Re: SHADOW GAME
... if we're going to do that, then we should retrieve them quickly.
Re: SHADOW GAME

[also nope no sentience on the bindings itself]

Re: SHADOW GAME

Re: SHADOW GAME
Gets to work on the bindings, if that'll be enough.]

1/2
The bindings take a bit of effort--it's like a decorative eye mask, but encrusted with diamonds and silver, like the collar that subdued Death. And when they place their hands upon the snake, they also experience various effects of time--maybe Ananke's suit begins to rust, they age, they deage, they may or may not experience memories they didn't even realize they had from the future or the past. Everything is Right There, Forever, for a few brief seconds. . .
And then finally it snaps off.
Immediately, time stabilizers. Subito finds his body returning to 'normal', as well as anyone touching the snake at the moment. Coils whip all around them as the torn binding reveals a single massive Eye, similar to the Jim Deer and Death's, atop the snake's 'main' head, attached to a torso that only vaguely resembles something humanoid. The beast doesn't open its mouth, but it screams regardless. A scream of thanks, relief, and acknowledgement.
The ground rumbles around them. Coils, snakes, massive, small, all rush by the group, flashing images of their past and present lives. The Forever Snake is everywhere and always, but Finally converging, as it should be. A memory crosses Levi's mind specifically, a familiar voice of Ceo answering questions from a hysterical crowd of followers--
~
"Why? Why cripple the sacred beast? It won't answer any prayers like this!"
"If I hadn't, we'd all be dead. We can't let anyone release it, not until we've healed the King."
"It's wrong. It's wrong! If I'd known this would have happened--"
"It doesn't matter. The only reason we've remained unchanged is because of its bindings."
He looks away.
"Even if it take another five hundred years, I'll do everything I can to save our people."
~
The coils finally all meet at a singular point, and in the light, they all can only see a mass of writhing coils...and the shadow of the Forever Snake itself*
*I was gonna get a commission of it but i been off my game USE YOUR IMAGINATION IT LOOKS COOLER THAN THAT.
There is a calming sense when you all look upon it, and a low hiss. . .a thank you.
And then all is blinding.
When you wake up again, you're all floating in the middle of the ocean. Probably, you should revert back to Mers.]

Levi doesn't think a healing spell is going to help with exhaustion. More than likely she just needs to rest. She's been at this a long time.
Also he hopes she isn't offended by any gatordawg they have in the freezer.]
Be careful with her.
AND ALSO
THE FOUNTAIN GLOWS. Suddenly, the rim of the fountain is covered in snake-like eye patterns as 'scales'. The glow fades, but seems to coordinate with how dangerous the antlers think the mist is.
It is not known ICly yet but: Placing your hands on the scales will now allow characters to fast travel to any spot in the mist they have been before. Getting back is their own issue. However, the Forever Snake will not teleport them if the mist is too dangerous, so they will still be forced to venture out on their own poor decisions sometimes.
