American Gods

Cobra and Casina

Cobra was half animal, like his dad, and, as you have probably guessed, he is the god of snakes. He liked exploring and finding new places, but he got in trouble a lot, too. Casina,she was a problem child. She wasn't bad, but she wasn't good either. Casina was the goddess of casinos, which meant she liked gambling just a little too much.

Well, One day, while Cobra was out exploring, he stumbled across the first ever casino, Gold. Now, Cobra here, he liked scaring people, so he slithered under the door as a cobra.

At the first table, he saw a big, strong, bored man, a skinny pickpocket, and a beautiful young lady with purple hair and hazel eyes.

He stopped short of biting the skinny pickpocket, but only because of the gorgeous lady sitting next to him.

After getting lost in innapropriate thoughts of doing things with the purple haired lady, Cobra finally noticed that at least half of the casino had seen him and were freaking out.

"Oops,"he said to himself, although, technically, it was to him and the purple haired lady because she overheard and looked under the the table, where he was laying.

(the purple haired lady is Casina, by the way, and I'm going to be calling her, well, Casina because I've used purple haired lady way too much.)

Casina took one glance at Cobra, said,"cool," then went back to playing her game of poker, which, by the way, she won, because the other players immediately forfeighted and ran away.

Meh. I'm done. Byyyyyyyyeeeee.

Jk don't leave!!!!!!!

Well, anyway, Cobra didn't like how Casina took one glance at him and went back to her usual business, so, he turned into a human and sat down across from her.

"I'd like to play," he said, plainly.

Casina looked at him with her hazel eyes and said,"look around. Do you see anyone else holding you back???"

Cobra was losing his boldness.

"Well, yeah, I know that, but-"

He was cut off by Casina, who said,"well if you know that, then let's start already," and then she started dealing out the cards.

"Okay, but I have to-"

"You have your cards, so play them. Also, I wouldn't mind if you placed your bet, too. It might help."

"Ugh. That what I've been trying to tell you! I-"

"Oh, so you don't have any money, I see. Well, I don't play poker unless it's for money, so bye bye, Mr. Dumbface," she said with a smirk.

"Listen to me!!!! As I was saying, I'm not gambling for money, I'm gambling for your heart."

Casina considered it for a bit, then with a gleam in her eye, she said," Well, Mr.Dumbface, you are kinda pretty, and I am single, plus I am literally The Boss of casinos, I don't have anything to lose," Casina paused while Cobra tried and failed to hispde his happiness. "But, you have to do something to prove to me that you are worthy."

Cobra's face fell.

"Okay, well, what do I have to do?"

With a smirk, Casina responded with,"Oh, it's nothing. You just have to, you know, collect something."

Cobra lifted his head and smiled. This would be easy. He thought it would be hard, like climbing into a volcano right before it erupted to get a special rock or something.

"So what is it that I'm doing?" asked Cobra.

"Well, basically, you are going to climb into a volcano right before it erupts to get this really pretty rock for my necklace. Easy peasy, right?"
