Beyond the Black Mountains

Deep inside a forest on the outskirts of a metropolitan concrete jungle called Karachi, lurks a mysterious secret that Karachi citizens had doubted for centuries.



The myth goes that certain king serpents undergo a transformation after a century if they had not bitten any human beings. With this transformation, they produce a shiny jewel, believed to contain various magical properties. Thereafter they obtain shape-shifting abilities, transforming into humans as they do.



Of course, it’s just a myth. Or is it?
