My new boss threw a folder on my desk and told me to read them.
The folder contained files of ballads such as Allison Gross,The Laidley Worm and the Machral of the Sea and Kemp Owyne.As well there was a file on a report by Ptolemy,consisting of gigantic snakes in India which fought with elephants in India.
What did this have to do with me?
My boss said they believed there were more snake people like myself scattered through time.They were afraid to leave these serpents(worms) remain in their own time period cause reports suggested such snake people usually ended up dead on the end of some white knights lance.
They wanted me to go go in time and rescue these "worms" and bring them back to our own time where they would be better appreciated.
My boss told me to read closely one file titled The Saga of Hjalmter and Vargeisa.Though the saga described her as a monster mare they had reason to believe she was really a snake person.
I was about to be sent back to 10th century Denmark to rescue Vargeisa from an untimely death at the hands of a rogue viking hero.
