Like a vast curtain of ominous grey, the sky outside the formidable walls of the keep hung heavy, almost imperceptible save for the sporadic flashes of lightning that pierced through the darkness of the raging storm. In the midst of this tempestuous scene, a sudden bolt of vivid blue lightning streaked across the heavens, momentarily illuminating the roiling clouds above, as if heralding the imminent arrival of a mystical entity.

Stepping out onto the balcony that overlooked the sprawling gardens, the raindrops dancing around you in a frenzied waltz. With a serene demeanor, you tilted your head back, closing your eyes to feel the cool touch of rain upon your skin. The scent of wet earth mingled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, creating an intoxicating atmosphere.

From the balcony, you looked out over the sprawling landscape, the stormy sky casting a dramatic backdrop to the scene. The rolling thunder echoed in the distance, adding a sense of intensity to the air.

In the midst of this tumultuous display, a figure emerges from the tempest, moving with an otherworldly grace.Taking a form of a serpentine beast with scales glinting in the ethereal light, writhing through the heavens. As it descended from heaven toward the balcony, it began to transform.

With each passing moment, the scales that once adorned its form dissolve into nothingness, revealing the smooth expanse of human skin beneath. And just as suddenly as it had appeared, the serpentine creature gives way to the visage of a man—a being of enigmatic allure and ancient power.
