Kaa the shimmering fallen.

 There lived in the deep woods of sprinkling vines and creeping shade, the most spectacular glittering drop of sunshine. It so happened that she was also a witch and brewed her sunlight in the depths of the vibrating rustle of the leaves. Her name was Kaa and she could move faster than light itself, something her tiny flickering self had practised and something that her father had not managed to do because of his massive obesity. Kaa was long and disappeared every so often from the eyes of the croaking pigs and onlooking toads. Her slenderness allowed her to escape danger before it had even realised her shimmering silhouette. The many brown leaves worshipped her as a Goddess. Perhaps she could be, but no one had dared witness her power until they began to brown into the mud. Vicious, her power was, she could contrast the dark world with her darker soul that burned unseen because of her blinding light. They said it was easier to avoid her than lose the protecting darkness she fought against - after all, nobody wanted to lighten into brown or resemble Kaa.

She waded through several green leaves, turning them white and brown as she passed through them, hoping to find a listener of her song. The song she had wailed as she had dropped from the glory of her father's grasp. Kaa was still his daughter and so became much like Circe, the abandoned daughter of light brewing for herself. The deep lonely forests sheltered her as she devoured pig and flesh alike. The day she laid her silver egg, she found in herself the same protective relief that the Greek nymph had. Reflecting the child into her own vision, the two played and her lips curved into the smile she had forgotten. Kaa and her child could not be separated. The extension of her peeled skin would disallow even Athena.

The day that Kaa was going into her shiny home, she noticed the welcoming of another into her mirror-world. The snake coiled onto the slender leg of the human-voiced Goddess. As they easily found their skins hypnotizing and becoming one, Kaa could feel her sister come to life. In moments of reverse splits, Kaa closed her eyes, and tasted the nectar, golden as herself, in that moment going through the holes she had intended to leave on the self-healing skin. The swiftness with which Kaa found her comfort in Circe's womb, allowed her to share her massive knowledge. Spewing new ideas into the first witch, venomously hoping to escape from their conscious, now resembling the same story. Kaa grew stronger with Circe and Circe learnt the will of her breath. Sisterhood crescendoed into a merging of the twins.
