Characters
Main Character
Let's meet the main character of the story—the Wise Snake.
He has existed since time immemorial in legends, fables, and sacred texts. The snake has witnessed many intentions that seemed good, but sometimes things went wrong. The hero of the short story is often surprised or even frightened by human intentions and tries to rectify everything.
By order of the Creator Major, the Wise Snake manipulates apples and seduces humans, and sometimes he has to suffer due to the good intentions of his ward.
Episodic Character
Meet the Hand of Creator Major.
This Hand may only make a few appearances in the novel, but it’s on a mission as crucial as a last-minute pizza delivery. It beckons like a magician, surprises like an unexpected plot twist, and suggests solutions right when things get sticky. It’s always ready to lend a hand (pun absolutely intended) to help the Wise Snake persevere in difficult circumstances.
