"When we cross this mountain and arrive at the other peak, we will see a crimson temple with a water tank-sized red snake inside. The old serpent will be coiled there, waiting to devour any mischievous child who dares to run around... In the remote depths of the mountains, where few people tread, someone murmurs this story softly. As they finish the tale, a smile creeps onto their face. 'Won't that youngster be afraid of me coming to find him?'

Its eyes are like golden flames, its body like crimson steel. It accompanies the gusts of wind and rain, illuminating the world's darkness and light. Its name is the Southern Candle.'"
