00:17I
00:19Woke up with a spear pointed at my throat and six pairs of golden eyes with
00:23Vertical pupils fixed on me as if I were the last meal of the day
00:29They weren't human and that became clear in the first second because their faces had that reptilian shape
00:35That makes you think of dinosaurs with elongated snouts and crests of dorsal spines where there should be hair
00:47Their scales reflected the dawn light in olive green tones that blended with beige on the abdomen and neck and
00:53And each one easily measured six feet of pure muscle covered in brown leather armor with shoulder pads that had
01:00spikes the size of my forearm
01:06The one pointing the spear at me hissed something in a language that sounded like snakes sliding over stone and
01:12The others laughed with that guttural sound that raises every hair on your body
01:17The sensible thing would have been to stay still but sensibility and I divorced years ago
01:22So I tried to roll toward my axe that was two meters away
01:31I didn't make it even the first meter because one of them stepped on my chest with her three-clawed
01:36foot
01:36And pinned me against the jungle floor while the air escaped from my lungs in a pathetic gasp
01:43Her golden eyes studied me with curiosity
01:45She tilted her head like a predator does when it finds something interesting
01:50But doesn't know whether to eat it or play with it first and then she spoke in broken Spanish that
01:56sounded like the words hurt her throat
02:06Human hunter you I nodded because I had no air to speak and
02:12She pressed harder on my chest while her claws tore my tanned skin enough for me to feel the burn
02:18But not enough to cause serious injury
02:21They ripped the leather bracelets from my wrists
02:24inspected my tribal necklaces as if they were evidence of something and when one of
02:29Them found my hunting knife she lifted it like a trophy while the others hissed in approval
02:40Take Queen Saira she decide
02:44They tied my wrists with something that looked like rope but felt like steel cable and when they stood me
02:49up
02:49I discovered they weren't just taller than me but also
02:53considerably stronger because the one who grabbed my arm
02:57Lifted me as if I weighed the same as a small child
03:04The amazon jungle is brutal at seven in the morning with that humidity that turns every breath into forced labor
03:11But as they dragged me between trees so ancient they probably saw civilization being born
03:17My brain was working at a thousand miles per hour processing what I had just confirmed
03:25The tribe existed it wasn't a myth like they said in the villages
03:30And I had just become their prisoner three days before fulfilling my contract to exterminate them
03:35The irony would have made me laugh if I wasn't sure that would only speed up my death
03:48The temple appeared through the vegetation like something out of an archaeological nightmare
03:53All gray stone covered in moss and vines that climbed columns carved with intertwined serpents
03:59And symbols that definitely weren't in any history book I had seen
04:09They pushed me upstairs while I stumbled because my legs were still numb from sleeping on the wet jungle floor
04:17And with each step I could feel more eyes watching me from the shadows
04:21Dozens of those reptilian creatures emerging from doors and windows to see
04:25The captured human as if it were the show of the century
04:35Some were warriors with armor identical to my captors
04:39Others wore simpler tunics and carried baskets with fruits and meat that smelled like something dead for too long
04:47But all had that same predator look that makes you feel like you're being evaluated as a protein source
04:59The throne room was exactly what you'd expect from a reptilian civilization hidden in the amazon
05:05Enormous with torches that cast dancing shadows on murals showing battles between reptilians and humans where clearly the reptilians always
05:15won
05:16And in the center on a throne carved from a single piece of black obsidian was her
05:27Queen cyra easily measured six and a half feet tall and her skin was a green so dark it almost
05:33looked black in the dim light
05:35With scales that shone as if they had been polished
05:38The first thing that hit you were her eyes a liquid amber that pierced through you as if she could
05:45read every lie
05:46You had told in your life and the second was her crown a complete skull with ram horns that curved
05:55upward flanked by spines that seemed to grow
05:57directly from her head
06:02She wore black ceremonial armor with metal plates engraved with tribal symbols and over her shoulders
06:08She carried a cape made entirely of black feathers from something that definitely wasn't a modern bird
06:15From her neck hung gold necklaces with circular medallions and from her ears hung
06:20Golden earrings that tinkled every time she moved her head
06:29They forced me to kneel and my face was inches from the cold stone floor that smelled of old blood
06:35and burned incense
06:37And then I heard her voice deep and resonant like the rumble of distant thunder
06:43A human hunter in our territory
06:46She spoke perfect spanish without accent
