Hi community, for the ongoing round I wanted to do a collage around eve's contributed images. And this is my result.
It might look cute at first, but don't let it fool you, it's the most dangerous creature on Earth.
I found this round's template particularly spectacular.

The story around it, I entitled it Atop:
She sat atop the ruined wall, a silent sentinel in the darkness. The once mighty castle is now a blazing inferno, casting a flickering light upon the desolate ruins. But the light does little to dispel the shadows that gather around, for she is a being of the darkness.
Her clothes, torn and stained with the blood of countless victims, flutter in the wind, serving as a testament to the atrocities she has committed.
But it's her eyes that truly send a chill down the spine - they gleam with an otherworldly feral hunger, of pure evil. The darkness whispers around her, the voice of the shadows speaking in hushed tones of death and destruction. They warn of a power beyond anything the world has ever known, a power that she possesses.
She remains still, her heads turning slowly, surveying the ruined land. But it's not the destruction that holds her attention, for she is the cause of it all. Her eyes narrow, taking in the fear she has brought to the world, the fear she relishes in.
She reaches and strokes the snake's head, her fingers tracing its scales with a familiar, almost loving touch. The snake hisses softly, as if in response to her touch.
And then, in an instant, she is gone, vanished into the darkness from whence she came. But her presence lingers, a haunting reminder of the evil that now walks the land. The once great castle continues to burn, a beacon of the darkness that has taken hold, a symbol of the fear that she has instilled in the hearts of all who dare to oppose her.
