Shasiek 🐍

Shasiek reached out to poke the noisy snake. There were a lot of them around here, but she'd never seen a blue one. The snake bit her paw. She stumbled back off a cliff that wasn't there.

Shasiek woke up. The snake was still there, filling the cave with blue light. She flattened herself into the back. "What are you?"

"I am the ghost of a snake you ate in a past life. You may call me Gilgamesh."

"I'm... sorry?"

"No apology needed. The mice that gnawed your bones fed my children. Everything turns around into itself. I am here to protect you."

Shasiek sat up straight and bowed her head. "Where does the danger come from, spirit?"

"Today Aplha Taak will announce you are to lead a hunting team into the most dangerous lands for training. Wizard Zairn asked me to guide you. He wishes he'd lived to meet you. After saving your father, you are like a granddaughter to him."

"Does Alpha Taak not trust my ability to take over from Father?"

"You are not ready yet. Do not worry. I will advise you on your healing work as well."

"I'm sorry, but... Do snakes have healers?"

"Who do you think discovered the use of herbs? We brought them to the world. In return, the Creator told us which to eat in order to become young again. Wizard Zain may have taught human magic, but that is nothing compared to snake magic."

Proud to continue the tradition of healer, magician, and dream interpreter, Shasiek is the first female to hold the title. First Wizard Zairn founded the profession with knowledge of the human world that frightened many. Her father Rayld brought a more easygoing style when his mentor passed on. Shasiek doesn't have her father's white fur and pale eyes, but she is the first to receive a spirit guide. No one else can see Gilgamesh. Anyone who suggests he isn't real hears an eerie rattling.
