When Rina got to the eyes of the snake, noticed that the path under her feet moved constantly and then she realized that she was stepping on something unknown and alive.
"Welcome, stranger "– hissed the reptile. "You massaged my back with your feet. I have been lying here for such a long time. My only duty is to hunt and to digest. I can’t move. I am too heavy. Maybe you will tell me something about yourself" – said the snake, looking at Rina.
"Did you see the black jaguar?" – asked the girl.
"I see them all the time, but not on this side of the world. You are very mysterious. I heard a lot of stories, sharpening my appetite, but you seem very boring and tasteless. I am seriously disappointed" – hissed the snake. "Maybe I will at least swallow your feet; they seem to be interesting, talkative."
"No, they aren’t interesting at all" – replied Rina, looking around and searching for the way to outwit the creature. "Maybe, you’re right. I don’t need your feet. I only eat things that are useful and sufficiently desirable. The more I know about something the more desirable it becomes. The Warriors aren’t interesting at all since they seem to know little of themselves" – hissed the snake. "Here you are; the wild cat you have been searching for." The jaguar sat down close to the girl and looked at the snake meaningfully.. The reptile put out its tongue.
"No, not today" – murmured the wild cat. "We have things to go about in the primaeval forest."
Rina looked at the jaguar, surprised. "We do have things to go about in the primaeval forest?" – echoed the girl.
