scare the monsters out

Eris Pyre

Oh, Tor, how did she keep ending up in these situations? Although she knew the answer was quite simple (Eris could just make out her paw in front of her nose on a good day), she pretended that it was much more complicated than that. Maybe it was some sort of karmic retribution for having narrowly avoided recent death - maybe she had been meant to die, and would now spend a long while suffering in return. Rats. Making a mental note to say a long prayer tonight to the moon goddess, Eris tried to keep her spirits up. This place wasn't nearly as bad as the field of pitfalls and quicksand that Oxide had helped her navigate, so it should be a piece of cake. If she focused, she could still recall just how the much larger male smelled.

Unlike the field of quicksand pits, this area was wet all over. It made it just that much more difficult to locate the problem areas. Eris managed to sidestep the ones that she came across, taking her time. There was no rush - the more careless she was, the bigger the consequences. She took a deep breath, trailing his nose along the ground to feel obstacles before stepping over them. The grimy mud and water covered her underbelly and legs. Thankfully, Eris' diminutive stature and light weight kept her from sinking too deep. "This place is awful," she grumbled crossly, keeping her ears as alert as possible to detect threats early. With the bright sun blazing down, she was still able to make out large shapes and colors. This served her well as she roved across the swampland.

Ahead, she heard a splash. Eris paused and stood complete still. There was another noise, like the sound of something thrashing around. Oh, no... Was it some kind of voracious amphibian? A big frog? A crocodile? Eris inhaled sharply and picked her way around a particularly large tree root. She peered around the obstacle, squinting to try and locate the source of the noise. Through the muck, she could just barely detect the scent of another wolf. Eris' tail flagged and her ears perked. The poor thing was absolutely covered in mud, from nose to tail tip, but seemed to be inching towards something that she couldn't make out. With her compromised vision, there was no way that Eris could see the prize Muses was focused on.

The small female approached her carefully, making plenty of noise as she did so the stranger wouldn't be alarmed. She stopped splashing around once she got closer. "Hello, hello? Are you okay?"Eris asked, tilting her head to the side. She had never mastered the Ademre stoicism, and at this point, it was unlikely she ever would.
