Yamin looked out over the sea of people in the markets from her vantage point on her father’s shoulders. Her arms hugged his head loosely to keep herself from falling backwards. She frowned at one of the stalls down the end, where people were crowding around in greater numbers than anywhere else. She tapped her father on the head and pointed at the crowd.
“What could be going on down there?” Mehni mused, “Think we should take a look, ‘min?”
The young girl on his shoulders nodded eagerly, and she could see Nimay, perched on her mother’s shoulders beside her, craning her neck forwards as though she might be able to see through the crowd.
As they neared, Yamin caught snatches of conversation from around her, most of which surrounded the notion of “two heads.”
She glanced briefly at her sister, and they both began to slide down off their parent’s shoulders before diving into the crowd, squirming through the masses of bodies before finally emerging at the front, where they were greeted with a chain to keep back the crowd.
Behind the chain, a man was standing proudly beside a glass tank, part-filled with sand.
Yamin peered forwards to look inside the tank, wondering what could possibly be inside. She was too short to look down into it, but she was able to make out the dry, dusty scales of a corn snake, its body up against the glass. She loved snakes, and had long bothered her parents to buy her a corn snake of her own, but so far her efforts were fruitless.
Even so, the excitement and fuss over such an ordinary snake puzzled her. Corn snakes were one of the most common varieties in Raykin, and this one didn’t even have particularly striking patterns over its body, either.
She looked over at her twin again, puzzlement on her face. Nimay shrugged, not taking her eyes off the tank out of the expectation that maybe the snake would start performing tricks or something.
Suddenly she squealed and pointed at the glass tank, and Yamin snapped her head around to see what had gotten her sister so excited.
The snake had begun trying to climb up the glass, and Yamin was astonished to see not one, but two heads squirming against the tank, both attached to the same body.
She squealed in the same way as Nimay had done, jumping up and down on the spot, much to the annoyance of the people around her. She gripped the chain harder and bent forwards, wishing she could jump over it and get a better look at the snake as it twisted around inside the tank.
“I’ll give you ten gold!” someone shouted.
The snake’s owner shook his head and laughed. “Can’t let it go for less than thirty.”
“Twenty-five, then.”
“Thirty-five!” someone else yelled.
Yamin wasn’t interested in the price, knowing she could never afford it. She was happy enough to have caught a glimpse of this strange creature.
