"Oh, Maximus, did you find what you were looking for?" Royce asked when they reentered the room.
"Yes, fortunately," Damian replied. "This will make our task a little easier."
"Well then, what have you come up with?" one of the captains asked, curiosity piqued.
"The mimicry spell," Damian said. "It could be our solution to their invisibility trick."
"What do you mean?" asked another captain.
"Some snakes see the world differently than we do," Damian explained. "They don't perceive light and shadow like us. Instead, they see the world in terms of heat, in bright warm colors like yellow, orange, and red for heat sources, and darker colors like blue, purple, and black for cooler temperatures. Things like plants or moderately warm environments show up as greens or lighter blues."
"Huh?"
"Snakes? Colors?"
"What does that have to do with us?" various captains murmured, clearly confused.
