I will protect you!

Jeiokha from Sidewind protecting a bat child who has lost his way in the outer territories of Galgeshi, which is a forest in the far west, said to be haunted at night...not by the mere ghost, mind you, but something very corporeal and very dangerous—but has yet to be seen in the light.

The evil draws close, but here Jeiokha demonstrates his power to ward off the malice, or at least challenge it, as a vessel of Vawkuu’s light. He, too, is afraid, but the snake knows he has a duty.
