understand Gian G gradually approached
the swing and sat down gently stroking
dok head what is the matter Dudu why the
long face Master Dudu said suddenly with
tear filled eyes and a quivering voice
will there come a day when you no longer
want me Gian G met dudk glistening gaze
take back by the unexpected question why
do you ask that all of a sudden in my
clan I was the most talented but since
my younger brother arrived my mother no
longer pays attention to me I'm afraid
dudo S Voice grew increasingly sorrowful
D do our meeting signifies our bond
since we ve known each other you've
aided me greatly and I have come to
regard you as family how could I ever
abandon you giangi smiled as she
embraced Dudu softly assuring I will not
Overlook you simply because I have
others Spirit pets moreover From This
Moment forth you shall be their leader
they will all call you Big Brother D fur
soaked with tears lifted its head to
look at Gian asking really Master when
have I ever lied to you Gian thought to
herself perhaps coaxing doesn't te count
as lying after chatting a while longer
Dudu finally regained its composure
transforming back into its proud little
self I shall return and show them who es
boss Dudu exclaimed bouncing toward the
villa and Gian G followed with a smile
upon reaching the Villa they found
everyone gathered chatting amiably while
the red flame snake and bamboo Spirit
snake had already begun to mingle what
are your names and where do you come
from we do not yet have names our kin
reside on giant tree island and due to
certain circumstances we have become
bound to Gian G shiai inquired why do
you address her as Gian G and not his
master the bamboo Spirit snake and red
flame snake exchang glances although
their two clans were not on friendly
terms their Customs seemed quite similar
because we have not signed a contract
with her we are merely bound Gian
approached the crowd with Dudu and
happened to overhear their conversation
she settled beside the two little snakes
yet she had not yet given them names
referring to them simply as the Xing
snake and the Chien snake as she
observed the little serpents she
pondered what names would suit them best
pointing at the Xing snake she declared
you shall be called xao then gesturing
to Wards the chi Yin snake she added and
you shall be known as Shia Hong how does
that sound no objections I trust Gian G
seemed quite pleased with her naming
choices. this rate I will eventually
have names for every color shiai
remarked Gian shot a glance at shalby
quipping then perhaps you should
consider changing your name to godan it
would be much easier to care for shiai
turned away figting interest in the
scenery as if not hearing a word the
Xing snake and the chi Yin snake both
expressed their agreement
Duda hopped in front of them and
proclaimed I am Dudu and from this day
forth I shall be your elder brother the
Chien snake readily responded all right
Big Brother the Xing snake remained
silent lazily lounging around Gian cast
her an knowing look and mouth I'll treat
you to a drink later the Xing snake
remained unmoved in a cup of spirit
spring water giangi added finally
prompting a reluctant response from the
Xing snake fine I understand Dudu leapt
for Joy exclaiming yay I am the elder
brother now after a night of commotion
everyone was wearied Gian returned to
her room to prepare for sleep followed
closely by the juuling snake and the chi
Yin snake while lying in bed Gian
inquired when will you both need to
revert to snake bracelets only when we
have expended too much spiritual energy
do we need to return to bracelet form at
other times it depends on my mood they
replied then henceforth aside from when
I command to transform into bracelets or
when you require rest you shall remain
in your snake forms Giani declared
