Tale As Old As Time
Crouching down at a safe distance, Fyn pointed towards his chest, "Are you... talking to me?"
"There is no one else here," The smooth voice said again. Fyn realized the voice was actually inside his head. The snake was speaking to him telepathically. As if things weren't already strange enough. "I am talking to you, mortal."
Fyn hugged his knees to his chest, "A talking snake."
"That is right," The snake's voice echoed inside his mind again. "You do not seem surprised."
"I'm captured by a demon," Fyn pointed out. "I think nothing is more surprising than that."
