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..."
