The Last Breath
Serqet's Poison, also known as "The Last Breath," "Cobra's Kiss," the "Venom of Eternal Torment", "Scorpion's Sting", "Final Kiss" and the "Godbane Toxin," is the deadliest toxin in existence, from the very essence of the Serqet- Goddess of Venom. This lethal poison is infamous for its unparalleled potency, capable of killing mortals instantly upon contact. Once a mortal is afflicted, they will draw their last breath within a second, succumbing to death in an instant.
For gods, Serqet's Poison is equally fatal, but its effects are more insidious. In small doses, a god can survive for months, with the most powerful deities lingering on for years or even centuries. However, the poison will weaken them severely, reducing them to mere shadows of their former selves. The decline is agonizingly slow and excruciating, with the afflicted god experiencing the torment of what feels like a thousand years of torture.
Though a god may endure for a time with a small dose, multiple exposures to the poison can accelerate the process, leading to death in a single breath, just as it does for mortals. The poison's potency is absolute, and there is no known cure—save for one. Even Serqet, immune to her own venom, cannot reverse its effects. However, the blood of Minerva- Virgin Goddess, holds the only known antidote to this deadly toxin. Minerva's blood can cleanse the poison entirely, but with Minerva's passing, her blood has become incredibly rare, making the cure as elusive as the poison is feared.
Serqet's Poison, a weapon of unparalleled lethality, can only be obtained directly from the Goddess of Venom herself. However, Serqet, once an active and fearsome deity, has remained silent and withdrawn for thousands of years. During the Great God War, Serqet was a relentless combatant, using her deadly venom to kill gods by the droves. In the aftermath of these battles, remnants of her poison were sometimes found on the fields, stored carefully in vials by those who sought to harness its devastating power for later use. Remarkably, Serqet's Poison does not degrade or lose potency over time, meaning that these ancient vials, if intact, still hold the same deadly power as when they were first collected.
Given Serqet's current inactivity, the only way to acquire her poison today is through one of these ancient vials, relics from a time when the gods waged open war. These vials are incredibly rare, and their contents are highly sought after by those who understand the true power they contain. The method to obtain her poison into one of these vials has been lost to time.
The deadliness of Serqet's Poison is compounded by its ability to spread. Upon the death of a creature afflicted with her poison, the venom transforms into an odorless gas that quickly dissipates from the corpse. This gas lingers in the air for only a few seconds, but during that time, it is a potent threat to anyone nearby. Inhaling the gas or coming into contact with it through skin or flesh will result in immediate affliction with the same poison, continuing the cycle of death.
This contagious nature of Serqet's Poison means that when one is afflicted, those around them must scatter or risk sharing their fate. The only known method to halt the spread of the poison is through the death of the afflicted and ensuring that no others are exposed to the dissipating gas. Once the gas has dissipated and the poison has run its course, it leaves no trace, making it an insidious and nearly unstoppable force of nature.
In a world where many possess immunity to various poisons through magical items, spells, or inherent resistances, Serqet's Poison stands as a terrifying exception. This lethal toxin, derived of the Goddess of Venom herself, bypasses all conventional immunities. No creature, no matter how powerful, can claim true invulnerability to its effects.
Serqet's Poison defies the natural laws of protection and resistance, making it a unique and fearsome weapon. Even those who have acquired legendary artifacts or have undergone transformative rituals to gain immunity to all poisons will find themselves vulnerable to Serqet's venomous touch. The poison's lethal nature is such that it ignores these protections entirely, infiltrating the body, soul, and mind with its destructive force.
While Minerva's Blood is the sole cure for Serqet's Poison, it cannot provide permanent immunity. Even after being cured, one remains susceptible to future exposure. The blood of Minerva may cleanse the body of the poison, but it cannot shield the soul from being touched by it again.

The Only True Immunity: Serqet's Blessing
The only known way to gain true immunity to Serqet's Poison is to receive the blessing of Serqet herself. This divine favor is exceedingly rare, granted only to those who have somehow earned the goddess's favor or struck a pact with her. Those blessed by Serqet are granted immunity not only to her poison but to all venom and toxins, a gift that sets them apart from all other beings.While Minerva's Blood is the sole cure for Serqet's Poison, it cannot provide permanent immunity. Even after being cured, one remains susceptible to future exposure. The blood of Minerva may cleanse the body of the poison, but it cannot shield the soul from being touched by it again.
Prognosis
Serqet's Poison: A Lethal Curse
The few who have survived Serqet's Poison describe it as an all-encompassing torment, a force that tears apart the very fabric of their being. Once afflicted, the poison does not merely target the body; it attacks the soul and mind with relentless fury. Every second, every day, and every hour that remains in your life is marked by the constant agony of deterioration. The poison's grip is inescapable, a cruel reminder that lingers, ensuring that you never forget the curse that has been placed upon you.
The damage wrought by Serqet's Poison is profound and multifaceted. The pain is said to be indescribable, as if every cell in your body is being slowly incinerated, while your mind is plagued by visions of your own decay. The soul, too, is not spared, as it feels the weight of inevitable death creeping ever closer, sapping away hope and willpower.
The Death of Mortals: For mortals, the poison is swift and merciless. Upon inhaling or being touched by it, they take a single, shuddering breath before collapsing to the ground. Blood begins to ooze from every pore, every orifice, soaking the earth in a macabre display of death. The poison spreads rapidly within that same breath, turning the victim into a harbinger of further death, as the blood itself becomes a vessel for the poison's deadly contagion.
To witness a mortal's death from Serqet's Poison is to see life snuffed out in an instant, the body left as a hollow shell drenched in its own blood. The poison acts so quickly that the victim has no time to scream, no time to comprehend the horror of their fate.
The Death of Gods: For gods, the poison's effects are slower but no less devastating. Initially, their bodies appear untouched, maintaining the divine strength and vitality that defines them. But as the poison works its way through their veins, the illusion of health begins to crumble. Over time, their once-immortal bodies start to show signs of decay—skin begins to crack, flesh starts to wither, and the vibrant glow of their divinity dims.
The poison drags on, each moment a fresh torment as their godly essence is slowly unraveled. Eventually, they too will fall, just as mortals do, collapsing into a pool of their own blood. Their death, however, is drawn out over years, even centuries, with the poison's cruel touch ensuring that they suffer every agonizing moment.
Serqet's Poison is more than just a lethal substance; it is a curse that strips away the essence of life, leaving nothing but pain and despair in its wake. Those who succumb to it are forever marked, their deaths serving as a grim reminder of the goddess's power and the terror that she once unleashed upon the world.
