holding the wooden flap door rope and the servant nodded back before pulling the rope down to let the deadly snake slither out of its confinement as it's trap door was pulled up. Aksel furrowed his eyebrows as the cobra stood on its belly and hissed at the golden eyed baby. Ajax tightened his fists but didn't let his gaze waver. He silently prayed that no harm befell the baby but knew it was unlikely. 'Why is there a poisonous snake in the pit? I had ordered all the tests be made with snakes that possessed no venom.' Asked the king looking at the vizier who bowed his head making his chin reach his chest before replying. 'Your majesty's court decided that since she is magical we should take, extreme, measures.' If Aksel was displeased he didn't show it but Ajax worried silently. The baby looked confused at the snake then at the adults watching her. She stared at the brown cobra for a while, then she started playing with sand that she was sitting on uninterested in the creature of death. Seeing it's prey distracted the cobra pounced fiercely at the beautiful baby and everyone held their breath waiting to hear the loud painful shrieks of the infant, the tension of death or pain hanging heavily, but....
There was none.
With the amount of force the cobra had attacked it was flung back with twice the same amount in rebound and hit against the small pit wall.
Suddenly everyone became more alert, the king sat straighter.
Had their eyes tricked them?
Was it true what they had seen?
The cobra regained it's slippery stance and pounced again. Each time it pounced it was deflected off by an invisible force shield bubble. The baby that was behind this magic showed clear signs of fear at the first pounce and wailed a little in distress. When the snake hit the wall, when it flung back, she found amusement. Slowly her fear and shock for the snake turned into humor which led her to giggles then she burst out laughing at the snake's pathetic attempt to bite her. The long fangs of the snake dripped with poison but they could not hurt the baby.
'Is she the one?'
General Ashbel asked astounded. The legend of snake fighters was all that it was.
A legend.
The ability to deflect all reptiles as one of its strengths was only recorded as a story they told children. 'Yes, she's the one.' King Aksel replied in awe. 'This is a miracle!' The vizier breathed out amazed. It had been months they were testing the babies in the entire Kingdom. Hoping and praying that a snake fighter be found amidst them. 'But the infant is a female.' General Ashbel voiced his concerned thoughts and looking at the baby girl analytically. 'That may be a problem.' Agreed the vizier nodding his head 'She will be strong.' King Aksel replied, his eyes still glued at the chubby infant that played in the sand and he was studying how the baby wasn't affected by the attacking snake at all. The cobra had now given up and just sat with its tail and body coiled in a rope like heap sticking it's forked tongue in and out again.
Probably annoyed.
Their attention was caught when the baby girl started giggling again. Shining a beautiful smile that showed her two front teeth growing. She was poking holes in the sand with her finger making googly noises and this act made Aksel's lips curl up. 'She may be strong sire, but she will grow up to be a respectable lady, the only weaponry she will have access to might be bow and arrow or a dagger, she will not be able to withstand a warrior's training.' The vizier replied thinking everything critically like he often did and as was his job. 'Snake fighters are different from ordinary magical folk and us humans, Silas.' The king replied finally taking his eyes off the infant. 'We cannot guarantee that she will be a strong warrior, a leader, she might have a strong mind but that is not all that is required.' General Ashbel said now worried as he thought more of the future.
'Women can be strong Silas, there have been many female warriors, even snake fighters, I do not doubt she will be any different.' Captain Ajax intervened scratching his dark dashing stubble. 'I have to agree with the general on this one, captain.' Silas piped in.
'What is her name again?'
Aksel asked in a soft tone. The baby's laughter was contagious and it could bring a smile on even the grumpiest of faces. The guard that had been holding the trap door rope snapped out of his daze before the herald. He too was shocked at how the poisonous snake did not harm the infant. 'S-sonali Hayes, your highness, daughter of one of Serpent Dunes richest sea traders.' The guard stuttered looking back at the baby girl. 'Sonali. The name suits her.' King Aksel said thoughtfully nodding his head.
'She will be a great warrior.' Aksel said confidently making the men around him raise a look at each other. How sure was the king? He was very confident about her greatness even while she was just a baby.
Ajax, who was still young and inexperienced in the presence of the king, asked out loud 'Sire, how are you so sure? She is but a child.' No matter the status and responsibility he held, she was still his niece, the others tensed at the boy's slip of tongue but Aksel smiled at his boldness. One did not speak or question the king unless spoken to but he was wise enough to understand. 'She has magic in her viens, which she is able to access at such an age.' He paused getting up from his chair and the rest did the same.
'She will be the greatest in history.'

Serpent Dunes.

An island continent full of magic dwellers of both the old arts and the new.

A home to normal magical creatures and humans, but beneath the golden waves of sand lie ruins and remnants of folk so old, so powerful, so cruel, so vile, so hateful, and magical they could send a chill deep into your bones and fear into the deepest, darkest corners of your minds.

The Na-gin.

The Serpents.

Even after countless wars and battles leading to ruination they survive albeit in very, very few numbers with a blood thirst that the deserts cannot dry nor the sun diminish. 

Humans, on the other hand, prosper peacefully and happily on their side protected by stone and the wild jungles. Humans have been living harmoniously for centuries now and have long forgotten the blood wars their ancestors sacrificed themselves for. They have long forgotten the rivers of blood that ran instead of water, the mountains of skulls and corpses, the changing of the land as it soaked the blood of both human and serpent.

But the serpents have not.

They still remember their dead, mourn their lost and sing songs of their vanquished sons and daughters.

When the current Sultan faces threats of a long dormant foe starting to stir from its nest, he summons powers of the ancient to kill the evil festering at his wall. He searches high and nigh, day and night, in hopes of finding a warrior worthy to wield a sword, carry his nations flag with pride, and magic course through his veins.

The Sultan does not expect to find a snake fighters blood in a extraordinarily beautiful golden eyed babe, a fire burning in her magical eyes that could drown out stars with veins pulsing in magic and a destiny rare receive.

The fate of Serpent Dunes relies on a young maiden.

The last Snake Fighter.
