The Cliffs of Death (3)

"So ... I would like to ask you Lord Snake, do you know of any way to keep your soul from falling apart?" Anna asked sincerely.

"There is, unless ..." The Black Snake seemed to be hesitating about something.

"Unless what ..." Anna seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Unless one of you promises me one thing ..." the Black Snake thought for a moment and finally said it.

"Since you yourself say you're half a god, is there anything you can't do?" The pressure of the mountain looked at the black snake with suspicion.

"I am only a minor god who runs this place, I am not omnipotent." The Black Snake spoke truthfully.

"What is it that you want us to promise?" Anna asked impatiently.

"I want you to take a little snake to the human world ..." said the black snake.

"I thought you said we were dead, how can we go back ..." Anna was getting more and more curious.

"If you agree to my request, I will naturally tell you ...," said the black snake, still keeping his mouth shut.

"It would be nice to have a chance to return to the human world, but I'm afraid of snakes ..." Anna said with difficulty, then looked at Alexandria.

"I promise you ... just tell me what you need to do to get the snake out." Alexandra saw Anna take a stand, and to be honest, she wanted to go back to the human world too. Even though carrying a snake on your body is not something that everyone can easily do, you decided to give it a try in order to give yourself and Anna a chance to return to the human world, so you boldly said.

"If you don't keep your word, you'll be dead and buried. On the contrary, if you do as I say, it will only be to your advantage." The black snake paused and shouted to the black hole under the water, "Black Shadow, come out."

Within moments, a small snake, about a metre long, emerged from the bottom of the water. With a whoosh, it could only be seen next to Anna. Anna's face turned white with fear and she screamed.

The black snake smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, he won't hurt you, he's just naughty at best." Then he took the little snake away from Anna with his big mouth and placed it beside him and said to him solemnly, "Black Shadow, don't be naughty."

The little snake looked at the black snake, then at Anna and Alexander, and listened quietly to the conversation, even though it hadn't had enough.

"This is my son, he has been naughty since he was a child, his only wish is to go to the world, but he has not found the right person to take him out. If you are willing to put it in your clothes, when you go to your next life, he can follow you to the human world. But when you get there, he will be your pet and you will be his master. The master-servant relationship will end when the Black Shadow wants to return here." The Black Snake explained seriously.

"If you say so, can we really return to the human world? Then can you tell us how we can return to the human world and never be separated again?" The pressure of the mountain was great and he was confused.

"As for what happens after you return to the world, it is up to you to find out if you have the good fortune to meet Cassandra the Seer. Well, that's all I can say. It's getting late, so get on your way as soon as you can." As he spoke, the black snake put his head on Shadow's, as if to caress and exhort, "When you go out, listen to your master, or you will be punished for breaking the covenant, and if you get tired of being in the mortal world, tell your master that you are coming back, so that he will not be concerned.

The dark figure nodded. Then with an impatient whoosh, he slipped into Alexandre's clothes. Alexandre suppressed his panic at the shock and smiled reluctantly. He laughed at himself and said, "I guess I'll have to get used to this ... thing from now on."
