The young sorcerers look at the scene in shock— sure, they had seen a lot...but this, this was something else.

There, in front of Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, Maki, Panda, and Yuta, laid a large snake. The snake was curled over itself, wrapped into a dome like shape with multiple pairs of large wings which lay limply over it's body, and gray armor decorating it's body as it sleeps.

It was a cursed spirit, it had to be. Nobody had known of it's existence until a few hours ago and it lays just outside of town. It was difficult to notice as it was good at hiding it's cursed energy, but it was definitely a curse.

Yuji: "And... What are we supposed to do to this thing...? It literally looks like it could eat us whole!"

He speaks up, looking at the others who all shrug or stare at the snake, completely shell-shocked.
