An Old Children's Story

Long ago, there were humans who used rituals to make themselves stronger thus transforming them into the Yuan-Ti. Many of those who undertook these magics became corrupted, evil monsters who only looked to harm the world around them. One of these monsters stood out above the others for their cruelty and malice. He had no problems using men, women, or even children as materials for his dark arts. An immortal and evil wizard named Ornatus Crotalus!
It is said that when children are disobedient to their parents or don't go to sleep when they are told, it sends signals to Ornatus' scrying machine and he can see where the naughty ones are and get them in the night!!!
Now, Mommy and Daddy love you very much and don't want you to go missing so you need to go to sleep. We will protect you from the evil wizard and make sure you're safe!
