Its a brand new day

When the fish got lighter, he knew Azure had found a way to help, and together the two large pups dragged the weird creature up to shore. Morts wings were still tucked tightly to his body, offering him no help in the water, and he left them there once his paws were finally free of the sea. They heaved it onto the sand, and let it go. It flopped there, helpless and gasping.

Mortis tinged a little at not ending it more quickly, it felt wrong to do it this way. No matter how endless his brother's curiosity was. But, he wouldn’t ruin the other boys' experiments, even if he didn’t agree to them. Maybe he would talk it out later with Mama, and see what her thoughts were. His brother had a very deep fascination with death.

He looked to its head as Azure’s paw gently nudged it, and Mortis crinkled his nose in thought. “Hmm” he mused. “I guess so?” only one way to find out. He drew one of his cat-like claws from their sheaths and struck at the creatures head, trying to put his claws in and draw its flesh apart. Its skin felt weirdly spongy.
