A Gosh Darned While

That call... There was no way it was real. Ashmedai had been long gone with Imperium. Surely it wasn't actually Ashmedai calling her. Had she really gone crazy?

Maybe she was crazy, but she followed the call anyway. Her footsteps became eager, then she was running. Just at the edge of the pack, a large, blue-grey figure loomed. Had he always been... so big? Sparrow slowed, her tail making low, quick sweeps. As she came closer, all the markings seemed to stand out. Those freckles of snow and those sky blue eyes.

"Ashmedai?" she called, still unsure. She was only a couple steps inside the pack now. Sparrow could see him well, even smell him, but something nagged at her. Something held her back. It felt like it was building up in her stomach, then, all at once, she launched forward into the chest of the stormy brute.
