     The world is bitter, everything in it was vile, even the gods nor the goddessess were little to no good, even how much supreme or divine they could be, their image, their dignity had always been their priority, that they were willing to be blinded for those who had seek their mercy and their guidance

Well for me, I was...

I was one of those people that inflicted with their curse, all because of something a sin that I did not commit. And what is worse, I was cursed by the goddess that I had worshiped and looked up the most

Turning me into a vile, creature that no man could ever set there eyes on mine, or else, their whole being will turn into stone

After I had left to that wretched templed, I sent forth by the caves to seek shelter and suppress her existence from the mortal world and yet pepple would manage to find me, hunting me to their own assurance that I was dead but instead, their body had left inside the caves with me, turning them all into stone, piling my victims more and more, even soldiers across other kingdoms desired my death as a trophy

However, one of those moments, amongst the others that saw me as a monster, a demon, a crimeful creature without knowing that I only did it to defend myself...

Someone had finally stood their ground on me

This one did not run nor scream

Only stared back frozen

I only waved my hand in front of him but there was no response

He can't see me

"That's a bold thing for a blind man like you to come into my lair all alone..." I slithered in an attempt to fear him but his voice calmed and could only docked his head

"I'm not..." he muttered weakly with a dissappointed sigh "the people around my village intentionally pushed me inside this cave because I was a nuisance..."

my heart went drop as soon as I saw he was hurt, cluthing his staff tighy by his brused hands for touching, it almost like he was going to tremble

I could have already killed him just like the rest

But why didn't I? Well...

He reminded me back when I was helpless, after I was toyed by the Gods

They took my face, my life and my freedom

Just like his....

"Aren't you.... going to kill me?" His voice was as if he was already expecting his fate was about to happen

I halted and looked on his helpless state

"I don't want my cave stained by a mortal blood, do whatever you wish for all I care..."

And so, I let him stay...

Days turn to weeks

And weeks turn into months

But he never left...

     "What is this?" She irritatingly scolded the blind one upon seeing her bed had been properly arrange in a different manner

"I fix the bed for you so that you won't get difficult if you wrap yourself..." he answered holding his cane as he tap his device in order for himself to wall straight "you're a snake aren't you? So I made it even cozier..."

"How do yow such things like this for a mere mortal like you?"

"Wybourne, my name is Wybourne.." he casually told her

"I did not ask your name.." she told him walking away as she could able to control herself and not turning into a half snake

"And I didn't told you to ask me" he smiled, slowly tapping his cane again against the rocks "I was wanted to introduce myself to you.."
