Prompt:
How does a cat acquire such a close, life-long companion in a snake?

The answer is quite simply, really.

They were both kept by the same twoleg.

In The Store, snakes are seen as the physical forms of Starclan come down to speak to the living.

Meaning: When a strange new cat is found, accompanied by a snake wound around them, as if they're close friends?

Yeah buddy, you're being forcefully promoted straight to Oracle rank. Have fun deciphering prophecies!

Cat Name: Belladonna
Gender: female
Rank: Hunter
Clan: FrostClan
Age: 38 moons
Prompt:
Belladonna hadn't always been this way. Slightly off, in a way one might not catch at a glance - tail a bit too long, teeth just a little too sharp. No, she used to be an ordinary cat... that was, until her scaly little friend came along.

It had been a cold day, as it usually was back in those old forests. Too cold for a young cat to be out on her own, without a warm nest or a place to call her own. Certainly too cold for a young snake, who never should have been slithering its way up a pine tree in the first place, let alone in the middle of autumn. But, as cold as it was, they were both still out there, shivering among needles and crumbling leaves.

Belladonna hadn't seen the snake, at first. She was tired, and cold, and a bit grumpy to top it all off, so she hadn't been paying much attention when she began to climb the old pine, searching for a safe place to take a nap. The snake had also been trying to nap - but apparently that became slightly more difficult when a cat's claws were suddenly embedded in your tail.

The snake had been fast, as snakes usually were, and the last things Belladonna remembered were fangs in her paw and her head connecting with the ground.

When she awoke, she miraculously wasn't dead. Not from smacking her head off the near frozen ground, nor from a good-sized snake swallowing her whole. In fact, the snake didn't seem interested in any sort of violence at the moment - it was just wound up across her flank... napping.

And he had, more or less, never left it since. Even as her teeth grew longer, and her prey behaved... oddly whenever she nipped at them, and her tail seemed to move perfectly in sync with Daffodil's, and her tongue felt a bit funny in her mouth. And even as he grew and grew, larger than Belladonna knew snakes could grow, until he could wrap himself around her completely. It was convenient for travel - Daffodil had a great grip - and the impression they made on others was hysterical, to put it lightly.

Maybe a bit of an odd way to start a friendship - but Belladonna was grateful he had enjoyed the warmth of her pelt enough to not have her for breakfast.

Prompt: your daily dose of myths and legends

once there was a goddess
(a golden goddess)
the length of the river
tall as a small mountain

once there was a warrior
an (un)honorable warrior
with the eagle’s eyes and the tiger’s claws
who strived to tame all the beasts

once
a goddess and a huntress
they met

and to everyone’s surprise
they did not fight

no —
together
they reigned

(together, they reigned;
clans fell and clans grew
and they reigned;

they ruled the earth and heavens
the land, the sea, the sky
they ruled

and ruled
and ruled—)

ONCE
there was a warrior
(an honorable warrior)
with words of truth and paws of power

and then
by his blade
gone was the goddess
gone was the huntress
and a new power ruled

(soon, an equally corrupt power ruled)

and then…

ONCE
(into existence) came a cat
with the green and yellow eyes
(the eyes of a huntress)

ONCE
on a hunt
the cat met a snake
(a golden snake)
with the tongue
(with the power)
of a goddess

and...
when they returned to camp
the whole world quivered
(the whole world quivered)
in fear
