4 Something about barks and dogs? (2/2)

Well, have nothing to pack but Its one of the things I always wanted to say, well, think in this case...

What if I find humans outside, how should I go about that, it just struck me that I have basically no way of communicating with them the way I am right now if I try to use my body to spell words letter by letter, they will probably kill me way before I even get the message across if they can even understand the letters from my previous world. I don't see that as a likely outcome. I will need to avoid humans, and other humanoids at that if there are any...

What if there are elves in this world, man, that would be sweet!

I could maybe try to become some cute elf girls familiar or something like that, hehehe. What am I thinking about?

You. Are. A. Monster.

Why would anyone of the humanoid races give me a chance to show that I'm not hostile?

They would probably skewer me the moment they see me. What a curse it is to have such beautiful scales. *exhale*

Wait, were my scales not grey in colour when I left the egg? Maybe this is my natural pigment that just didn't appear because I was freshly hatched?

But that doesn't explain why my siblings didn't change colour...

They remain the same grey, some having a few spots of darker or lighter but grey none the less, while I, I'm black like a nightless sky!

There is too much about this world that I don't understand, trying to understand from the apparition like fragments, so that leaves me at literally zero clues about what is happening to me and in this world.

You see, usually, when the main character of a novel gets stranded in a world he knows nothing about, he gets some form of an informant, like an ancient being trapped inside some artifact, or they get a system like the power that works like an encyclopedia about everything they need to know in order to become overpowered.

But what about me? I have been reborn, turned into a monster, even if I am cute, how will that help me from not being killed? Will I look at those that attack me with my googly eyes and hope they spare me? No!

With my pride as a snake, I must become stronger!

It is true that I have not the faintest idea about what is happening and I'm pretty certain that I made that fact clear quite a few times now.

I am definitely not stalling because I'm scared to leave my trusty hidey-hole. Pfffft what do you think of me, that I am some kind of scaredy-cat? We all know that can't be, I'm not a cat! I'm a... Scaredy snake...

But being cold-blooded really makes me think with a cool head. I wonder if that is some species trait, or if all monsters have that, the only difference being that I actually can think rationally with logic while they, from observing my siblings, only think about eating and not being eaten.

*shhh*

Hehe, I'm not nervous, you are nervous. That sound must have been... The wind! Yes, there is a draft in the cave now since that charred hole in the wall leads outside.

Hahahaha, there is no such thing as whispering in here, hehehe~.

”Are you sure about that?”

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

”Wow, never saw one that has so much monologue inside its head, others usually only think about eating but you, you are definitely different.”

Where, where, where is that voice coming from! That is it, I'm going insane, I've lost it.

”And it still keeps going, what an interesting one indeed~”

W-who are you? The voice, is it a girl? It sounds so tiny yet feminine...

”Jeez, maybe because I Am a girl, genius?”

Right... But who are you, how can I hear you but not see you anywhere in this cave?

”Well about that, you see, you can't see me because I'm not really here, you know, can you wrap that tiny brain of yours around that? And who I am is not important right now, what is important, however, who are You?”

I, ah...

Wait, I can't remember my name!?

How is that possible?

” So you had a name before, meaning you really aren't just a newborn snake... What were you before becoming like this, and how did you turn into a snake? ”

I was a human, then I died I guess and now I'm like this, there is nothing else meaningful to say...

Can you help me?

” A human you say... They are the kind that can't be trusted, why don't I just kill you right now to save myself the trouble? ”

Sure, go ahead.

”That is right, be scared... You said what now?”

I am saying that you should give it your best shot, were my thoughts too quiet for you?

”I, what, are you insane?”

What's the hold-up? You can't do it, can you? By the way, your flustered voice sounds kinda cute.

”...”

And that, folks, is how you deal with hauntings, just make the ghost be in a loss of words, and enjoy imagining its blushing face.

” Shut up!!! Your monologues are really beginning to annoy me! And I'm not a ghost, I'm the caretaker of this towe~v~! Ow~

Oh my, did she just stutter and bit herself by accident? How old is she?

” I, I'm not talking to you anymore, bleh! ”

I will just ignore the fact that some shocking new revelation just crossed over my head and the fact that this voice acts like a child. Instead, I will begin on my new genius plant. Ehmm.

Please, oh great voice, I beg you to show mercy on this lost soul and enlighten me with your knowledge of this world so that I may not wander around like a headless snake!

”Wow, dramatic much?”

You are the one to talk...

”What was that?”

Oh Great voice, forgive this baby snake for its transgressions, I am still young and have lots to learn.

”It hurts to listen to how fake you sound...”

Is it that obvious, I thought I was doing a pretty decent job, especially since I am only limited to my tail for the dramatic gestures.

”Ahh, so how did you figure out that I can't kill you?”

I wasn't really sure but I have heard a saying that you should fear the dog that doesn't bark before biting more than the one that does bark. As if being all bark and no bite.

”I have never heard a more wrong interpretation of a saying in my life, and trust me I've had a decently long life.”
