Summary
Krait'Snap woke up on the edge of the city, dying. She was rescued by Cobra'Hood, the leader of a struggling Glaring. The guilt of costing so much to Cobra pushed Krait to pursue her foggy memories, trying to find a hint to his past that might help the situation. What he found instead only furthered his guilt, causing Krait'Snap to further neglect and put himself at great risks to pay off the debt and protect his newfound family... before he ran out of time. Through dangerous foraging, fights in the arena, Krait struggles with her morals and the path she has chosen for herself.
Serpent's Glaring
The city, once a monument to the achivements of humanity, has now been abandoned by them. In the absence of their old life, the cats who remained formed new societies and rules; the Glarings. The cats believe that their end will come, similarly to how it did for humanity, and so having your legacy carried on holds the most value here. The Serpent's Glaring is near the bottom of that heirarchy, with only a few members and struggling to keep them safe. It rose from the ruins of the old Serpent's Glaring, revived by the only survivor of that time, Cobra'Hood. Unlike other Glaring Heads, she tries to lead it with compassion, and a believe that the way to survive the end of the world is unity.
The Arenas
In the absence of people, cats have taken over many of the tools and systems needed to function. This includes breeding livestock, crafting tools and a barter system. The Arenas function as a way to gamble your life; offer sometihng of value to enter, and the winner at the end of the night takes it all. Different arenas have specific rules on the types of fights and rewards, but they all oppose direct murder of cats within their walls. "Accidents" are unavoidable, though. And cats are encouraged to make weapons for themselves to aid in their battles.
The Head of the Serpent's Glaring, Cobra'Hood is a kind and loving figure who Krait admires and wishes to be worthy of. Despite the two caring deeply for each othe, they're often in conflict, as Cobra doesn't believe that Krait owes anything, and Krait cannot shake the guilt he feels. Krait does her best to support Cobra's ideals, wishing that he too could follow the morals she has, even if it means going against the world.
Krait'Snap cares deeply for the youngest member of the Serpent's Glaring, and tries to do her best to shield his innocence and childhood from the dangers of the outside world. That comes at the expense of babying him, and while Krait knows that Little Snake has suffered the reality of their world, she is blinded by his admiration of her.
Krait isn't sure what to make of Viper. He isn't a real part of the Serpent's Glaring, and seemed to just watch them from a distance before Krait managed to track him down. Viper understands Krait's guilt over oweing a debt, and teaches him about crafting weapons and the arena customs. The two get along, and Krait grows to respect Viper a lot, but is never made privvy to whatever history he might have with the Serpent's Glaring.
A dangerous adversary Krait meets in the arena, TBN hated him from the moment they met. Initially seeming to be because of their Glarings' rivalled history, Krait grew to suspect that there might be a personal element too. They fight dangerously, with Krait managing to just get away each time. Eventually though, she's able to fight back and the two grow to have a mutual respect.
