Winters in Atren were always blistering cold. To the west, the Cerwiss Sea drenched the country in rainfall year-round, and from the far north, harsh winds rolled off the Aelheim Mountains and buffeted the land. This left Atren one of the wettest places in the modern world, and the city of Breham was no exception. During spring & summer, the rain was manageable; it washed filth from the streets and there were gutters a'plenty. The sun baked away any puddles in three days time, and all was well.

During winter, however, oh how harsh snow could be! Breham could be smothered by a single night of snowfall, the frosty powder blanketing the city in white death. Citizens were trapped in their homes while horse-drawn snowplows struggled to clear paths, and business slowed to a crawl. Once per season, the Haflow River froze over, preventing ships from docking in the portside town, forcing everyone to live off stored goods. Any soul stuck outside during winter risked hypothermia and death, and alas, Breham had an abundance of streetfolk. Many homeless crowded close to refineries, warmed by the heat of industry, while others huddled to fiery bins. And some, sad to say, didn't see the season through.

Luckily, however, the homeless of Breham had a small blessing: among their ranks was a rather shy Scaly Brood, a snake woman named Belinda. An outsider who once dwelled in the hot, sandy lands of Thoys Owhar, Belinda was unfamiliar to snow. The frost and ice chilled her to the bone, forcing her into a deep slumber every winter, only to awaken come spring. Scaly Broods weren't known to hibernate, but most didn't live in colder climes either. So following her instincts, Belinda prepared every year...

... by guzzling heaps and heaps of food. Where Belinda found it, none could say; trash cans mysteriously emptied during autumn and stray animals vanished off the streets. Pet owners separated from their dogs often found their collars in alleyways, covered in drool, and the raccoon population plummeted. Missing persons reports skyrocketed between August and November, and only dropped at the first snowfall.

Belinda did this to fatten herself up, lest she starve during hibernation, and it worked: by autumn's end, the Scaly Brood weighed a staggering ten tons, much of it fat on her belly & ass. As a 30-something foot goliath, ten tons wasn't impressive on paper, but how those fat rolls jiggled. How that phat ass wobbled with every step. How plump that tail grew, thick with fat that belied the strength of those muscles. Belinda was a sight to behold, and when she curled asleep in Keystone Plaza, Breham's city park, that behemoth serpent could be seen from all-around, that golden sphere of a belly poking past the forest canopy.

And Belinda slept. She slept and slept and slept. She slept through everything, from the heaviest hail that could break bones to the harshest winter gusts. It blew right over that scaly mountain of corpulent fat. Some thought Belinda would freeze, but no: the power of digestion saved the serpent. As Belinda hibernated, her body burned off fat like a furnace, keeping her warm & toasty throughout the season. This made Keystone Plaza popular during winter, for the lost & homeless gathered 'round Belinda and basked in the ambient heat. It was healthier than crowding the refineries and cheaper than burning drums. The immense heat rolling off Belinda was enough to sweep away winter's chill from the bones and melt snow around her body, leaving a large patch of grass.

There was just one catch.

While the serpent hibernated, she still got hungry. Perhaps Belinda needn't eat, what with her massive frame of fat, but instinct is a bitch to kill. Anyone who drew too close to Belinda was liable to become snake food, and the safe zone never felt truly safe. After all, the Scaly Brood could stretch her neck to phenomenal lengths and her immense strength was terrible to behold. Last week, Belinda gobbled up ol' Harry like a hors d'oeuvre, and when the constables tried to scare away the crowd, they disappeared between that serpent's jaws with a single gulp. Trapped within that scaly prison, Breham's homeless watched as friends & foes alike beat their fists beneath that thick blubber and melted into stew. Food for the snake goddess.

Nobody questioned that Belinda was dangerous, even asleep... but when survival is on the line, anyone will do anything. And come springtime, when Belinda awoke, the Scaly Brood always found herself surrounded by abandoned tents & bottles, still a good hundred pounds heavier than normal. She'd collect trash, hoping to cash in recyclables for pocket change, and sigh deeply.

"Another winter, come & gone. What a pain."

Belinda sighed and glanced across her figure. Her tail was flush with fat, thick as a tree trunk, and her corpulent gut hung past her juicy thighs. Her dumptruck ass was wider than most doors, and her boobs? Well, they were frankly massive! Huge gazoonka-doonkas, they were, bigger than her head, bigger than watermelons! They weighed heavily on Belinda's back and jostled at the slightest movement. These mean puppies stretched her favorite sweater to the limit, making the seams creak, and from the winter chill left in the air, Belinda's stiff nipples rubbed against the fabric.

Letting out a soft braaaaaaaaaaaaaap, Belinda gripped her massive titties. Her fingers sank into the soft flesh, unable to fully hold them. They felt super sensitive; a single squeeze left Belinda hot & bothered. Winter was the breeding season for snakes, after all, and while spring was here, these tig ol bitties made Belinda's instincts ache.

"I wonder... if Tony is around?" Belinda's fork tongue flickered in-and-out of her mouth. She smelled the savory aroma of pork pies cooking in a nearby bakery, and the folks that gathered 'round to buy a pie. "He owes me a favor... and a meal..."
