As the egg burst open, a bright light shined and by the pulling of some strings of fate by the gods Moritor's soul was absorbed in the bright light along with his body.
When the light dimmed enough to see the new creature that had been born somewhat snakelike, a monster birthed of scale and death, one with 4, radiant red eyes, black diamond scales, two arms, two tales, and a sinister ridge of spikes poking along its spine from three great goat like horns along it brow ridge. As the creature not quite knowing where and what is happening suddenly has the instinct to eat the remnants of its egg. As the creature finished devouring its shell, it slid slowly across the moist stone and dirt ground. As the creature neared the surface it hissed loudly at the sunlight that streamed through the opening and slid back into the darkness.
3 Hours later...
As the sun slowly crawled downward in the sky, the unknown creature slowly slid and clawed its way out of the dank cave toward the town in the midst of the great valley, this because unknown to the snake like creature its soul was still a changed version or Moritor's whom bore a great resentment for every being living in that forsaken town. Across the ground it moved until finally it moved into the town as the harbinger of death for that night. The creature killed and ate with no one more the knowing and ate everything, children, mother, fathers and not. It Bit it's victims with long fangs and delivering a potent poison and slowly swallowing them while they lied in silent horror. Much blood was spilt that night and many souls were delivered back to the circle of reincarnation.
The creature sulked its way out of the desolate town now a size reasonably bigger and its infant mind more evolved to the point of a state of mind, without only instinct driving it. The now 4 meter long terror now flicked out its great tongue looking for more prey. "THERE" Its mind called a slight wiff of a smell so foul that it could only be a some lesser creature of evil came from the south and toward the opening of the great valley.
As the creature slithered its way toward the smell the sun slowly rose, a burning sensation soon became apperent on the creatures skin and this sensation soon became so painful that the creature wailed and screeched unholy sounds as it was being transformed by the sun and the magical air that it brought. As the changed occurred its oily black scales soon developed a slight few particles of gold and its horns and claws developed a blood red hue at the tip. As these transformations began to wane the agonizing sensation began to stop. The creature layed unconscious for another few hours until the putrid smell once again was caught by the unconscious snake startling it into a waking state.

Now, the creature once again starting its slow slithering pace towards the origin of the smell, only to arrive at dawn and discover a score of foul smelling goblins out for a hunt. The creature now with its more developed mind had gained a slight sense of danger, knowing that if it were to rush directly into the oncoming battle it would come out with injuries. So, the creature slowly slithered up a tree in the path the goblins would go, and as they passed the last goblin pacing 6 steps behind the group was targeted by the creature. fast as lightning the snakes body uncoiled, its muscles pushing against the tree as it lunged for the neck and the creature's claws aiming for its eyes. "Hoof!" The goblin was shoved into the foliage at the side making a small rustling sound as the creature slowly sucked the succulent blood from the goblins neck and began chomping on its foul flesh. The other 5 goblins kept walking none the wiser and slowly each stragaler was hunted and killed until it was noticed when only three remained. The goblins stupid as they are shouted challenge out to the dead forest finding nothing but darkness returning as their awnser. Each goblin growing wearier and tireing from the constant caution began to let their guard town giving a perfect opportunity to the creature the snaked above to once again target them, but it did so in a different way from before. Bursting throught the tree it bit every goblin in less than a single breath delivering its potent paralysis to each. The goblins out of their wits tried to flee, but they were overtaken by the poisen and started to fall. As each goblin terrified of their prominent death began to shake in their state. The creature slowly uinhindged its jaw and started slowly swallowing the first goblin, the sticky insides of its mouth digesting the goblin as it was being slowly covered by the horrifying maw until finally done the creature eating everything on the goblins, weapons and all dissolving in the gooey juices of its insides.
The creature soon curled up and lay there in a slow resounding sleep, looking like only a large black boulder from afar. During its sleep, it once again began to change, its two tails slowly gained a sharp hardened point made for piercing, and its horns curling backwards and towards the center of its back, where it sprouted several fin like appendages connecting to its arms and along its back seemingly made for some type of gliding. Its snout grew further and became more pronounced and snake like with a small ridge of spike snaking along its snout. Its mouth grew several small teeth behind its more prominent ones looking like a demon horror from hell. While this occurred its mind awoke from its state becoming much more devolped until it reached a point of mind that only the best tacticians have. It slept like this absorbing the ambient mana and digesting the remnents of the goblins for a long period of time until moss, wrapped along its taunt body vines grew around it, now looking like A groove of mangled vines, rocks and moss.
