They swooped. For centuries the
traditional foe. But for his
father’s lifetime, that border had

Rival kingdoms crushed under the
weight of their advance. For years,
the new king had secretly built up

elephant’s foot. People’s
subjugated, cultures destroyed.
King Nagin was triumphant. Only
the “Great Snake” could rule.
