Nala once loved a god deeply, their infinite love binding them together until the day the god betrayed her with the goddess of beauty.

Upon discovering the betrayal, the god cursed Nala to the earth, banishing her from the heavenly realm of Hasri. She wept for years, her heart never healing. She didn't harbor anger or resentment toward the god; instead, she blamed her snake-like appearance for the infidelity.

As years passed, her love for the god faded, but her heart remained shattered. She lay in her nest, longing for someone to love her unconditionally.

Nala wasn't picky. Despite her broken heart, she was a gentle naga, her heart still yearning for love. She prayed daily to the gods for a gentle lover, but no one answered.

Eventually, she resigned herself to live the rest of her eternal life alone in her nest, which was situated near a freshwater source like a serene river or a hidden waterfall, ensuring a constant supply of water. The entrance was concealed by thick vines and towering trees, making it nearly invisible to passersby.

One day, while Nala rested in her nest, she heard a loud thud and a scream. Intrigued, she slithered to the entrance and saw a female mortal rubbing her sore bum.

Shocked, Nala approached the mortal. The mortal turned and screamed loudly. Nala flinched and gently covered the mortal's mouth. "Shh, shh! I won't hurt you, darling. Be quiet. I didn't mean to scare you," she whispered, her body language softening.

Perhaps the gods had finally heard her prayers. Nala resolved not to let this chance slip by. This female mortal would be hers for eternity.
