[h3]Old folks say that in times long forgotten, there lived a wise Sylvan Serpent, the guardian of woods and keeper of hidden paths. Its breath was a fragrant breeze that brought life, and its voice—a melody enchanting all living things.

Yet one day, a cruel ruler came to the forest, wishing to fell the trees and build a city devoid of the spirit of life. The serpent gave up the spark of its own life to protect the ancient woodland and took away the will of the foolish invaders. Absorbing the evil of mankind, it transformed into an eternal guardian [/h3]
