If you don't mind me asking, Like What? You don't have to answer if you don't want to...

I winced at the words: "Eat those who displease." Nodding, I thought for a second about what to say. "Let's see... This isn't a fairytale, nor something of mystery." I muttered, an idea coming to mind. I glanced upwards, then closed my eyes to visualize. "This is the story... The story of two, mystical snakes. They were quite young at the age of meeting, in which they were too foolish to realize consequences. All giddy and hands-down happy, they became good friends. Too good of friends, mind you." I opened my eyes to look at the snakes expressions.

Oh goodness, I think I would like to a) Say something
(I have no idea what to say specifically, though)

Well, we can't breathe underwater anyway, only hold our breath.
As for the other part...forced by what? Magic?

I sat, hesitating as I pondered about the next part. What should I do...? I don't know if I am getting this right. But, I can't stop now or else I'm a gonner. I closed my eyes again, and continued, rather unsure of myself. "They decided to venture together, in which they came upon a Sorceress. She was more over rude and looked quite scraggly. She tested the snakes on how well they could do for... Something. In the end, they didn't make it- So, they decided flattery was the best option. Yet, the Sorceress disliked it, and so her words of wisdom were: 'Two is better than one, and it seems you both are better together.'"
