ERIS PYRE

______________________________

Her eyes were rolling with fear. By the time Oxide approached, Eris was already deep in the throes of terror. Even his approach didn't startle her more than her current predicament. Sweat had broken out all across her body and coat was puffed out in distress - her tail was high and alert, straining towards the sky. She tried to look over her shoulder, but the more she struggled to lay her eyes on the stranger, the further she was stuck.

"Yes, obviously," Eris said bitterly. She was goodhearted and couldn't imagine leaving a creature to struggle as much as this stranger was. The female was young enough that it didn't occur to her that there was evil in the world, more real and powerful than she might have imagined. The dark forces that compelled others didn't even occur to Eris. Although there must be death alongside life, she believed there to be a higher good in the world. Suffering did not occur without meaning or karmic retribution. It looked like she was about to receive an important lesson. "Please, help me. What can I do?"
