Inside the cave, a half snake half human beastwoman is seen digging.
Later, the girl picks up some soil and sits down to make some clay pots.
But that doesn't seem to work.
"Ugh!! Why isn't this working? It did work this way in the discovery channel. What could be wrong here?
Well, did she forget something? Yes, she did.
"Ouu I completely forgot to refine the clay!"
Now she's getting it right.
It's been over one month since she came here and now she has started to talk to herself like she is broadcasting live or as if some imaginary friend is listening to her.
"And now I started to make fun of myself too"
I started shedding yesterday. I panicked at first and started rubbing myself all over the tree trunk. It felt so uncomfortable at first, but I was fine afterwards.
The skin came off all in one piece just like a sock. I can make more than 15 clothes from my skin. But, I don't want to, right now. My scales feel really good. If only there was a mirror, I could appreciate myself.
As the day passes, I felt more lonely. I still feel discomfort when I think of my previous life. I still can't let go of the fact that those close to me will never be able to see me. Maybe it would be better if I had reincarnated and forgotten everything. But thinking about how I need to be taking the responsibility of the children, I try to feel good about this situation.
I was an ambivert. I learned different skills which help me escape being lazy.
But no matter how bored I was, I wouldn't go outside. Why? You may ask.
Actually I did go out two days ago when I heard the rumour about a leopard searching for his wife. He ran around all the time snatching all the snakes in his way and making a harem of all the beautiful snakes.
Yes, you guessed that right! It is the ex-husband. Well, I guess the blow when he touched me, affected his head hard. Instead of improving, he just goes haywire.I still don't get it what is a leopard doing having an obsession with snakes aren't they supposed to be enemies. O well I forgot that this is not my previous world.
I don't know why I feel bolted most of the time nowadays. Maybe I should go outside and get checked by a doctor.
Wait, this place doesn't have a doctor. Lol!
Wait, these symptoms seem like.. I'll be seriously ill soon..
'No dumbass you're pregnant' says a voice. It's the guide if you're wondering.
Oh you're here!
Wait, I am pregnant???! Oh really?? So now there are eggs inside of me?
'Yes you'll get some company soon. Now, take good care of yourself. Oh by the way, this might be the last time I come'
"But why? Why won't you come?"
'I don't belong here and I have a job, unlike you'
"Oh ok. Good bye then"
'Wait, I will give you a way to contact spirits in this world now, listen carefully, everyone in this world has their own spirit ...… .'
'Waa I got a new cheat in this now'
'Wow this girl really seems to use and throw'
"What? I didn't say that you must have heard wrong."
'.. Ha goodbye'
Woof! Finally gone! I don't have to get scared of someone suddenly talking to me anymore!
I come out of the cave taking out freshly made wooden baskets to pick up trapped birds. Unlike others reptiles, snakes are purely carnivorous so I have to hunt every time I am hungry.
After catching the prey I felt uncomfortable wearing the feather dress. I had made it with vines and bird feathers. Although no one here wears a dress, I feel embarrassed wearing nothing at all.
"Thank god I went to summer camp to learn the skills, or else it would have been real hard right now"
I am quite surprised, this body really is strong and comfortable. I can do so much yet not be tired. The bloat is still there though it's not that easily seen in me right now unlike in human form. Let's rest in the sun for a while then I shall sleep inside.
I sleep most of the time. I am only awake 7-8 hrs a day. At least mom is not here, otherwise, she would have scolded me for the whole day.
Oh how much I miss them though!
It's been a few days since I knew I was pregnant, but I already feel like a ball. If my siblings had heard me saying this they would have laughed so hard. Oo no!! I am crying again.
"Mommy feels like crying again what to do" I rub my stomach and go inside to my nest.
Well it's really a nest I built with animal fur that I'd collected from the flooded river.
It would be nice if there was a bed in this world, but there at least is fur and feathers . I spent almost 6 hrs constructing my bed. It feels so good. I hope the children love it.
I lay in my bed feeling sleepy. I don't feel hungry at all. I wish I had company. It's too long without a phone. I need some entertainment. Wait, my guide told me I would find my own spirit guide.. I will do that tomorrow..
In an otherwise lifeless cave, sleeps a beautiful snake curled up in a ball as the sun slowly sets, leaving space for two moons to come.
Early on the next day, a large snake with the upper body of a human is seen around the forest collecting pebbles, rocks, twigs, some small bones of animals in a large basket which seemed to be made up of bamboo.
Finally, the snake enters the cave and slowly starts making an altar. In an empty corner, after cleaning up the space, she turns into a human and sits in front of the altar and starts to meditate according to her guide's instructions. Slowly she reaches out to any sprites that get close to her to help her.
After meditating and working according to the instruction given by her guide for a while, she finally sees a result. There is a small plant in the centre of her consciousness.
'Will you work with me?'
"Yes"
Slowly opening her eyes, she again turns into a snake and follows the plant as it instructs.
After finding the plant, she carefully digs it out with its soil, intact, and brings it to her altar and places it right where there is enough space for sunlight to pass. The plant seems a little weird; it had moving vines and could also control the way its roots go.
"Well, we will be together now, happy cooperation. The guide said that you will need a name… let's call you Pujan. It means God's gift. Do you like it?"
The spirit, as if understanding, shakes its whole body. It slowly then wraps the vines around my hand and tugs it a little.
" Oh waow, you're happy. Keep it up my friend, we will go a long way!"
