She gave birth to two children who turned into snakes at dawn. Although she hesitated at first, she kept them. But with each passing day, the snakes grew larger and larger, and so did her fear. She asked a shaman if she should kill them, believing that one day they would become so large that they would begin to devour humans, but he warned her that if she did so, she too would die. The wise man told her to return them to their father’s home, so she returned the snakes to the river. Endowed with the instincts of snakes and their father’s powers, they spent their childhood in nature, with only each other as companions. When they grew older, they ventured out to explore humanity and returned to their mother, who was relieved that she had followed the shaman’s advice and believed she could open her heart to them—even when wearing their scales. However, by day they took the form of gigantic snakes that terrified even the bravest of men, and their mother could do little to overcome the dread she felt. Therefore, the siblings only spent time with people at night, and at sunrise they would go into the forest, where they remained in the form of wild beasts. The siblings grew up together and were very close friends, enjoying the bonds of family. The boy, Norato, grew up loving people. A hardworking and intelligent young man—charismatic and pleasant—he had many friends. Brave and heroic, he helped those who got lost in the forest at night. By day, in the river, he would herd the fish toward the fishing boats. He hunted monsters and wild beasts and defeated criminals in both forms. He stirred the passions of women, which also brought him many conflicts. Norato had a naturally affectionate spirit and many virtues, but he was still a young man with the natural vices of his age—vices that his upbringing in the jungle had failed to curb and that were ultimately enabled by his strength and beauty. He had fleeting romances at late-night parties, but his form prevented him from staying permanently with any of his lovers. Maria, the sister, liked Norato and enjoyed his company and affection. However, all her humanity was reserved for her brother. To the rest of the world—whether humans, animals, or monsters—she showed only the dark and cold side of her heart. She hunted and killed animals not only out of hunger or to enjoy the act of eating, but for fun and on whims. She took particular delight in small animals and young ones. With humans, she enjoyed scaring away schools of fish to frustrate fishermen. It didn’t take long before she began capsizing boats and, from there, dragging and entangling victims as they drowned. Intelligent and seductive, she enjoyed using her human form to seduce men, whose romances always ended at sunrise with their deaths. The killing was usually by constriction, as she liked to feel “life leaving and death arriving.” Cunning as she was, Norato’s sister did not attack the people who became involved with his brother—both because she cared for him and because she recognized that he was one of the few who had the strength to confront her. Norato, however, gradually began to notice her wickedness. At first, he tried to talk to her; then they argued; then they fought.  Maria, in her serpent form, was larger and stronger than Norato in the same form. In human form, Norato lured her to a river that gradually narrowed, and when she became momentarily trapped, his brother killed her. After what happened, Norato began to long to rid himself of his serpent form forever. But to do so, a brave person had to drip three drops of breast milk into the mouth of his serpent form and then strike his head with a virgin iron blade until it bled slightly. The one who accomplished this feat was a soldier friend of his who managed to break the spell. Norato, now free from the curse, married a woman with whom he had fallen in love. Now, as a man and a human, he had a responsibility toward her and their children. However, when Norato was still a wild young man, he had children with other women—children who inherited some of his gifts. With a heavy heart, he searched for them and did everything he could as the one responsible for their lives. What he didn’t know was that Maria had also had children—children she had left at the doors of a house and others near a church... Edit: 3 more story posts
