Innu

Innu, the other half of the fabled serpent Inniquum.

The sister of knowledge, created to uphold a safe haven for the creatures her sister sought out.


The two halves of iniquum.
It is told that Mwenye was not the first Serpent Sekhmet created.

Iniquum Is an immortal "deity", created by Sekhmet to guard the desert till Auternus returned. It was originally two giant serpents; Innu and Quum. Both cobras detested the other and would bite and thrash whenever close.

The higher gods looked down upon the thrashing snakes and bound them together with strings of gold and locking them inside a pit under the ground, assuming that would resolve their "issues".

Inniquum's anger did not cease and still they fought inside the pit, soaking the desert sand the scarlet shade of blood, their hisses dripping with raw hatred to the other.

Frustrated, Sekhmet struck them with a fork of lightning.
The fighting silenced for just a moment, the hardened sand sizzling.

Both serpents were horrified as their wounded scales joined together, locking them in the same body. Sekhmet's punishment had joined them for eternity.

Iniquun would not rest however. They would exchange blows for the rest of eternity, not caring that their pain was now shared between their one body, only focused on killing their twin for a reason neither knew.

It is said even now that the immortal cobras still fight under the sand, turning the desert red every blood moon.
