Storm Lord

*Meadow* · 07-03-2020, 02:41 AM

Rain. So. Much. Rain! It pelts her back and drives the small wolf to find cover under the canopy of some trees. Lightening rents the sky and thunder cracks in her ears. A whimper escapes as Meadow hides from the angry storm that lashes the coast. Tail tucks between her legs and head lowers as she tries to disappear in the face of this tempest.

The appeal of cataloging creatures here has quickly been lost in the rain-soaked evening. Maybe, after this, she will start making her way back to the Armada. Another ear-splitting crack and Meadow vows that she is heading home… tomorrow.

Then, something changes. Another sound splits the air. It is something she has never heard before and a spike of fear lodges deep into the wolf’s heart. Circling around behind the trunk of a tree, putting it between her and the scary noise, Meadow tries to sleep away the frightening night. Slumber does not come quickly and, when it does finally appear, is filled with strange monsters and demons.

------------

Morning light filters through closed eyelids and Meadow slowly opens her eyes. Sleep filled gaze finds that the storm has passed, leaving in its wake, debris and wet land. A yawn falls from her lips and she slowly stands, stretching out the kinks and pains from sleeping in a tightly curled position.

As senses come to full awareness, the small woman remembers the promise she made to herself. ‘Time to go home’ settles in her mind and Meadow points herself in the direction that she is pretty certain takes her back to the pack lands. Pulling herself to her full, albeit small, height, the wolf strikes off toward home.

Picking her paws up high, happy to be heading back to familiar territory, the white and mud colored wolf hums happily to herself. As she moves along, a form appears on the horizon. It looks like it might be big and, hoping that she may be able to observe its behavior and report back to Sirius about it, the optimistic wolf picks up speed.

As she gets closer, she notices it is indeed big. Scratch that. It is huge! The closer she gets she finds that the thing keeps getting taller! When she is within shouting distance she calls out, “Hello! My name is Meadow! I want to watch you!" It wasn’t so much that she thought it would answer, she wasn’t really certain the behemoth could, she did it more to get the creature to slow its enormous strides.

Darting up closer to it, Meadow comes to a complete stop as her neck cranes back to take in the full height of the beast. Jaw drops open and a, “Wow” escapes. It is about that moment that she comes to realize that it could squish her very easily and be on its merry way. A look of mild panic crosses her face as the small wolf says, “Well, I didn’t think this through.”

All the tiny, wolf can hope for is that this great big lumbering thing won’t sit on her. Or eat her. Oh dear. She really did not think this through.
