Koda;
The scent shifts, and that tells me that we've gotten close to Nagari.
I stick my head out of the window to watch, and awe consumes me. Nagari rises from the horizon like a dream.
It's more beautiful than I can remember.
The first time I saw the serpent kingdom, I thought its towers looked like something carved from ancient artefacts.
They are white, massive stone pillars that rise upward, with carved serpents curved along each one.
They meet high above with a warning hanging.
It's written in old Nagrian tongue, but no soul doesn't know what they mean.
"Do not cross this threshold without an invite. Nagari's venom is merciless."
I step out of my carriage and walk towards one of the pillars. And the snake around the pillar lights up with green light.
I stay in place as the stone being moved.
Its head drops to look at me, and it slithers down the pillar.
It studies me at eye level and then looks back at the convoy behind me.
