Time passed silently, as if she herself were the confidant of the secrets of this story. Elena was slowly growing up, and with each passing day, her beauty was blossoming into something that was far beyond ordinary human beauty. There was a depth in her eyes, as if she had seen much, although she herself did not remember anything. Innocence and sadness coexisted on her face, and this combination would stop anyone who saw her once. People were often forced to say that there was something extraordinary in this girl, something that could not be described in words. But no one knew that her soul had once touched death and returned with the promise of a great love.
The Seraph was with her every moment, sometimes in the form of a visible golden snake, sometimes simply as a silent presence. He cared for Elena more than his own life. Her every breath, every step, every dream was under the protection of the Seraph. Whether it was day or night, joy or fear, the Seraph's gaze never left Elena's for a moment. Elena now knew that this golden snake was no ordinary animal. She also began to realise that whenever a threat approached, this small golden creature would become restless, start circling around her, and a strange warmth would fill the air.
Elena found a unique peace with this golden snake. When she was sad, just feeling it near was enough. Her heartbeat would slow, her breathing would become even, and her fear would seem to dissolve. She often thought to herself when she saw it that snakes are usually a symbol of fear, but why did it give her a sense of security, acceptance, and comfort? Sometimes she would smile and say to herself, "I'm afraid of snakes... but not of you." And each time the golden snake seemed to understand her words and come closer.
On the other hand, the Serpent Prince sat in his dark world, looking at Elena in the magic mirror. He had learned of Elena's rebirth, and this knowledge had brought a new storm to his heart. In his first life, he had not been able to obtain Elena, but this time, he felt more powerful than ever. He had absorbed centuries of magic, blood rituals, and dark forces within himself. But there was one thing he still did not understand—the true power of the Seraph. He did not know that the Seraph was not just a protector, but a force that was born of love, and made invincible by love.
The passion that the Seraph had for Elena in his heart was not hatred, not even completely. It was a strange, complex emotion—desire, obsession, and a first love that he had hidden even from himself. When he first saw Elena in his captivity, that moment had become a weakness for him. But he buried the truth within himself, because a serpent prince could not be weak. Now, when he saw Elena growing young in the magic mirror, his heart would fill with an unknown pain. He did not want Elena to die. He wanted her… to have her… even if he had to fight the whole world for it.
The Tsarina did not know about Elena's rebirth until now. She was engrossed in her power, her rule, and her intrigues. But the Serpent Prince knew that this secret could not remain hidden for long. Time was coming, and time always reveals the truth.
Elena was about to turn seventeen, and her dreams were deepening day by day. They were no longer blurry. Now they had colours, sounds, pain, and love. She dreamed of a dark forest, black snakes, golden light, and a voice that called to her. Sometimes she would dream of herself dying, sometimes of someone screaming for her. After each dream, she would wake up trembling, drenched in sweat, and her heart pounding.
She would tell Seraph all her dreams. She would sit in front of the golden snake and slowly tell it all, as if she knew that this being would understand her. She would say, "Snakes scare me so much in my dreams… that darkness, that rustling… but it's strange, you never scare me." Seraph would remain silent in front of her, but a storm would rage in his heart. He knew that the memories were coming back. He knew that the truth could not be hidden for long.
Seraph would say to himself, "Because you are my soul… my life. Soon you will remember everything, and we will be one again." But he could not say these words to Elena yet. He wanted the memories to return at their own pace, without any coercion, without any trauma.
Elena's beauty was now becoming a test. Not only for others, but for Seraph as well. It was becoming harder and harder for him to control himself. He was no longer just a protector; he was a lover, a lover who held back even when he was close to his beloved. He knew that if the truth came out too soon, the dangers would increase. The Tsarina, the Serpent Prince, and the dark forces would all awaken.
At the same time, the Serpent Prince was also going through the same struggle. His heart would beat faster when he saw Elena in the magic mirror. He hated himself for this weakness, but he couldn't deny it. He never wanted Elena to die. He wanted her to be with him, to be the queen of his world, even if it meant shedding blood for her.
Time was approaching. Her seventeenth birthday was approaching. The moment the old wizard had said, "The doors of memories open at this age." Dreams were deepening, magic was awakening, and dark shadows were stirring.
Love, once a salvation, was now about to become a cause for war.
And this… was only the beginning.
