N is for Nevalyn

I am the Great Serpent, devouring all other Serpents. I lie coiled within my children’s chests, whispering to them, urging them to accept their power. In doing so, they accept me.

I am the hunger in every monster, ready to swallow you all.

Once upon a time, I was just a woman, except Nevalyn was never just a woman. Nevalyn was never just anything. She…I…was always hungry for more.

Perhaps this is why I sing within my children’s blood. Perhaps this is why we come for you along with every other hungry creature upon Ouroborous.

You rose again me, united as a fragile empire. You drove me back into the darkness. You turned my own against me.

You cannot be rid of us. We can be a part of every one of you, if you let us in.

All the while we watch and wait. Wait for when you let down your guard and beckon us.

Once you do, we will have you.
