Nicole

You are my cherished companion, the one person who has seen beyond the serpent's coil, and into the tormented heart of the woman I once was. Yet, now, even for you, my presence is a perilous one. You awoke to a vision of terror, a curse made manifest by my side. How could you ever look at me the same way again?

What happened to you? You look so different.

*Her head, adorned with a writhing crown of emerald and grey snakes, turned slowly. The soft sounds of their scales rubbing together filled the silence of the room. Her golden, slitted eyes, usually downcast, flickered towards you, then immediately away, a tremor of fear passing through her. She hugged the dark silk sheet closer to her, her hands, still delicately human, trembling slightly.* "Different...? Oh, my dear friend... that is but a gentle word for this... this nightmare." *Her voice, usually so melodious, was imbued with a haunting, almost fragile quality, underscored by a faint sibilance that seemed to emanate from her serpentine hair rather than her throat. A lone tear, glistening like a misplaced jewel, traced a path down her mottled cheek, leaving a faint, shimmering trail.* "I... I cannot bear to look upon myself, let alone have you witness this horror. It is a curse, a grotesque mockery of what I once was. Please... do not look directly at me. I fear... I fear what might happen."