06:51Do you know how many years it's been since we captured one alive
06:56I raised my gaze enough to meet her amber eyes and responded with the only truth that made sense to
07:02say at that moment
07:03Considering i'm still breathing
07:05I assume not many
07:08The warriors flanking me hissed in what I assumed was indignation at my insolence
07:15But syra raised a hand with black claws the length of my index finger and silence fell over the hall
07:20like a heavy blanket
07:22insolent
07:23A smile crossed her reptilian snout showing teeth that could definitely tear chunks of flesh
07:29Without much effort
07:31I like it
07:33It's been decades since anyone spoke to me without trembling
07:36She rose from the throne and descended the steps with a grace that shouldn't be possible for something her size
07:43And when she was in front of me she crouched until our faces were at the same height
07:48And I could smell her breath which was surprisingly fresh
07:52Like medicinal herbs mixed with something mineral
08:01Tell me hunter who sent you to our jungle the ranchers who cut down our trees the miners who poison
08:08our rivers
08:09Or perhaps some government that finally found evidence we exist
08:13And there was the problem because telling the truth
08:16Meant admitting that a mining corporation had paid me fifty thousand dollars to exterminate the entire tribe and clear the
08:24area for a new lithium extraction operation
08:27But lying to someone who could clearly smell fear probably meant a faster death
08:43So I did the only thing that made sense
08:45I mixed truth with omission
08:48No one sent me
08:50I'm an independent hunter. I've been tracking the amazon for six months documenting endangered species
08:55It wasn't completely a lie. I had documented three new species of frogs before accepting the contract
09:02I made camp in the wrong place and woke up surrounded
09:09Zyra studied me for what felt like an eternity
09:12And then she did something I didn't expect
09:14She touched my face with one of her claws
09:17Tracing the line of my jaw with a delicacy that brutally contrasted with her obvious ability to tear my face
09:24off with one swipe
09:28Interesting
09:30Your eyes tell truth but your heart beats as if you're hiding something
09:35She straightened and returned to her throne leaving me kneeling and confused
09:40Zyra examine him
09:42I want to know exactly what kind of human has entered our domain
09:46From the shadows emerged something that made me rethink everything I thought I knew about this tribe
09:58The old woman who emerged from behind a column
10:01Seemed to have been carved from stone worn by time
10:04With scales that had lost their green shine to become a wrinkled beige gray that reminded me of the bark
10:10of ancient trees
10:12Her hair was white as morning mist and fell to her waist in strands that moved even though there was
10:17no breeze
10:18And in her right hand she held a black wooden staff where a live snake with golden scales coiled
10:26Watching me with the same interest as its bearer
10:39Jara wore ceremonial robes made of tanned leather decorated with feathers and bones that tinkled as she walked and around
10:46her neck
10:46She wore necklaces of turquoise beads and a medallion with a small bird skull
10:52Her eyes though ancient shone with an intelligence that made me feel naked under her scrutiny
11:04She approached limping slightly but without losing dignity
11:08And when she was in front of me she crouched with a creak of joints that sounded painful
11:14But which she completely ignored
11:16Let me see let me see
11:18She murmured in that broken spanish while her clawed hands began to examine my face
11:24My neck my shoulders
11:26The snake on her staff hissed and stuck out its forked tongue
11:30To taste the air around me as if it could taste my intentions
11:39Her fingers found the scars on my chest and back
11:42Result of years hunting in places where the jungle returns every mistake with interest and
11:46For a second
11:48I saw something change in her expression
11:51A flash of recognition I didn't like at all
11:54This is not naturalist
11:55Her voice sounded like gravel being dragged by water
12:00This is killer
12:01Smells of recent death many deaths jaguar anaconda crocodile
12:07She pressed her claw over my heart humans too
12:17My stomach contracted because she was right about everything
12:21Except the last part
12:22I didn't kill humans
12:24But I had had to defend myself from poachers who didn't appreciate me documenting their illegal operations
12:31And apparently that left a smell these beings could detect
12:36I'm not lying when I say I document species
12:39My voice came out firmer than I expected
12:42But I'm also not going to pretend I'm a hippie with a camera
12:46The jungle is brutal and I survive by being more brutal than it
12:52Jara stepped back and looked at Saira with a grave expression
12:56And the two exchanged what seemed like a complete conversation just with their gaze
13:00That kind of communication that only comes from decades of knowing each other
13:06He is dangerous
13:08Jara finally spoke for everyone's benefit
13:11But he is not hunter of us yet
13:15His spirit does not know our existence before today
13:18Yet?
