The Snakebearer

The story starts with the Moon in all its shape, filled with power, and a water more powerful than anything else. The two of them start a fight to see who is strongest. The Ocean VS the Moon. A long battle rages as storms are brewing and tsunamis are born. The unforgiving water crashes ports as the moon forces the water to overflow. In their path to become the ultimate power, civilizations crash and crumble before the endless might. Cities are torn asunder and even the earth bow before this conflict. Volcanos turn to dust as lightning is eaten away. The sky whirls but cannot separate the fury that clashes. One day, from the Luna city of Rokkor, a woman steps through the rubble. A sea of Chaos revealed in the sun's golden glow. She steps forward, taking the path to the mountain top. She has lost everything and has now nothing. Every step she takes is filled with passion. Every step is rock heavy and bursting with determination. These powers, these higher powers will learn. Everybody would expect the women to cry out in rage, to shout out and wield her wrath. No one could do anything else. It was logical. And like everyone else before her, she would be swept away. Everybody would be wrong.

As she reaches the top, she prays for both of them to stop. She does not ask for an apology or satisfaction. All she asks for is peace. She asks them to forgive each other and move on. She wants them to accept that they are both powerful in their own way.

They ignore her… the world grows cold. She walks down to her broken city. She wants to make them a peace offering. She makes a beautiful ornamented water jug. She steps towards the broken port as dusk takes its hold. She kisses her dead daughter on her forehead, and she prays for the sun to keep her family safe. She steps towards the Ocean and finds a boat. She sails towards the calamity that is the endless fight.

Her boat slowly starts to break apart, but she continues. She starts to speak to them. She asks them to stop. She asks how they feel, if they are hurt and how she can help. The do not respond, but that does not stop her at all. She continues until her boat breaks apart and she is caught in the waves. She calls out to them, using her last breath, her last air to try to reach them. Slowly darkness comes for her. She does not give up. In her dying breath before the swallowing that will choke her life away, she keeps shouting for the powers to listen. She won’t give up; she has nothing to lose all while her family gives her strength. Suddenly she feels a hand on her back that gives her a push towards heaven and pass the water. It is said that the Zodiac of the maiden Virgo and the water carrier Aquarius gave her a shove in the right direction. As she nears the top, she is grabbed by the pure waters saving grace that guides her to the surface. The pure water allows her to stand on the water's surface. It feels like stepping on hands. She takes a few steps and reaches the epi center for the conflict. Here the forces stand in an endless stalemate. She stretches out her water jug empty but to give something as a peace offering. For everybody else, the jug is useless, but for the woman, it is everything she owns.

The moon and the Ocean are not satisfied. They continue their fight. As the landscape is reshaping, what once was a whole continent, is now torn apart. The women steps in between the forces that will not listen as she stares at the moon. Her eyes glow with the moonlight and creates tears running down her cheeks and right into the jug. Every drop gets the forces attention. Something is happening.

The woman's tears fills the jug to the top. She put it down, as she realizes that sometime, if you want someone to listen, you have to make them. The moon takes a liking to her and share some of its power… the ocean takes a liking to her and share some of its power. But the Ocean and Moon will not work together.

The woman known as Ariel, starts to dance as the jug with moonwater starts to move around her. She quells what uneasy feeling there is between them. She dances, as a water moon serpent swirl around her. The Moon and the Ocean are both entranced by her. The Serpent twirls in waves and shines with the brightness of the moon. She becomes the one who connects the two worlds and bind them together in friendship. She has used her power to reach what was unreachable. She has created a new future for many, in what way she thought would be perfect.

For a long time, she carried the power and kept the flow of the Ocean at peace

Then, she was hurt by another force who wanted to turn the ocean angry. It ends with her hearing a song, turning her towards the lord of song, but her final words are “Lovely Loreley”
