Amidst the relentless rain, Coriolanus stumbled upon a discarded scarf, soaked and muddy, disregarded on the wet floor. As he recognized the familiar fabric, a surge of recognition jolted through him - It was Delyth's. The raindrops clung to the damp threads, revealing a story of recent encounters with the elements.

With a mix of frustration and anticipation, Coriolanus snatched the damp scarf hanging in the rain-soaked forest, his hands closing around the familiar fabric. Yet, as soon as his grip tightened, the serpent, cunningly concealed within the folds, leaped out, sinking its fangs into his arm.

The sudden bite elicited an involuntary yelp from Coriolanus, the searing pain radiating through his arm. Clutching the bitten limb, his expression contorted in a mixture of surprise and agony.

Anger and disbelief etched across his face, Coriolanus clutched Delyth's soaked and muddy scarf in his hands. The venom-induced rage surged through his veins, fueling his accusatory words. "Is this poisonous?" he questioned angrily, a disbelieving laugh punctuating his disbelief.

His accusatory gaze fixated on the scarf, and suspicion laced his words, "Are you trying to poison me?" The forest offered no reply, leaving Coriolanus to grapple with the effects of the venom and the haunting questions that lingered in the disorienting reality that unfolded around him.

Coriolanus's hands slammed down, the soaked scarf still clenched tightly in his grasp, as he unleashed a furious punch into the forest floor. His anguished scream reverberated through the rain-soaked trees. "Delyth!" he bellowed, the name carrying a mix of frustration, betrayal, and the unsettling realization that the web of the forest held more secrets than he could fathom.

Coriolanus's gaze darted rapidly through the forest, the disorienting effects of the venom intensifying with each passing moment. The once-familiar surroundings morphed into a surreal tapestry of distorted shapes and colors. Trees twisted and contorted, shadows danced in chaotic patterns, and the very fabric of reality seemed to unravel before his eyes. The venom's grip tightened, casting a hallucinogenic spell over his perception.

"I said are you trying to poison me?!"

As the echoes of his own yell reverberated in the disorienting wilderness, Coriolanus felt a wave of breathlessness wash over him. Dizziness and nausea took hold, forcing him to halt in his tracks.

Emotions surged within him, a turbulent storm fueled by the venom and the revelation of betrayal. The girl he once loved, desired, had proven to be a source of repeated betrayal, culminating in this poisoned moment.

Tears welled in his eyes, streaming down his face as he cried in the rain-soaked forest, ensnared in a web of emotional torment and the hallucinogenic grip of the venom.

Coriolanus's tears came to a sudden halt as a familiar sound reached his ears – Delyth's giggle. His gaze, now frantic and disoriented, scanned the surroundings, with every tree morphing into a semblance of a figure.

The hallucination played tricks on his perception, and the forest seemed to be filled with elusive shapes, each echoing the haunting laughter that echoed in the rain-soaked labyrinth.

"Delyth!" Coriolanus's desperate yell echoed through the disorienting labyrinth of trees, the name carrying both a plea and a demand.

Until he saw her, he caught a glimpse of Delyth through the dense foliage, her figure fleeting like a shadow. However, as he moves to intercept, the forest seems to conspire in her favor. A sudden gust of wind masks her footsteps, leaves rustle, and the subtle play of light and shadow obscures her path.

Delyth's phantom form danced through the twisted trees, a spectral vision that defied the laws of the rain-soaked forest. She appeared in different places, her laughter echoing through the disoriented labyrinth, filling Coriolanus's ears with haunting melodies. The dress she wore moved with an ethereal grace, a mesmerizing ballet amid the chaos.

Her smile, frozen in an unchanging expression, taunted him as the hallucinogenic effects of the venom painted an illusory dreamscape, blurring the lines between reality and the haunting mirage of the girl he once loved.

Coriolanus's head moved rapidly, attempting to keep pace with the elusive apparition of Delyth. Her figure materialized in multiple places, a spectral dance that defied the logic of the rain-soaked forest.

His cries of her name echoed numerous times, a desperate chorus in the disorienting landscape. The venom-induced hallucinations toyed with his perception, creating a kaleidoscope of fleeting images, each one a haunting reminder of the girl whose spectral presence seemed to taunt him amid the chaotic dance of shadows and illusions.

Coriolanus's hand clutched his gun, his aim unwavering as he fired towards the illusionary figure of Delyth. The echoes of her scream reverberated through the rain-soaked trees. Yet, as he rushed towards the perceived impact, he was met with the unsettling void – she hadn't fallen, and the phantom image dissipated into nothingness.

His mind, entrapped in the hallucinogenic dance of the venom, played tricks on him, distorting reality into a disconcerting landscape of false sights and haunting echoes.

Coriolanus, consumed by frustration and the venom's illusions, saw Delyth's haunting figure with her blonde hair dancing amid the dark, damp trees. His gun, a tool of misplaced vengeance, relentlessly aimed and fired towards her elusive form.

The echoes of her giggle played a disorienting game, her apparition seemingly moving behind him as he continued to unleash a barrage of bullets, the forest bearing the brunt of his rapid-fire assault. The disconcerting symphony of gunfire and phantom laughter reverberated through the rain-soaked labyrinth, a cacophony of torment amid the twisted trees.
