Just one glance was enough to make one feel as if one's mind were being drawn in, unable to look away.
At the very center of the hall stood a massive statue over ten meters tall. It looked neither fully like a snake nor fully like a dragon, but rather something in between, a strange and ancient creature whose form defied easy description.