The silence of the night had enveloped the forest, the branches of the trees were slowly moving, as if some unknown force was moving them, and a strange moisture and magic were mixed in the air, which seemed to beat in the heart with every breath. Elena, who was now seventeen years old, was in a deep sleep, but her dreams were as vivid as reality. Behind the veil of her eyes was a world that only she could see, and there was a mixture of fear, love, and power in every scene. At that moment, the Serpent Prince took his secret step. He knew that before launching an open attack, he would have to enter Elena's mind, her dreams, because he had understood that breaking through the seraph's protective barrier was impossible with a direct attack. His feet were not touching the ground, but he was gliding through the forest floor, completely silent, like a faint shadow, with his magical energy. With each step, he slowly moved towards the golden snakes surrounding Elena, who, instead of their usual protection, seemed to sense his arrival momentarily and became alert, but their light rustling and the golden mist hidden in the surrounding light gave no clear indication of his presence. The Serpent Prince's gaze was locked on the magic mirror, and with each step, his power was increasing. He was absorbing centuries of magic, blood rituals, and the forces of the dark world into his soul so that in an instant, he could enter Elena's dream and take advantage of the weaknesses and fears hidden in her mind. In Elena's dream, she was standing in a deep, foggy and shadowy forest. The rustling from within the earth and the traces of the earth's tremors, which were reflected in the golden and black light, told her that there was someone powerful here, but she had no idea what this force was. The Serpent Prince created a small ray with his magical energy, which gradually dissolved into the earth and took the form of a black fog, and from within this fog, he began to send his presence into Elena's dream, so that his presence could be felt, but no physical harm would be done. Elena suddenly opened her eyes and felt that the air in the forest was heavier than usual, the rustling of the trees was more distinct, and some rustling was rising from under the earth, which had never been felt before. At that moment, her heart began to beat faster, because she knew that there was someone, someone who had invaded her dreams. But she was not afraid, because the golden snakes surrounding her, who took the form of seraphs, immediately moved and began to protect her. The Serpent Prince saw this, and for the first time, a mixed feeling of regret and danger arose in his heart, because he knew that this army of golden snakes could not be defeated by his power alone, and he would have to use his magical wisdom. He sent out a ray of golden and black light hidden in the fog with his energy, which was slowly trying to penetrate the defences of the golden snakes, but with each movement it was strengthening the protection of the golden snakes. Elena, who was now feeling the intensity of the fear hidden within her even in her dream, saw the light in the eyes of the Serpent Prince along with the presence of this ray, which was slowly penetrating her mind in the form of images. For the first time, she felt.
It was clear that this was no ordinary enemy, but an existence that had already caused her feelings of love and struggle. At this moment, the Serpent Prince also added the intensity of his heart to his magic in order to penetrate Elena's dreams and create the hidden desire for himself in her heart, and gradually seduce her towards him. But Elena immediately felt the presence of the golden snake, and she placed her little finger on the ground and created a magical light, which strengthened the army of golden snakes and dissolved the Serpent Prince's fog ray. Seeing this, the Serpent Prince made his magic more powerful, filled the energy of his soul into the fog, and for a moment created a heavy layer of smoke and light in the dream, so that Elena's attention would be on him, and he would hide his true intention. Elena felt that there was someone powerful in that light, but her eyes were not afraid,
because she felt the proximity of the seraph, who was protecting her in the form of a golden snake. A strange combination of fear and curiosity arose in Elena's heart, and for the first time in her dream, she dared to speak. "Who are you?" Her voice seemed to swell in the fog, but the Serpent Prince answered immediately, but without words, through waves of his energy. He wanted Elena to feel his power, but with a mixed feeling of love and fear, so that a complex conflict arose in her heart. During this time, the golden snake felt the ray hidden within the fog for a moment and surrounded Elena more tightly with the light spreading like its wings, so that no force could get close to Elena. Seeing this, the Serpent Prince made his steps more secretive and slow, dividing his soul power into weak waves from the depths of the earth, in order to deceive the golden snakes, but each time he failed. Elena was now awake in her dream, fear and curiosity were growing in her heart, and she felt that this was not an ordinary attack, but a secret strategy, which was creating a struggle between her and her protector. The Serpent Prince used all his strength, deepening the fog, darkening the light, in order to capture Elena's feelings and dreams, but each time the presence of the golden snake thwarted his wisdom. At that moment, the Serpent Prince combined all the weakness of his heart, the love hidden within him, and the madness of centuries, with his magical energy, to create a place for himself in Elena's heart, and she was involuntarily drawn to him, but the presence of the Seraph in the depths of Elena's heart limited his intention forever.
