Kapitel 60: The Great Reversal of Level 1 Background (1)

Father, how has the Polaris Serpent lived?

Was he also born as a small Little Green Snake?

Or was he born white like me?

It's impossible to imagine his larval stage from that massive and majestic form.

Being a snake, he probably didn't start out grand.

There's a high chance he started as a small, weak thread snake.

After birth, he likely competed with his siblings for food.

Maybe he even killed a few uncles or aunts to survive. I've seen the ferocity of baby snakes myself.

After surviving that, he would have left his parents' side.

According to Pelerian, there aren't many snakes with strong paternal or maternal instincts.

It's different from centipedes that carry their young.

Even Medusa Mom didn't do much beyond minimal nurturing.

If Gunter hadn't come looking, and if we had grown too big to cling to our mother's scalp,

Mother would have sent us out into the wild and returned to being bald.
