Related to my python character,
Ayya, and his origin.
---------------------------------
A gentle hiss continues, the serpent's eyes meet yours. He flicks his tongue gently.
And you start to hear his story.
Aaaaasssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...
"I remember the first day I opened by eyes...and there was his face. A great man. A great ruler. He picked me up for the first time, stroking my back so gently that my hisses were soft and peaceful.
His name was King Natakamani. The Queen, Amanitore, gave him a baby python one day, one of his first treasures. And he named his treasure Ayya.
I remember the throne so very well. Scarabs made of beautiful jade and turquoise, shimmering golden objects, fine silks from many places...it was truly a paradise. The King gave me my very own place to sit at his side. I remember the feel of gold and silk beneath my belly, I miss it so much. There was even my very own jeweled scarab, but I lost it long ago.
In fact...I may have eaten it by mistake. I remember being hungry and finding a bug that was oddly very, very tough to swallow. Oh well...
My King...he was the one that gave me this Ankh around my neck.", he shows a small golden pendant around his throat. It is easy to miss as it is the same color as his belly.
He continues the story.
Aaaassssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss....
"I lived for many years by my master's side. But soon, things...seemed to happen very quickly. Food became scarce in the land..."
((To be continued))
I may need a little help with
Poor Ayya, swallowing his jeweled scarab XD

Mrhh really writingblock'd on
The idea I had was that there is a famine and the King uses Ayya and another snake to determine a prophecy. The two snakes fight to the death, and the winner determines the next course of action.
Just trying to decide how to continue it. I can't stand getting stuck like this.
I can't really help with the
If you want there to be a famine, and Ayya is servant to a king, you could have a villager-person come to the king, Ayya present, and develop it through the king and peasant's convesation, leading up to the prophecy.
Or, famine hits, and the civilization could be invaded in their time of great need. The king, having little in way of options, could give Ayya and other treasures to the invaders in return for food/not being killed/etc. Ayya would then have a new master and could continue his tale of always being subservient to someone.

Oh I actually really like the
And maybe eventually he rises in ranks as a fighter, and one day goes back to Meroë to discover his home once again. He is still very young at this point so he wouldn't understand why he was taken away.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'm going to use that XD
Haha I just realized how much it resembles Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as well as a little of Moses. But from a snake's perspective. I like it!
I love the story Quad! I