13:19Saira smiled showing all those sharp teeth
13:22Fascinating word, Jara
13:25Are you suggesting he could become a threat?
13:29I suggest he already is
13:30But doesn't know it
13:32The old woman turned toward me with eyes that seemed to see directly through my skull
13:37This one has destiny intertwined with tribe
13:41Vision shows me two paths
13:43In one, he destroys everything
13:46In other, he saves everything
13:49Both equally probable
13:51Great
13:52Turns out in addition to reptilian warriors, they had mystical shamans with visions of the future
13:57And apparently I was the star of both apocalyptic scenarios
14:02My life kept getting better by the moment
14:09Saira leaned back on her throne
14:11And her claws drummed on the obsidian armrest in a rhythm that sounded like impatience
14:15mixed with curiosity
14:18I cannot kill you if there's a possibility you'll save us
14:21But I also cannot free you
14:23If there's a possibility you'll destroy us
14:26Her amber eyes pierced through me
14:31So we'll do something we haven't done in three generations
14:33We'll give you the trials
14:36Trials?
14:37I asked, though I already knew I wasn't going to like the answer
14:46Three challenges that will determine if you are worthy of knowing our secrets
14:51Or if you are simply another human who must be eliminated
14:54Saira snapped her claws and two warriors approached carrying what appeared to be my own equipment
15:00My axe, my hunting knife, my bracers
15:04If you survive the three trials, you will earn your freedom and never have to think about us again
15:13If you fail
15:14She didn't finish the sentence, but didn't need to
15:17Because the skulls decorating the temple columns made it quite clear what happened to those who failed Queen Saira's trials
15:24When do these trials start?
15:26I asked as they returned my equipment and cut the ropes from my wrists
15:32Saira's smile widened
15:34Until it became something genuinely terrifying
15:37They already started
15:40The floor beneath my feet opened as if it had never been solid in the first place
15:44And I fell into complete darkness while the roar of something large and hungry echoed from the depths
16:02I fell three meters before hitting cold water that swallowed me like a hungry mouth
16:07And the first thing I did was kick upward while my lungs screamed for air and my axe became a
16:13dead weight dragging me down
16:15I emerged gasping in the almost total darkness only broken by the distant light
16:22From the hole I had fallen through
16:24And that's when I heard the splash that unmistakable sound of something massive moving in water
16:34My eyes adapted enough to distinguish
16:37I was in an underground cavern where the water formed a lake of maybe 20 meters in diameter
16:43Surrounded by rock walls that dripped moisture and glowed with something that could be bioluminescent moss
16:50Or my desperate imagination searching for light where there was none
16:55The splash sounded again closer
16:59And then I saw the flash of scales under the water
17:02Something dark green and massive that moved with the lethal grace of a predator born for this environment
17:12It wasn't a humanoid reptilian like the warriors above
17:16It was pure reptile a snake
17:20The thickness of a barrel that glided through the water leaving ripples that hit me like miniature waves
17:26Damn
17:27The word escaped my lips as I swam toward the nearest rock
17:31Because staying in the water with that thing was textbook suicide
17:34My arms burned with the effort of dragging myself out of the lake while my animal skin loincloth stuck to
17:39my skin making every movement harder
17:49I managed to climb onto a rock ledge just as the serpent emerged where I had been seconds before
17:55And I could see it completely
17:57Three meters long with a head the size of my torso
18:00Fangs dripping something viscous that definitely wasn't normal saliva
18:05And eyes that glowed with intelligence that shouldn't exist in a reptile
18:11We looked at each other for three seconds that felt like hours
18:15And then she spoke and I almost fell back into the water from pure shock
18:20Human hunter
18:22Her voice was feminine hissing but clear
18:25First trial is simple
18:26Survive until water rises and reaches exit
18:29Or kill guardian
18:31She opened her mouth showing those fangs
18:33I am guardian
18:41Of course the giant snake talked
18:44Of course because my day couldn't get more surreal
18:48I looked up and indeed
18:50The hole I had fallen through was about five meters from the current water level
18:55And I heard the sound of liquid running
18:57The walls had cracks where new water was beginning to flow
19:00Slowly filling the cavern
19:03How long until the water reaches the top?
