Into the Unknown

His ear flicked at the male’s voice, briefly pulling him back to consciousness. “I don’t-“ he managed and then trailed off to mutter incoherently. His body rattled with thirst but the stranger promised water had been close…Assuming the stranger was actually there. He willed himself to open his eyes, almost expecting to see Ley’s burning glory shining down on him, waiting to fulfill the promise of water and shade with the everlasting peace of eternity. A wild chill ran through him as his eyes opened and he was met with blinding light, then settled as they focused on a brown male. He was still alive but was now elsewhere. He reached for what had brought him to the foreign land but the reason still seemed distant. Slowly and with great effort he lifted the full bulk of his body, nearly stumbling against the male as his full weight fell onto his paws. He felt nauseous and dizzy and his thoughts seemed to be lost in a haze, but the male surely would help him. “Where?” He gasped and then dropped his head as he dry heaved. By His Light he felt miserable. Why couldn’t he have just died?
“You know why.” A voice deep inside him answered, willing him to reach out again and seek the distant answer. "Talk" "Thought" "You" |
