As she walked out of the forest, she saw her friend, Owens, a black huge Python, hanging on top of a tree.
"Where are you heading too Odin? Can I follow you?". Owens, the Python, asked.-
"I am going to into the kingdom of the Crescent and no you cannot follow me". Odin reply
"Why?"
"Because there are people out there who don't like snake like I do and would do everything to kill one if they sight it, so no".
"Very well, I will wait for you here". Owen said. Odin patted his head and continued her journey
She had met the snake when she was still a little girl. She didn't know why she wasn't scared of it rather she picked the snake and started petting it.
'What is she doing?" The Python asked no one in particular.
"I am petting you". Odin replied obviously.
A shock look appeared in the eyes of the python.
Did she just reply me?
'Can you hear?"
"Yes I can". Odin replied smiling and continued "I want to be your friend, can I?"
The black python came out of its shock state and nodded "Okay, at least you can hear me".
That had been some years ago, Odin and the python had grew so close.
Odin quickly walked into the kingdom of Crescent, she was disappointed when she saw how it was. The great kingdom she had heard so much about isn't that beautiful.
"Rubbish, and here I thought that this kingdom would be as elegant as I have heard".
Although no denying it, the kingdom was beautiful but how could a kingdom be beautiful when the people living in it has sorrowful face.
Why would there be so much suffering in this beautiful kingdom? Does it mean that the king do not know that his people are suffering? How could the royals be so cruel?
Those questions were left unanswered as she walked deeper into the kingdom.
After a while, she couldn't see anything worth of seeing to her, she then left the kingdom.
"Well, there is nothing worth seeing in that kingdom". Odin said to herself as she began her journey back home.
As soon as she re-entered the forest, she heard her name.
"Odin".
She stopped as she looks around her, seeing no one she shrug her shoulder.
'Well that was strange, maybe I am now hallucinating'
