They all turned to look at her, but they didn't seem to understand what she was
saying. She had to use her hand to write on the floor, "Oh, wise serpent, test us with your wisest riddles." Then she looked up at them and pointed at the large yellow object.
"Ohhhh," they all exclaimed.
"Oh, wise serpent, test us with your wisest riddles," Drogo shouted, urging Arie and Molanta to join him.
"Oh, wise serpent, test us with your wisest riddles," they all shouted together.
The object started to reshape. Once a box shape, it transformed into a large yellow snake. Its skin was smooth, as if it had just come from a spa treatment, and its eyes glowed a fiery red.
Despite its massive size, it had a
disproportionately small head, which almost made Molanta laugh. However, Prince Drogo, sensing Molanta's amusement, swiftly struck him with his palm.
"It took you forever to find me," the wise serpent said in a deep, slightly hoarse voice. It turned to Mellisa and spoke, "Such a brave little sweetheart. hope you'll be able to make it out of here alive. You're in the baby stage, yet you think you can attain the ultimate gemlike stone just like that. Bravery alone can't help you here."
The wise serpent continued to circle Mellisa.
"However, there is one thing you must do to break through to the puberty stage. You must wrestle with my little babies. I'll provide you with a sword. If you can pass this trial, only then can you answer my riddles and proceed to the next level. However, someone can help you fight. If they lose and die, you die, and the rest can proceed, and if you eventually have no one to fight for you, if you die, the rest proceeds.
Mellisa shivered in fear, and Drogo could sense her apprehension. "I'll help her fight your babies," Drogo declared, stepping forward and leaving
Arie and Molanta behind.
"What?!" Arie and Molanta exclaimed
simultaneously, their faces filled with surprise.
Mellisa turned to look at Drogo, unable to speak.
She never expected Drogo to risk his life to save
her.
"I said I will help her fight your babies. Get me a sword already," Prince Drogo added firmly.
"Oh, I see you finally got a chance to prove your love for Mellisa," the serpent remarked. Mellisa, along with Arie and Molanta, looked on in confusion.
"Well, since you want to fight, here is your sword," the serpent continued. Immediately, a sharp and light sword appeared in Drogo's hand. Drogo smiled, as he favored light swords.
In a twinkle of an eye, a snake with two heads appeared, though not as large as the wise serpent.
"Are these babies or daddies?" Molanta asked, looking scared.
"The fight begins in 3, 2, 1, start!" the wise snake declared.
Drogo and the two-headed snake began to fight, they stood facing each other, staring at their eyes. Drogo was breathing heavily, his mind clouded with thoughts of how he would devour this monster standing at his presence, the two headed snake was also breathing heavily, it was waiting for Drogo to make a move so it would strike. Drogo tried to strike with his sword but the snake was faster and hit the sword out of his hands, "oh no" Drogo Shouted "it's to early for a defeat" . The snake began to laugh, Drogo tried to crawl to where his sword was but the snake spat its venom on Drogo, though it did not infect him.
At first, it seemed like Drogo might not win.
Mellisa started crying, but her tears motivated Drogo. He slid under the two-headed snake, cutting off one of its heads. The second head let out a loud cry and started spitting venom at
Drogo angrily. Drogo dodged the venom while continuing to attack. As the best swordsman in the kingdom, even better than his father, Drogo's skill made it difficult for the snake to evade his
strikes. Finally, Drogo managed to slice off the second head.
Mellisa flew over and hugged Drogo as soon as the head fell off. She couldn't stop crying, and Drogo helped her wipe away her tears.
"Then he slowly let her out of his grip and turned to the snake. 'Now that she won the trial, can you grant her the gift of Puberty stage, for her to be able to continue in the quest?' Drogo firmly said.
'Well, well, well, that was a good show. I've never had the chance to let anyone go through the trial to be able to break free to the puberty stage,' the serpent said. 'Have this, beautiful Mellisa.' The serpent handed Mellisa a candy-like substance, which appeared in her palm. 'Consume it, Mellisa, and see how your body responds to it.'
Mellisa hastily consumed the substance. As soon as she did, she beamed like the sun and flew higher into the sky, remaining motionless.
After about three minutes, she slowly
descended.
Drogo ran and ensured he caught her in his arms, "Mellisa, are you fine? "
But Mellisa lay in his arms, eyes closed and motionless. "Please talk to me, Mellisa, please,"
Drogo pleaded.
Molanta and Arie came close. "Sweet ancestors, please wake her up," Arie said, looking up to the sky.
Drogo turned to the wise snake in frustration. "What have you done to Mellisa? Why did you do this to her? You should have left her at the baby stage and allowed nature to do its work!" Drogo
shouted rudely at the wise serpent.
"Prince Drogo, I'm fine," Mellisa said, her voice filled with joy. Drogo looked at Mellisa in his arms. He had never seen such beauty before;
she was more beautiful than ever.
"Thanks so much, Prince Drogo, how can I ever repay you" she said looking at his eyes
"No you don't have to" Drogo added
"Prince Drogo," she called his name as she slowly stood up. "I can walk now." She started running.
"Oh my God, I have a good voice!"
"Will I find my love, will she be white like a dove?" she sang.
"Go, girl!" Arie added.
Molanta stood there, looking surprised. He went to meet the serpent and said, "How can I make that candy-like substance? I need to make that."
"Your obsession with making potions will be the end of you. You want power without hard work, right? Let's see how that goes," the wise snake said to him.
Molanta immediately went back to his companions as soon as he heard this.
"Okay, time for riddles, my Brave friends," he announced. "Being that you're four, you have four questions to answer, and you can only answer once. You must pick just two representatives, so who would be your spokesmen?"
