The little snake spirit glided through the dark cave, his translucent green body illuminating the dusty floor.
Yue Yue slithered closely behind him, her small white tail dragging.
Although he had already shown her the hollow rock where he slept, the dry stone ledge where he ate, and the empty caverns where he had spent countless years alone, she still could not understand how anyone could live in such a place for so long.
There was nothing here. No warm sunlight. No soft bed. No mother. No father. No family and no friends. Only endless, suffocating darkness.
Yue Yue quietly looked around, her heart heavy with longing for home.
Suddenly, the little spirit froze in mid-air. He turned his translucent head and looked down at her, his ghostly eyes wide with a strange, sudden realisation as if a long-buried memory had violently burst to the surface.
"Wait..." he whispered, his wings fluttering frantically.
Yue Yue blinked her gemstone blue eyes. "What?"