19:05I asked while unsheathing my axe
19:07The familiar weight calming my racing pulse slightly
19:17Depends on how long you survive fighting
19:19The serpent slid closer her scales scraping the rock with a sound that raised every hair on my body
19:26Most die in first minute
19:28You seem more resistant
19:30It wasn't a compliment it was an assessment
19:33And that told me everything I needed to know
19:36This thing had killed before many times
19:40And I was simply the next item on her menu
19:43The water had already risen five centimeters while we talked
19:46And my brain began calculating options with the speed that comes from years of not having a plan b
20:00I could try to climb the walls toward the exit
20:03But that would leave me exposed and vulnerable
20:06I could stay on this ledge and wait for the water to carry me upward
20:10But that meant being at the serpent's mercy the whole time
20:14Or I could do the stupid thing which was
20:18Try to kill her
20:19And risk her venom
20:22Liquefying me from the inside
20:25No option was good
20:26But at least one left me in control
20:30Do you have a name guardian?
20:32I asked while shifting my position to have better balance on the slippery rock
20:36She tilted her head in an almost human gesture of surprise
20:41You are first human who asks
20:43They call me Sithis
20:45A hiss that could have been laughter
20:47Do you have name?
20:49Or should I call you food?
20:52Ronar
20:53I adjusted my grip on my axe handle
20:55The leather of my bracelets absorbing the sweat from my palms
20:59And I'm sorry to tell you this Sithis
21:00But I don't plan to be your food
21:02Everyone says that
21:04She lunged
21:06I threw myself to the side
21:07And her fangs crashed against the rock
21:10Where I had been with enough force to tear off pieces of stone
21:14And I took advantage of the momentum
21:15To swing my axe toward her exposed neck
21:19But she was fast
21:20Damn she was fast
21:21She twisted like liquid smoke
21:24And my blade only grazed her scales producing sparks
21:28Good try
21:30She coiled preparing for another attack
21:32But you'll need to be better
21:34The water had risen 10 more centimeters and I was already breathless
21:38Which was a problem
21:39Considering this had just started
21:42Sithis attacked again
21:44But this time fainted to my left and turned to the right
21:48And her fangs found my shoulder in explosive pain that made me scream
21:51While something hot spread from the wound
21:54It wasn't deadly venom
21:56I knew
21:57Because I was still conscious
21:58But it hurt
22:00As if they had poured acid into my circulatory system
22:05And my fingers began to go numb
22:07The axe almost falling from my weakened grip
22:12Paralyzing venom
22:13Sithis retreated licking the air with her tongue
22:15In 10 minutes you won't be able to move arms
22:18In 20 you'll drown when water reaches your mouth
22:23I looked at the water that was now 15 centimeters from my ledge
22:32And then looked at the exit that remained unreachable
22:35Five meters above the rising level
22:38I had to end this quickly or I'd end up exactly where Sithis predicted
22:43Drowned and immobile while she watched me die
22:46I switched my axe to my left hand because my right was already trembling uncontrollably
22:52And then I did something I had never done before
22:55I bet everything on a single move
22:58Hey Sithis
22:58Have you ever heard of the desperate hunter's trick?
