There's a snake lies.
In the void must be filled.
Hidden from the all conflict.
Ever wonder what could have been.
What/who am I describing?
Hint 1:
Although it's not the conflict the snake avoiding, there's 2 side questioning each other about their ways.
Hint 2:
One side hold a certain cud-chewing mammal in high regard.
Hint 3:
You really should figure it out already, but in any case you don't, the answer is close by.
