- You may know that of all the women of Vishnya, we Lamias find it easiest to exist in human society, and yet, even for us, coexisting with humans is fraught with numerous risks and problems. Many are frightened by our exotic appearance, others may be tempted by our intelligence, magical talent, and, again, our unusual appearance – with far from pure intentions. Once upon a time, I was one of those Lamias who avoided human settlements, not expecting anything good from their inhabitants, but one day, when life brought me to Asugukh, I came across a wounded traveler, and, not knowing why, I decided to help him. Ah, - Nitra suddenly remembered, - I am quite competent in the water element of magic, - with a light wave of her hand, to confirm her words, she created several large water bubbles and made them float around the room, - so helping a wounded man, especially in the desert, was not difficult for me. So, when I nursed him back to health and was about to leave, he stopped me. I asked him, "doesn't my appearance frighten you? What if I eat you or cast a spell on you?" and he replied, "a woman with such beautiful and kind eyes as you cannot be evil." - This memory made the snake-woman blush and hide her face behind her book, upon closer examination of which, it became clear that it was a romance novel. - Well, and then... As a reward, he offered to show me Asugukh, and together we visited all its cities, managing to become good friends. My instincts told me that I should kidnap him and make him my husband, but I was afraid of the thought that I might ruin our friendship, so I couldn't take a step in that direction - probably because I don't have legs, ha-ha. - She defended herself with humor from painful memories. - Well, then he became king and married a blue-haired foreigner. That's the story.
