A Relic Among Relics

It was far too early in the morning for the metal beneath him to have warmed and so as he lay there the chill that had seeped into the contraption that night slowly began to work its way into the brute's fur. Very quickly he became chilled himself, but instead of getting up and finding a warmer place to lay Basileus stubbornly remained where he was. He gazed unblinkingly into the rising sun; his expression bland as he let his thoughts consume him. Vaguely he was aware of a dry, grittiness to his eyes but that feeling wasn't enough to bring him back to reality. However, the approach of another was and as Basileus became aware of the approaching woman he slowly drifted back to the present. Not sure if she was going to simply go around him he watched her progress out of the corner of his eye. After arching his neck in a lazy stretch Basileus then turned to face the woman as it became clear she was going to approach him. She was quite possibly the most petite creature he'd ever seen; her slight build and and slender features giving her an almost childlike quality. If not for the way she carried herself and an intangible, mature air that came with age he might have mistaken her for a yearling. Her expression was warm and open as she gazed up at him with a question on her lips, and her friendliness was catching; it was impossible to take in that sweet expression and be disagreeable. A friendly smile on his lips, Basileus shrugged and with a heavy accent said, "I do not know." He glanced down at the contraption briefly. The man had an idea of where it came from, but its exact purpose had been lost when the humans had died off. "Humans made it. It had," he uncurled himself and slid closer to the edge so he could point down at what remained of a tire as he spoke, "four round "feet" at one point, but that is all I know." |
