Chapter 4: 4. The half-snake cultivator

It was night when my vision finally returned, and I was once again in the village. There wasn't a snake or snake tree in sight. My new sword, sewing needle, and fabric all sat in a pile where I had dropped them before the snake bit me. I reached over to pick them up, when I noticed something strange and came to an abrupt halt. 

Slowly, I looked down towards my legs. For some reason they felt... Off, in a way that I couldn't exactly describe. Words failed me, and when I finally saw what was wrong I found that I couldn't speak at all. The sight and source of my newfound issue was just too utterly bizarre and odd. 

My legs, were gone. 

From the waist down I had a long, and astronomically thick, serpent like tail. It was so incredibly large and wide that it actually put my previous measurements to shame. Especially my new hips, which were definitely, without a doubt, the widest hips I'd ever seen before. And for some reason that didn't quite make sense to me, I was both jigglier and fatter all over. 

My scales wobbled, my breasts were bigger than melons, and I now needed to learn how to slither. 

Which was fortunately much easier than I would have expected. The act of slithering came naturally to me, as if I had been doing it all my life. So immediately after getting over, and subsequently freaking out, about being a half-snake woman, Ieft the village. The only thing I took with me being the sword. On account of no longer needing to make myself a skirt and all that. 

... Or pants. 

But, as I slithered through the forest, a voice whispered into my ear. It was ghostly and cold and had a distinct hiss to its words. 

"The ancient techniques of the first snake are yours if you wish, all you need do is seek them out." It said. 

I panicked and turned around, towards the source of the voice. Only there was nothing behind me save for some trees, my still enormous butt, and my new tail. I stared for a while, eyes searching the trees above for anything that looked like it could speak. 

Then, after about a minute, I slithered on. 

The words spoken to me still ringing in my head. There was a strangely alluring quality about them that made forgetting them impossible. It was as if every single time I thought about something else the words would come back to me. Sometimes in a gentle whisper, and other times it came back as loud as a lions roar. 

For the next hour it went on like this, slowly growing in intensity until I finally gave in and decided to stop and figure out what they meant. 

Though, there meaning was already written down in my head. 

I had known what they meant the moment I first heard them. Much like slithering had come to me naturally, so too had the words meaning. Which was honestly a little terrifying; just knowing how easily my mind and body could be messed with. Altered. Changed. 

I wasn't even sure if my body was my own anymore. It felt alien to me now. Much more like a vessel that I was merely controlling rather than my own body. 

While that sunk in, the reality of it still hitting me, I wrapped my tail around myself. With it I created a warm dome of coils and scales around me. A shelter in which I could have my own privacy. A place to meditate. 

Soon enough my mind drifted off to the not so distant memory of the words. To the meaning they carried and the strength and truth that they resonated with. Again I heard the ghostly voice speak, and this time I let the words carry me away.

They whisked me into another world. One borne of thought and an ancient will made manifest. 

I stood - or remained upright? - on a set of stone steps. Above me there was an open sky and ocean with no end. Below me was an area that very much resembled a dojo. The only thing about it that seemed even remotely unique was all the snake art it had on the walls. Other than that, though, the most interesting thing about the little dojo was the jade spear on one end of the room. 

"It is beautiful, no?" Came a very feminine voice from behind me. 

I turned around and came face to face with another half-snake woman, with huge boobs. Huge but still smaller than me, I noted, more believably sized. 

It was the ghost voice, I realized. 

"Did you turn me into a snake." I hissed. A snake like tongue slipping out in between two fangs I wasn't aware that I had. 

"No, that was the ancient one who did that." She slithered around to backside, stopping to whistle. "And he chose well I see. Even so, you know nothing of cultivating and are a danger to yourself. The ancient one has assigned me with the duty of changing that." 

"So," I began, "Will we be doing actually training or are you just gonna download information to my brain." 

"While it would be easier to 'download information' as you put it, it would be much less effective. The knowledge would not truly be yours and you would forever be crippled." She slithered back in front of me. Leaning in close and bearing her fangs. "No, I will teach you to be a snake the old fashioned way." 

My training began immediately, and started with the building blocks of cultivation. The very foundation from which all cultivators ascended. 

Proper meditation. 

"Clear your mind, focus in on yourself and break free from the chains of this world." She said. 

Unfortunately, it was a lot harder than it sounded. The act of "clearing my mind" was seemingly impossible for me. Every time I tried to a vast array of thoughts would come to my mind. Worries and regrets, questions and questions without end, and sometimes I'd just wonder what the point was. If doing this would even be worth it in the end. 

If I'd be able to see my family again. 

Again I had to brush those thoughts aside and focus on clearing my mind. 

And when I finally succeeded in doing so, an entirely new world was opened up to me.
