I'm sorry, but look what I have!
The Story of the Serpents
In the days while the earth was still
merely opening her eyes, Poseidon was dozing a dream, a message
from Zeus.
The dream was that Poseidon was to have the key to Pompei. Two serpents were to
guard
Pompei: A serpent which could turn a forest into ash by merely breathing
its fiery breath, and a
serpent that could flood a village by simply spitting saliva
from its massive tongue. Poseidon grew fond of these two beasts. Poseidon put the
serpent of water in the Sea of Naples. And he put the other beast in the great
mountain Vesuvius. Over the years Poseidon became rich and came to own a large
castle on the hillside. But, as he aged, he became
weak. Poseidon knew his
time was short, so he locked the serpent of fire in the great mountain of
Vesuvius, and the serpent that spat water in the Sea of Naples. Poseidon died just
days after this
event. The serpents laid in the depths of their lairs for centuries.
They were aware of the passing of
their owner, and soon grew knowledgable of
the theives stealing valuables from their old masters'
estate. Zeus saw
this, and released the two from their dungeons. Their instruction was to guard the
castle, but only one could have this job. They had to battle each other.....
I'm sorry this has a little religion in it, but it was just for a story. I may modify
it. I will openly say I am a Christian, and I do not want to start up a fight. I just find
Greek mythology fascinating. But yea, that's the story for ELEMENT.
