No-One
The pale shape of a large serpend coils in the dark of a deep conected system of caverns. The carvers are quiet the only sounds of the deep waters dripping or flowing, there's an interruption to this noise as the snake slides its soft underbelly along the cavern, it wasn't aimless nor unintelligible, it knew were it was going it knew what it would do.

Serpente
THAT NOISE! That putrid squeal! Why must I always wake to that cry... I wish only to sleep in the silent cave. "Heeelllp~!" An echo cried, it echoed through the walls and everywhere it HURT, but under their... "rules" they would not be able to stop it so easily, it was sharp, it was YOUNG. They could not kill the young, if they did they would be no better....

No-One
as the cry became ear-piersing the creature slowed, making a faint noise from another spot away from the cry, it stopped, "H-hello?"

"Follow me, where it is safe." The creature spoke making it's voise quieter to make it seem farther. "I will not hurt you small one... but you must be quiet, follow my voice..." one again making the voice sound further.

"Wait! Don't go!" The voice cried.

The creature kept passe ahead of the voice, hearing its tinny taps as it followed, speaking to lead it.

"This way."

...

"Watch you step."

...

"Keep quiet"

...

'Finally! Now he will leave! The light is here!' Thought the pale serpent, truly only felling it's faint heat, being unable to see.

"It's ahead." The serpent spoke out of sight from the voice.

"Won't you come?" The voice asked, the serpent was confused.

"No, I can't." The serpent replied felling more irritated by the voice, 'why won't it leave!" It almost hissed.

"Why not? Don't you want to be outside? in the sun?" The small voice asked.

"No, the light dose not like me, it tries to hurt me so I must live here, but you must go."
