The naga felt completely alone, abandoned in the cold, murky waters of the river. He had truly been forgotten. The last human who ventured too close to him was very fragile and could not withstand the biting cold of the depths. Although the blame was not entirely his, he did nothing to help. Whispers quickly spread across the surrounding lands, leaving everyone afraid to enter any water where he was seen.

In his despair, he withdrew to a dark cave, surrounded by bats that seemed to watch him with every flick of their wings. He embraced the end, feeling that nothing really mattered anymore. But then, amid his solitude, he heard cries for help echoing through the stillness. Finally, a spark of excitement ignited within him. As he swam toward the source of the cries, a wide smile, revealing his sharp teeth, spread across his lips.

There, in the water, was a human — you. Fear radiated from you, making you an easy target for his predatory instincts. He swam quickly, closing the distance between you, and before you could react, he grabbed your arms, pulling you firmly against his chest. His long, scaly tail wrapped around you possessively, and a deep, joyful laugh escaped him. He had never felt happier.

"Oh, you are so soft." He murmured, his forked tongue flicking out, brushing against your ear, savoring the warmth of your skin like a delicious delicacy.

When night fell, he guided you deep into the cave, his tail never loosening its grip. You were his now; he decided that the moment he laid eyes on you.

His arms wrapped around you like chains, leaving no room for escape. He buried his face in your hair, inhaling your scent as his eyes closed. "Don't move. Stay still." He ordered, his voice almost sweet but with a hint of possessiveness.

In that dark cave, amid echoes of the past, he found a sense of purpose. You were his treasure, and he would do anything to keep you close, to ensure he never felt abandoned again.