The Nag Prince left, extremely angry, because he still hadn't been able to reach Alina's dreams, where Saraf had now arrived with his army of golden snakes. Today, for the first time, the Prince saw Alina up close. Ever since her previous incarnation, he had always watched her through magical mirrors. Seeing her near him in person now drove him almost mad. He was determined to possess Alina at any cost and make her the queen of his world.
The serpent prince's cunning intelligence and ruthless will knew no bounds. He had begun a new conspiracy within his dark world, a plan that was not only an attempt to bring Elena into his possession but also a plan to counter the power of the seraph. His goal was clear—to make Elena the queen of his world and bring her completely under the influence of his magic. He knew that the seraph's golden serpent army was the biggest obstacle in his way, but he did not give up. Every night, he sat in front of his magic mirror and monitored Elena's dreams, studying her every move and developing his powerful magical powers.
In his magical castle, every room contained dark lights, dangerous spells, and traces of blood. Every corner here reflected his power and bloodshed. According to the old magician's estimation, this world of the Snake Prince was a completely dark kingdom, where no ray of light reached, and every living snake, every snake, obeyed his queens. But there was another being in this world who was a constant threat to the Snake Prince's
Power and Possession — Zarrin, the queen of snakes, who spent the nights of her life with other powerful snakes, used to light her body on fire with them so that she could gain strength from them and compete with living snakes at any time.
Zareen was a cruel and ruthless queen. She lived with her powerful, magical serpents at night, gathering her strength among them, and she would not leave them until one of the serpents died. The scope of her rule and cruelty was so wide that the serpents and nagini of the entire serpent world began to hate her. She was so lost in her power that she would not allow any serpent to live. Whoever opposed her, severe punishment was prepared against him. Every serpent and nagini would become a prayer that one day they would be freed from the grip of this cruel queen.
The conspiracy of the serpent prince was clear in Elena's dream. He was trying to capture Elena with his magic within a strong and hidden world. He magically connected every mirror in his castle to Elena's dreams, so that she would feel his presence at every moment. But despite all his plans, Seraph had thwarted every attack with his golden serpent army. In Elena's dream, the Seraph's footsteps were slowly approaching, but the Seraph was always there a moment before his path.
The rule of Zareen and the Seraph's conspiracy were parallel to each other, but the goal was the same—to counter the power of Seraph and Elena. Zareen gathered her strength through her powerful day and night serpents, and Seraph increased his strength through his magical mirrors and blood rituals. The powers of both had increased to such an extent that fear and terror spread throughout the Seraph world.
In Elena's dream, she herself felt weak, but every time Seraph's presence was near her, she began to feel strong. Seraph's golden serpent had formed a protective circle around her, eliminating all danger. But the tricks of the Tsarina and the Nag Prince were sometimes so intricate that even this circle would shake a little. A mixture of fear and curiosity would arise in Elena's heart—she knew something big was about to happen, but she still didn't fully understand her true power or the reality of her life.
Every night in Tsarina's world was a new test. She lived among the Nags, increasing her strength and performing exercises with them that only the most powerful Nags could do. Every night, she would become so drunk with her rule and power that every Nag and Nagini around her trembled in fear of her power. She could not move without her command, and no Nag or Nagini would dare to oppose her. Her cruelty and power forced the entire Nag world to hate her.
On the other hand, the Seraph Prince, who was now constantly plotting in Elena's dream, tried to get closer to Elena every night through his plan. But the Seraph's golden army and the power of his love thwarted his plot every time. For the Seraph Prince, this was an unbearable reality—he was powerful, but his strength seemed helpless in the face of Seraph's love and loyalty. Every night when he came to Elena's dream, he felt his weakness, and this weakness would create hatred and madness in his heart.
For Elena, all this was a state between reality and dream. She knew that there was a protector around her, but she did not know his true identity. She was afraid, but Seraph's presence gave her protection and comfort. A feeling arose in her heart of love and trust, which strengthened her spirit. In Seraph's proximity, she began to forget her fear and feel safe.
Despite every plot of the Serpent Prince, the power of Zareen and his tyrannical rule spread fear and terror throughout the Serpent World. Serpents and Serpents prayed that one day they would be free. Zareen's nightly practice of power and the Serpent Prince's plotting were parallel to each other, creating the scene before a terrible war.
For Seraph, it was all a constant challenge. He knew that every danger could approach Elena, but his love and loyalty never gave up. Every night, he came to Elena's dreams in the form of a golden snake, watching over her and removing every danger.
