Deity stood upon the roots of a gently swaying willow, her eyes locked on a large group of wolves clustered around something. She was passing through the area when a tangle of scents had hit her nose like a blow. Each scent was so different that it could only mean that their owners had come from far away for whatever this event was. Or, coincidentally, they’d all met up here and were making introductions. That was far less likely. Deity peered around the willow she was hiding behind, thinking. If these wolves had all come from different lands, it could mean anyone was welcome here. She could investigate whatever they were surrounding without repercussions. Potentially. Shaking her head to awaken her confidence, Deity sauntered towards the group, head held high. Though her exterior was cool and unconcerned, her eyes flicked from person to person, observing each motion. She noted a massive fanged wolf, which she made a point to stay a few steps away from. Quietly, she had worked her way to the crowd, and unconsciously gravitated toward another she-wolf who seemed to be rather... unsure of herself. Like she didn’t belong here. What she let show in her motions was in fact what Deity felt inside, though she attempted to mask it with an air of aloofness. The she-wolf Deity now stood beside was tiny, and... horned? She was horned. Odd. Her height reminded her of the other small wolf she’d met— Dutch, the tinkerer, if memory served— but this woman, impossibly, may be even smaller. Deity turned her attention to the thing that these strangers were clustered around, and waved her tail in surprise. A tiny wolf stood, looking terribly uncomfortable, weighted down by a cord and stone. A dark-furred she-wolf stood by its side, her icy blue eyes seeming to smirk as they surveyed the crowd. Deity recalled Dutch mentioning something about captives— could this be a captive? Fascinating. Tilting her head, Deity decided to stand and observe the interaction. |
And so our haloes became collars and golden chains; our proud, shining divinity became the very thing that bound us.
