Sibyl they called me in later times, and the Pythoness, but before that I had no name. I was a Singer, and that was enough. I was called at an early age; I was but a girl, not yet in my bloods. Careless I roamed the forests of my home, singing the songs of the river, and the deer, the blue crab, and the wild honeybee.
When the Elders came to me, they asked if I desired to follow the serpent, and become a Singer. Young as I was, I knew I followed a dappled path, walking in the play of both light and shadow. And so I was willing and they took me into the caverns, into the darkness silent and rich with memory and becoming. Here I learned to listen.
And in time, they gave me to the Serpent, and I lived, although many do not. All my long life I have served Her, and Her serpent has shaped me. We are, at last, one. My hair is white now, and the Serpent still flows between my fingers, still twines in my hair, still rises in beauty up my spine, still sees the shining world with my eyes, still sings loudest in my blood. For this I am glad, and fulfilled. They gave me to the Serpent, and I lived.
