NEVER SETTING MY BELOVED MYTHZ TYSM

Username: ethium
Cat Name: horizon's never setting sun / neversetting
Gender: tom
Rank: advisor
Clan: the stagnant
Age: 40 moons
Prompt:

Neversetting had never been a fan of the tunnels, especially since he had awoken. They were too dark and foreboding for his liking. The sun did not reach down here, leaving him with eyes adjusted to the darkness. He had to be flexible, despite his desire for the sun's warmth. The sky above was too dangerous for the likes of him.. or any cat for that matter.

Neversetting wound further and further through the tunnels, his eyes were well adjusted to the dark, but still struggled to make out shapes in the distance. As he entered a large cavern. Or what he presumed to be a large cavern, he couldn't make out the walls or the roof any longer. He stumbled over something stone in his path that he had failed to see, and fell down a short drop, pulling loose dirt and stone down with him. With a grumble he shook himself, clearing his fur of dirt and his head of ringing. He looked around with his limited eyesight, only to freeze at the sight before him. Before him stood the figure of a cat, face contorted in an expression of terror. However, the figure was made entirely of stone. Facial details, ear, and even fur clumps. It was like a cat had been wrapped in it, unable to escape. With horror seizing his heart, he realized who was he was looking at.. he realized what he had just fallen into.

Before him, and somewhere in the pit he had just fallen into lay a slumbering stone serpent.. Neversetting froze, realizing he had fallen into the graves of the lost. Cats and other creatures who had fallen victim to the stone serpent's petrifying sight would stand here forever as a warning and a reminder of those who had been lost. Primarily because it was too dangerous to retrieve them. Where a stone figure was.. the stone serpent wasn't usually far behind. A chill ran down neversetting's spine.

Behind the lithe form of the feline, a great eye opened, staring down at the newcomer that had disturbed the snake's rest. A hiss pulled itself from the depths of its throat, and the stone serpent reared up, jaws opening as the feline turned to find the stone serpent behind him.

Gazing into the eyes of the great snake, Neversetting felt frozen to the spot. An odd sensation coated his pelt, but as he stared into the eyes of the serpent, he felt as if he could forget all of the terror that had kept him here. He felt oddly at peace. The stone wrapped itself around the stone serpent's victim, encompassing the tom in its mineral layer. And then the world went silent. Silent as the stone around him.
