City lights illuminate the roads and contribute to the beauty of the night sky. We went on a mission to get information from a snake that had the amazing idea to take a walk alone at night. I had to wait in an alleyway with Kai as the others led him to that specific spot. He waited on the left corner while I was on the right — blended in the shadows.

We finally see the small serpent dashing to our alleyway, which, either way, it would have been done for him since it's a dead end. My brother crossed the road to come to the alley we were in. The minion trips on a furniture box made out of planks as he wasn't looking straight forward. Fire appears on one side as for the other, a black cloud appearance fades — revealing Kai and I.

I approach the suspect as I lift my bow at his level. The Venomari stands up and backs away before turning face to face with Cole's chest. The snake falls on his back and hiss.

''Going somewhere?'' Cole questions while having his hands on his hips and looking down at the minion.

We all circle him, leaving no chance for the minion to escape. The guys all point their weapons in front of him, near his face as for me, I just have my bow lifted at his level and behind his head.

''Uh-oh.'' The Serpentine gulps nervously.

''Thought you could joyride through town and not be noticed, eh?'' My brother asks rhetorically. ''Where's the last Fangblade?'' He quickly interrogates, wiggling with his weapon menacingly.

''I don't know what you're talking about.'' The snake responds, turning his head to the side.

''Oh, I'll make him talk for sure.'' I retort while pulling the string of my bow real quick — a purple arrow making its apparition. I point my weapon at the back of his head as he lets out a small screech.

My brother gesticulates with his hand, a back and forth motion near his neck to pause whatever I am doing. I let out a silent huff before lowering my bow.

''You know what it is. The fourth Fangblade. When Pythor finds them all, he plans to unleash the Great Devourer.'' Kai clarifies, his sword still near the snake's throat.

''Oh. That Fangblade!'' The reptile chuckles. ''You're too late! Pythor's already there now. He's probably already digging it up. If I were you, I'd start preparing for the worst, because when the Great Devourer is awakened, there will be nothing it won't consume!''

''Won't that mean it'll consume you too?'' Zane quizzes.

The snake jumps a little as his face drops in realization. ''Ah! Please! You have to stop him! That snake is crazy! I don,t wanna unleash the Great Devourer! I'm a snake, not food!'' He pleas in a panicked tone.
