Thank you for your comment very much and for fav as well. In fact this work was inspired by song «Bride of coluber» performed by russian neo-folk band Melnitsa. So this character is some kind of snake king... Maybe because in russian folklore word naga is not very popular)

I'd love to read a translation.  It sounds like an interesting tale.

Here you go)

Oh, that's not just a dust creeping along the forest road
Oh, don't go there, don't be looking for trouble, girl
Don't play with magic
Turn your eyes away from it
Can't you see that snakes getting married there

Hold me close to you
Put me to our bed with silk sheets
Show me your love, give me a kiss
Just don't let me go to the well alone

But you couldn't see a danger, facing this challenge without fear
'From now on you're the one of us, it's only your fault, my dear!
Can you see the thick fog covering the glade
The serpent king is expecting you there
You're engaged to be married to him'

I'll hardly ever find a magic potion
And i can't look at you through my golden eyes
My body is covered with snake scales now
So I have to leave my home
And follow them [snakes]

Under the bed curtain I can hear the serpent's hiss
I can see his hungry golden eyes looking for this
He is calling me
'My dear, come down to me
Let me hug you, let me take you in my 33 coils!’

And the main thing... Link to original song www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQkwaM… .

Ah, yes.  It reads very much like those Irish legends, or those German legends about how virgin girls should save themselves for marriage.

Well, I think a lot of legend in the world have the same source.

Thank you very much for the fav and for your comment! I am glad that you liked my work. Because at the end I thought that I became some kind of crazy colorist)
