In the age before light, when shadows ruled the earth,
a serpent moved through the bones of the fallen.
At the edge of eternity, the serpent made its vow:
to shed its skin and be reborn.

It found a skull—hollow yet everlasting—
and coiled itself around it:
life embracing death, wisdom claiming silence.

From that union, the serpent and the skull became one—
a symbol of endless transformation.

The Serpent’s Oath was born of this legend—
a reminder that even in darkness,
the power to rise again never fades.
