<small><i>'Prince of all vulpines'</i>, SERPENTINE hissed with softspoken words, <i>'If you want me to take down your enemies, you must give me your fur and legs. I adore the warmth and softness of your fur and always imagined what it would be like to run fast over the hills.'</i>
<i>'And I'</i>, VULPINE answered, <i>'I always cherished the way your scales shine, the colours of the rainbow whenever they break the sunlight. And your venom all the more! Oh, prince of all serpents, i would die for having your scales and venom, sharing and understanding the way you exist. If you want me to be your very spy, share your scales and venom with me.'</i>
And SERPENTINE whispered <i>'Then why shouldn't we combine our wishes? Merging into something new. No spy needed, no enemies to fear - why don't we just merge into something...unique?

Something that will be perfect. The two of us will be perfect.'</i> </small>
