hidden in the grass

Little Siren was exhausted, running here after being bitten by Chimera, only to be confronted with the biggest change of her tiny life. She was fast asleep as soon as Mortis took his first few steps. The young once princess wasn’t disturbed a bit by their trip but as he slowed and stopped in the den the lack of his rhythmic step brought her to half wakefulness. For a moment she was filled with avision, imaginging Chimera was the one who’s back she’d fallen asleep on. To her dismay she realized as she slid off his back, that it was Mortis who held her.

She sighed heavily as her tiny form curled against the groove of his neck and chest as she made herself comfortable again. She didn’t realize it now but he was the best thing to happen to her. All she knew was the fear of what her brother might do, but at the moment her sleepiness fed into the safe feeling that Mortis brought. No matter how much she resisted the change deep down the girl knew she could sleep soundly for the first time in a long time. She sighed heavily as she relaxed fully against him, snuggling up under his chin as she found sleep once more and peace for the very first time.
