There's nothing wrong with quiet

Looks like a racer. The snout is tapered. Rat snakes have a squared snout.

for i have seen legions of gods army fall, and heard the dying cries of ten thousand angels

nah, racers are colubrids...same family as milksnakes and kingsnakes. apart from usually having a bad temper, they're harmless Rating: 5/5
