Elena was returning from school, but her steps felt so heavy as if the earth had suddenly seized her. The five-year-old little girl, whose face was marked by lines of innocence and beauty, was suddenly feeling something else today—an unknown fear, a soft noise, hidden deep within her heart. It was as if every leaf rustled in the school's backyard was trying to tell her something. She held the rim of her backpack with her small fingers, but her eyes were constantly on the ground where nothing was ever visible, but today something was different.
Small movements, small shadows, everything was whispering around her. And then, suddenly, the little golden snake that had been hiding in her little world until now appeared on the ground like tiny flames of light. It came close to her feet, and began to circle around her little body, as if to say: "Danger is near, but I am with you."
Elena tried to calm her heart. Her parents had never been able to sense this, but she knew that this little golden snake was nothing more—it was someone's power, someone's presence, and there was magic protecting it. She placed her hand over the snake, and immediately felt a scent, a faint warmth, as if light was emanating from the snake's body.
Meanwhile, somewhere far away, the Serpent Prince was feeling his hidden power. His eyes were sharp and bloodshot. He knew that Elena, who had once been his prisoner, was now alive and safe. But greed, anger, and centuries of revenge were all present in his gaze. "This is impossible… that energy, that presence, it's all betraying me…" She clutched her chest. The power he had used in his captivity was nowhere to be seen, and this feeling was fueling him even more.
On the ground, beside the little golden snake at Elena's feet, there were several more golden snakes, moving at every moment to protect her. They moved stealthily, detecting every danger, and forming a protective circle around Elena. Elena felt all this, but her innocent eyes only saw light and heat, as if a hidden guardian was present with her.
At that moment, a strange dream woke up in Elena's heart. She saw that she was in a large forest, filled with golden light, and there the seraph was close to her in the form of a little golden snake. He was looking at her, his small eyes showing a glimmer of love and protection. Elena immediately took a deep breath, and a new feeling woke up in her heart—she was safe, and no one could harm her.
Somewhere far away, the power of the Serpent Prince suddenly caused the earth to shake slightly. He began to gather his energy, seriously monitoring every snake, every magical move. He thought, "If I don't come now, this energy will slip out of my hands again… and I will never be able to stop it." But the Seraph had already set up his safety net. Beneath the ground, every little root, every leaf, every shadow, all felt his movement and immediately became firm in place.
Elena's heart beat faster. She placed her small hands on the snake's body, and suddenly it felt as if all the snake, all the light, and every little moment, were revealing the Seraph's presence. He said softly, "You are with me, right?" The little golden snake paused for a moment, and then small bubbles of light began to appear around it, as if answering: "Always, always."
At the same time, the Seraph Prince's gaze fell on Elena, and he paused slightly. He felt that this energy was now not just magic, but filled with love and protection. His power was no longer being felt in a human prison, but through a little girl and her little protector. It was a moment that shook him immensely—it hurt, it angered him, and at the same time, it awakened the feeling that this moment was beyond his control.
Elena stopped in the school garden, and small circles of light formed around the little golden snake. She felt that her innocent eyes had yet seen everything that an ordinary person could not see. Every little leaf on the ground, every little shadow, everything was busy protecting her. She thought in her heart that it was all Seraph, her love, her protection, and that she was always with her.
During this time, there was a burning fire in the eyes of the Serpent Prince, but he restrained his power. The safety net hidden under the ground was holding him back. He knew that if he attacked immediately, both Seraph and Elena would be safe, but now he was patient, gathering his strength again, and waiting for the moment to think.
Elena's parents tried to take her inside, but she said with her small hand, "Let me wait…" She silently watched the little golden snake, which she still did not understand, but she was sure that it was the presence of a secret guardian.
This moment was the beginning of a new world not only for Elena, but also for Seraph. This little girl and her tiny golden guardian had become the beginning characters of a whole story together. And the Serpent Prince… He still had his eyes fixed on Elena and her guardian, planning his revenge one day, but for now, he was just watching, being patient, and gathering his strength.
At the same time, a new feeling awakened in Elena's heart—she felt with her heart for the first time that love was not just for humans, but could also be a combination of protection, magic, and truth. She placed her tiny hands on the snake, and the tiny golden snake came closer to her, touching her hand with its head, giving her a soft and calming feeling.
All this was just the beginning, but this day showed for a moment how love, protection, and magic could work together. Elena felt in her heart for the first time that she was safe, and that the Seraph's presence could defeat every threat to her, no matter how great and terrifying.
