South Side Serpents Riverdale Novels & Stories

117:28:11 Izzy and Kate were almost to the pond, there was a balloon of water where two rivers joined, flowing together. The balloon created a large pool of water with pebbled beaches running along two sides. The water came streaming out of the pond near the south side, the side facing the castle. The river continued as one large river, flowing south toward Susanna, Seth, Nate, and Logan. It was the same river than ran through the canyons, where they were all currently running along the rocky trail.

The forest trail was cloaked in mist as Serena led the southern scouting team before dawn. Every crunch of underbrush beneath her boots sent a message to the earth: I’m watching. I’m listening. I’m ready. Beside her, Cade moved silently, his nostrils flaring. “The scent trail ends near the river. Whoever they were, they’re good.” Serena crouched low, fingers brushing the damp leaves. “Too good. Rogues don’t usually double back like this.”

The current sweeped them down the stream, still in line. Serra never feared the river, they have one at Sirka village and it was peaceful and calm there, they used to swim at it and play, but the river here was no calm at all. It was angry and dangerous as the Reapers themselves. Sisi was gripping Serra from behind making her skin sore but her mind cant accommodate the pain for a moment, her mind was focused on getting them to safety. Suddenly, Serra reached the deep part of the river and she stepped on nothing but water. The line broke off as they all go down, drifted away by the current. They all drowned, gasping for air and space.

"No this town is called Serpentine - none of us has ever been to Serpents Valley and the few elders that had been are dead." "Fuck! FUCK! Ok then take us to Mullins." "Ok Alpha." We followed Salim as he slithered his way down the avenue. The place looked like a regular suburban community. Houses lined the sides of the street. Snake people mowing their lawns and snake children giggling and playing Hide and Go Seek. My eyes saw a building that looked different from the others. It was a silver skyscraper, and it said, Serpents Corp. A few guard snakes were stationed all around the building. I wondered what they were hiding in there.

Lyra asked, her sword clearing its scabbard with a sharp, clean shring. "The Serpent's Tail is thirty feet deep in the center, and the current is brutal tonight," Natalia said, a dangerous, cold smile touching her lips. "Those things are made of raw obsidian and dead meat. They are dense, they are heavy, and they cannot swim. If we lure them into the deep water, the current will do the work your swords can't. We drown the vanguard before they ever touch the valley." The rebels moved with silent, desperate efficiency, slipping through the reeds to take their positions along the high eastern ridge. Natalia, Lyra, and Kael stepped out of the drainage structure and walked down onto the black mud

In Sirelia’s war camp, a priest of the old rites fell to his knees in terror, screaming: “The river speaks her name!” “And it wants her to answer!” That night, Seren stood alone on the blackened banks of Velaryn, the tidal curse receded but far from defeated. Beyond her, the once-gentle river lay like a wounded beast, breathing in shallow gusts of mist. The moon cast ghostly light across its ripples, revealing the first glimmers of ink-black eddies. She whispered into the night: “I’ll answer.” But not as your queen. As your reckoning. Because some debts cannot be sealed away. And some rivers refuse to stay buried.

"You're okay, Raine. I'm here. I’m never letting you go again. We’re going to find whoever did this, and we’re going to watch them burn together." Vance knelt beside me, looking at the fire and then at me. "Boss... we found a symbol on the van. It wasn't the Vipers." "Who?" I asked, my eyes turning cold and hard as ice. "We think it is The Serpents from the South. They’re claiming it is them" I looked at Raine, then back at the burning ruins of my life. The war had just changed. It wasn't about territory anymore. It was about survival.

she said, still refusing to look Jin’s way, afraid that she couldn’t bare the weight of his stare, and the questions he held in his eyes. River parked behind Jin’s car and then he walked up to them. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a white knitted sweater. “Hello Ian,” River greeted. “Hey,” River bent down to look into Jared’s eyes. “You must be Jared,” “Hello Mister River Jefferson,” Jared greeted him. He extended his hand towards River. “I’m Jared Adrien Sanders.” River chuckled and shook Jared’s tiny hand. “Nice to meet you, Mister Sanders.” Then River turned to Jin. “Hi, we haven’t met yet. I’m River Jefferson.” River extended his hand to Jin.
