folklorist | ϡ - Chapter Six; the horned serpent [voice]

Raining, hm? [ There's the sound of rain pattering against the window, dulling the intermediate silence. He's thinking for a few brief moments getting his facts and thoughts sorted before beginning. ]

The Horned Serpent. A mythical being involved with rain, lightning or thunder. Some claimed it to be invisible while most referred to it as the bearer of rain that made noises similar to thunder. Taken from Native American tribes the Sioux believed the Unktehila to be a dangerous reptilian water monster that lived long ago. They were of various shapes and sizes. In the end however it is said that the Thunderbirds destroyed them, except for small species like snakes and lizards. It has varying names: Pita-skog, Sinti lapitta, Misi-kinepikw. Ah they're wonderful creatures, really. Not as extincted as everyone once believed; not as dangerous either I'll admit. The rain is so refreshing at times too.

Is there a being associated with the rain or water in anyone else's world? Since there's not much to do on rainy days, perhaps a little idle chatter could pass the time? [ Another pause, derp. ]

Oh! I almost forgot! Welcome to Luceti everyone! I know there's been quite a few new people about! The cycle just ended, I think? This place is so welcoming, isn't it? I'm sure you'll all feel right at home, or as much as possible in such a place! Though, it takes some getting used to doesn't it? A shame it's such a rainy day...there's so much to be explored in this place.

[Oh look, you've attracted the attention of the other biggest ~~derp~~ mythology nerd in Luceti. Naoki's voice is bright--he loves hearing about this stuff, after all, and he's pretty sure Helios knows even more than him.]

Have you met a Horned Serpent yourself, Helios?

[ Awesome! They can be derps together! ]

Ah, Naoki! How is your trip? You're well I hope? What with all this rain- [ He pauses. ]

Hmm actually no, not ever. They're very rare even in my world a shame really, they always seemed so...interesting.

[derp derp]

Oh yeah, my trip's good! I'm camping at the hot springs right now--I brought a tarp with me, just in case of this, heh.

Ah, I see...well, what other manner of creatures have you met?

[ :B ]

Oh that sounds delightful. I've never actually been in one, though! Just a tarp... [ He does not approve. You might catch a cold or something! Do demons catch rhinoviruses? ]

All sorts! Kappa, Noppera-bou, Dragons, angels, demons, er other things...there's so many. Vampires.

Don't worry about me--I don't get sick. Well, I hope I don't. It's been a while since I've seen rain and that power cap might do something about my resistances... [Trailing off--you know what time it is? Changing the subject time!]

There are a lot of creatures, huh? Did you meet just one type of dragon, or a couple? There's wyverns and wyrms and Chinese dragons...

Naoki... [ He says it with a somewhat admonishing tone, though it's more caring than anything. He doesn't want anyone to get sick, especially friends! ] Please, keep in touch; it'd be dreadful for something to happen. And don't think changing the subject will keep me away from being concerned. [ Just...le sigh. ]

Lots of types. A dragon god, a chinese water dragon, wyrms and even a few wyverns. My there is a lot.

Ahh...I know--sorry, Helios. But I don't think you have to worry too much. I'd let you know if anything happened to me.

There is, isn't there? I met Samael, and he took the form of a wyrm with four wings, and two more on his head.

All right, I'll trust you with that. I must sound like a nagging parent, haha! I suppose it comes with having to look after so many students. You'll have to forgive me.

Samael? He's a fallen angel, or in some respects a very power archangel. The Angel of Death actually.

You remind me of my dad a little, haha. But...it's not a bad thing, honest. It's kinda nice being worried about, and I know I can be a bit [derpy] thick-headed sometimes.

Yup, that's right--he was a pretty strong opponent. He looked kinda cool, all in all.

Your father? You must miss him. We all can be! I think it's a well distributed trait, not very discriminate. You can find it in mostly everyone myself included.

I've never heard of him being portrayed as a dragon before, though.
