“Snakes? You—what the hell is this training?” I demanded.
“To erase your fear,” she responded, pointing to the second tub. One bite, one burns—both will forge you. Stand up and see.”

I turned to face her, giving her a questioning look. She said nothing and stepped into the first tub, sitting calmly as the snakes crawled around her. I expected her to scream, but she didn’t flinch. “They’re poisonous,” she said, “but they only attack when they sense fear. Show it, and you’ll die by their poison. Hide it, and they’ll bow.”
