In various Asian religious traditions, the Nagas (Sanskrit: नाग, romanized: Nāga)[1] are a divine, or semi-divine, race of half-human, half-serpent beings that reside in the netherworld (Patala), and can occasionally take human or part-human form, or are so depicted in art.

Sunlight shown down from the sky and lit up the world in a pretty golden glow. You sat there staring at the way it lit up the beautiful plants and flowers around you. It truly was a beautiful sight to see. The perfect start to the perfect morning to the perfect day...
However you felt anything else but happy let alone perfect.
A wince escaped your throat as the white coils around your body tightened up seeking heat, like the arms that hugged you close seeking comfort. Or the forehead that placed itself on the top of your head with a content sigh of his lips.
"Good morning. You look beautiful."
You didn't answer him. Only blankly continuing to stare at the opening from the den this monster kept you in. The only other sounds being the dripping water somewhere deep in the dark.
This wasn't what you wanted when you wanted to find love in your life. You wished you'd never have saved that snake back months ago. Back when you were happily blissfully ignorant of the monsters like the one that founded over you and held you hostage. Back when your only concern was preparing to get married to the love of your life and live happily ever after together with him as you both planned your wedding.
However fate had other plans for you. And it started with the day you went to the marketplace with your fiance.
It was a beautiful day. You'd both gotten up early in the morning and had breakfast. Since it was one of the rare days you didn't have any chores and your fiance had no jobs to do, you both decided to spend time together and go shopping at the local market.
The marketplace was a buzz with activity. From the many stalls lining the streets, to the people calling out to others to come but their wares, to the many customers walking the streets drawn to the hustle and bustle here. You yourself had one arm arms your fiance's arm and a basket hanging off your other already filled with a few things. A little trinket or two. A new book to read. Some food to cook for dinner that night. A gift for his mother. Really just random things. But you both weren't buying like crazy. Most of the time you only browsed at what the stalls offered before moving on without buying anything.
After a moment you even leaned up on top toes to kiss the smiling man on the cheek making him chuckle and kiss you back on the forehead. What a perfect day. Nothing could spoil this . morning between the two of you.
Until a woman's shriek from in front of you caused you both to jump and look up. A woman was screaming bloody murder. Her screech cascading over the marketplace startling everyone into silence and turning confused and surprised heads her way. Her feet jumped from one to another like if saw a mouse. Her face terrified. No one had any idea what she was screaming about until another woman looked down following her gaze and then also screamed.