23:02What trick? she asked with genuine curiosity
23:06This one
23:07I launched myself into the water directly toward her
23:16The shock in her eyes was satisfying for exactly half a second before she launched to meet me
23:22Because it turns out giant talking snakes hate when you invade their personal space
23:28We collided underwater in a tangle of limbs and scales
23:31And the pain in my shoulder exploded when her body coiled around my torso beginning to squeeze with hydraulic press
23:38force
23:43My ribs creaked while my vision filled with black spots
23:47But my left hand sank the axe right behind her head where the scales separated
23:52Her grip loosened instantly and I emerged coughing water
23:57And when Sithis appeared a meter behind bleeding that golden liquid
24:00I expected fury but got laughter
24:04You passed hunter Ronar
24:07First trial is survive not necessarily kill
24:10She sank into the shadows
24:12What comes next is harder much harder
24:21The water kept rising and I dragged myself toward the tunnel that appeared in the opposite wall
24:27A passage lit by bioluminescent moss
24:30Where my shoulder throbbed with the spreading venom
24:32The tunnel opened into another cavern
24:36With a circle of sand surrounded by stands
24:38Where twenty reptilian warriors watched in silence
24:43And then Veskra jumped down with an impact that raised dust
24:51Her intense green scales were marked with whitish scars
24:54Her armor heavier than the others had a bull skull on the breastplate
24:57And her two curved swords with black edges screamed
25:01Professional of violence
25:03In a way that froze my blood
25:05Second trial
25:07Human
25:08Combat until one surrenders
25:10Her hoarse voice left no doubts
25:12I've been captain for fourteen years
25:14I've never lost in this circle
25:21I looked at my poisoned arm
25:23My axe that weighed like lead
25:25And at Veskra
25:26In her prime while I was destroyed
25:29Can I surrender now?
25:31You can
25:32But Saira is not as merciful as I am
25:34Her predatory smile said it all
25:37I adjusted my grip with my left hand because
25:39The right was decoration
25:41And adopted defensive stance
25:44Let it be noted
25:45This is unfair
25:47Life is not fair, Hunter
25:50She lunged
25:56The next few minutes were a master class in humiliation
26:00She knocked me down five times
26:02While the venom ruined my coordination
26:05And my strength disappeared
26:07Until I was left on the ground breathless
26:10Do you surrender?
26:11And there was the easy way out
26:13But I remembered the fifty thousand dollars
26:16For my brother in the hospital
26:18I remembered my family was counting on me
26:20Number
26:21Not yet
26:23Something changed in her eyes
26:25Genuine respect
26:28When she lunged again
26:29I did something stupid
26:30I dropped my axe
26:31The shock on her face was very brief
26:33And I took advantage to get inside her guard
26:35Grab her wrist and pull
26:36While putting my foot behind hers
26:39It didn't work perfectly
26:41But I unbalanced her
26:42And my elbow found her jaw
26:44Dirty, fighting
26:46She spat something golden
26:48They don't teach that in training
26:50The jungle raised me
26:51Survive any way
26:52That I respect
26:58What followed was different
27:00Because now she was really fighting
27:02Faster and more precise
27:04Cutting my arm, leg, chest
27:07But I kept moving until I saw an opening
27:09When she stumbled on loose sand
27:11I crouched
27:11Spun the axe
27:13And connected the handle against her head
27:16With all my strength
27:21Veskra staggered
27:22I swept her legs
27:23And she fell
27:24The captain who had never lost
27:26Fell on her back
27:27With my axe at her throat
27:29Do you surrender?
27:34We looked at each other for three eternal seconds
27:36Both exhausted and bleeding
27:38And then she laughed
27:39Deep and genuine laughter
27:42I surrender
27:43I surrender
27:43First time in 14 years
27:45The warriors hissed in reptilian applause
27:48Welcome to very short list of humans who deserve respect
27:52Saira appeared from the stands
28:00You passed
28:01Jara will heal your wounds before third trial
28:04Until tomorrow at dawn
28:06Third trial is not of strength nor skill
28:09It is of wisdom and truth
28:11Her amber eyes pierced through me
28:14And it will be the hardest for you
28:16She was right
28:18Lying came easier to me than breathing
28:31Don't fear
28:31I can be the most
