Deity allowed a light smile to grace her maw at the male’s introduction. He seemed nice enough. Good thing Dova had him to guide her to the cave. She was about to offer her own name in return when an unfamiliar scent hit her nose. Her hair stood on end, and she straightened up in alarm, pushing her ears forward and straining her eyes against the darkness. Something unsettled her about this shape, perhaps the fluidity of the creature’s movement as its shadow briefly passed through the strip of light by the entrance. Its figure, from what she had seen, was far too rectangular to be that of a wolf; the shoulders raised and pointed, and the snout too short. ”Who’s there?” She barked, unnerved by the unfamiliarity of the scent. It wasn’t wolf. She had no idea what sort of predator lingered in the opening of the cave, nor what its intentions were. All she could see was the tip of a... a rounded tail, it seemed, barely visible in the dim light streaming from the cave entrance. It could hurt her, or Dova, or Thoren. 2/3 Met Someone New 1/3 Met Someone New |
And so our haloes became collars and golden chains; our proud, shining divinity became the very thing that bound us.
