The basilisk myth is from ancient medieval europe. They believed it was born from an egg which was nurtured by serpent or toad and then started to take on features of a Cockerel. According to them the Basilisk was a deadly creature and could kill with just one glance. It was also a serpent king, probably only around 12 fingers in length but could breathe fire. Everywhere it goes it leaves the trailer of venom. The basilisk's only weakness was Phoenix Tears. This is how the Basilisk is described in my story. Many years ago two little girls disappeared in the forest. One of them was the daughter of a knifesmith named Machaeropaeus. After their mysterious disappearance the knife smith's wife and Maid went on a search for them. Coming up on a cave from an underground cellar of a house, falling in, the maid went in meanwhile the wife stayed above not wanting to dirty her shoes. Upon entering however the maid could see the children lying motionless on the floor and decided to try calling their names. after a couple minutes went by she called many times with no reply as did the wife. Left with no other option, the maid built up her courage to near the children alone, while the wife watched outside. The maid too, sunk to the floor next to the children completely limp, while the wife nervously watched. Instead of running in to check on the main the wife decided the better choice would be to run out of the woods and spread word on the mysterious events. with rumors spreading everywhere throughout the city of Warsaw everyone took a sinking feeling there could be a basilisk hiding in the cellar. The Senate, a former Chief to the king, named Benedictus was known to possess knowledge of the Basilisk and ordered the bodies be taken from the seller with long poles so that he may examine them. They were a horrid, gory, sight ,after close consideration Benedictus pronounced them poisoned by a basilisk’s glare.
