Walker Of The Worlds

The words of the Matriarch were enough to dispel the murderous aura of the being in front of her.

~Rumble~

The silhouette of a large head rose above the trees and the dark yellow eyes moved along with it. Soon the head clouds be clearly seen. It belonged to a serpent that was grey and green colored and had horns on its head.

It opened its mouth before letting out a low hiss that traveled far and wide. Thousands of sharps teeth could be seen within its mouth, along with four long fangs that were like pillars and shone under the green moonlight.

"Go forth, the rest of the guardians will let you though." The massive snake stated.

"Thank you, Holy Guardian." The Matriarch finally lifted her head and continued running up the mountain.

But throughout the entire process she didn't glance at the massive serpent for even a moment. It wasn't that she would be admonished for it, but rather that she was terrified to look at it.

She had heard about the large serpent thousands of years ago. In fact, the first time she heard about them was when she was a mere child and her parents told her about them to scare her into obeying.

Coming in contact with such a being that was once the nightmare of her childhood was gravely terrifying.

'Despite my millenniums of cultivation, the holy guardian is still beyond my perception.' The Matriarch thought to herself.

She didn't waver from her task though and continued to run. This time her journey was a lot faster, and it felt like the very space was shrinking beneath her. The amount of time it took her to reach the halfway point was over a hundred times the time it was taking her to cover the remaining half of the distance.

It was simply incomprehensible.
