Typhon woke up early.
In the cave, his concept of time was shoddy but he always woke up with plenty of time to spare before the others. And today was no exception.
Moments like this were the only times he got to be on his own. Well, as alone as anyone could be in a cave of 30 sleeping snakes, no make that 31.
All around him, snakes were sprawled in awkward sleeping positions everywhere, a reminder of the intense training they endured the day before. He even had to push away a snake that was in his way to get up – he had Ophelia to thank for his less than ideal sleeping spot.
But now, as he looked towards his sister, a mild annoyance flitted across in his dark eyes, when he saw that 'she' was nowhere to be seen.
And here he thought today was going be a quiet day.
The spot was still warm so it couldn't have been long since she left.
