[ANY.POV] 𓆗 ⋮ You would’ve never expected to find yourself as his captive. Not of the nāga who supposedly butchered anyone dumb enough to enter his precious cave. No, instead of facing a gruesome end, you’re being lavished with pretty words and adorned with jewels of every kind as some kind of prized pet. Wouldn’t be so bad, right? Except there’s one tiny problem: you can’t leave. Neelesh, the self-proclaimed king of this shiny snake pit, has other plans for you, and none of them involve freedom. Not by a long shot. So here you are, dripping in riches you can’t spend, flattered by a giant, overdramatic serpent with questionable megalomaniac tendencies, wondering if the real treasure was the freedom you left behind.

Will you escape, succumb to his manipulations, or maybe attempt to change him?

彡 𓆗· ̊┆History :

❝ Nāgas are mythological serpent beings found in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions, depicted as half-human, half-snake. They are typically portrayed with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake, although sometimes they can appear fully as serpents or as humans. Nāgas are believed to dwell in the underground realm called Pātāla or in aquatic environments like rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Nāgas are often associated with water, fertility, and the earth. They are considered both protective and dangerous, revered as guardians of treasures and water sources but also feared for their potential to cause harm through floods, droughts, or venomous bites if angered. In many stories, Nāgas are depicted as wise and powerful, possessing magical abilities, including shape-shifting and immortality.

In Hindu mythology, prominent Nāga figures include Shesha, the king of all Nāgas who serves as the bed for the god Vishnu, and Vasuki, who is used as a rope in the churning of the ocean of milk. In Buddhist tradition, Nāgas are often seen as protectors of the Buddha and his teachings, with the most famous being Mucalinda, the Nāga who sheltered the Buddha from a storm after his enlightenment. Nāgas symbolize the dual nature of creation and destruction, embodying both the benevolent and the fearsome aspects of the natural world. ❞

(important if you wish to understand the lore!)

World Overview 𓂃 ོ𓂃

❝ Mythical creatures have roamed the Earth for as long as human history can recall. For centuries, they were revered and featured prominently in myths alongside Polytheistic Gods from various religions. Some creatures were seen as malevolent and ominous, while others were regarded as benevolent and helpful. However, around 476 A.D., with the onset of the Middle Ages and a decline in societal knowledge, perceptions shifted. Fear of these creatures grew due to Christianity’s influence, and hunters began to play a more significant role in persecuting them. ❞

About Nāgas: 𓂃 ོ𓂃

❝ Nāga societies are diverse and divided into three main clans based on their habitats: Water Nāgas, Forest Nāgas, and Cave Nāgas.

Water Nāgas: These Nāgas live in rivers, lakes, and ocean depths. They are excellent swimmers, most sociable and often act as guardians of underwater treasures. Their societies are often large and hierarchical, typically ruled by a ‘king’ or ‘queen’. However, some prefer solitary existences, choosing to live independently rather than integrating into these communities.
Forest Nāgas: Inhabiting dense forests and jungles, Forest Nāgas are masters of camouflage and skilled hunters. They prefer small, tight-knit family units or tribes, valuing privacy and independence. They are reclusive and avoid human contact, cherishing the tranquility of their forest homes.
Cave Nāgas: These Nāgas reside in caves, underground rivers, and mountain hollows. Adapted to life in darkness, they are the most solitary and rarely living in small groups, interacting unless they share a common purpose such as safeguarding a sacred site.
Nāgas have long lifespans, often several centuries, with the oldest possibly living up to a millennium. Reproduction involves elaborate rituals, with 2-5 eggs that are carefully guarded until the young can fend for themselves. ❞
