Of all the hare-brained, idiotic, poorly planned, destined-to-fail schemes Perseus could recall himself having ever cooked up, this one was by far the worst. If he ever saw his mother again the first order of business would be clearing up exactly how many times he'd been conked on the head as a pup. This was just so... so stupid. In his head it sounded like a grand adventure, travelling up as far north as he could go, braving the winter, exploring the worst of what mother nature had to offer and coming out the other side with stories to tell. In practice? Well... The howling wind buffeted him, slicing through his pelt and cutting in towards his bones. Not even his thick winter coat was enough to keep him warm. Worse yet, even when he thought he'd arrived as far north as north could go, the land decided to play a little trick on him. Oh, you have got to be kidding me... He stood on a ridge overlooking the ocean, dotted with scraggly pines fighting to stay alive in this unforgiving climate. What should have been an open expanse was marred with a very distinct trail of ice leading out towards the sea. It should have been his invitation to turn back, and yet even through the pain and chattering teeth he was... curious. A speck of movement caught his eye below. Percy couldn't imagine anyone as batshit as he was who would willingly be out in this, but sure enough it was... some sort of quadruped. Even squinting, he couldn't make out any distinguishing features. Curious twice over, he moved forward. Descending down towards the shore Percy soon realized it was a wolf, albeit a strange one who appeared much better prepared for this particular hell than he was. "Hi there," he called out over the blustering ocean wind. "Any idea what that's all about?" He tossed his head towards the bridge, hoping the woman would say something to the effect of 'What's what all about?' or 'What bridge?' or 'I think you're hallucinating from exposure, go lay down somewhere warm and wait for spring.' Something sensible like that. "Talk" "Listen" Think |
Perseus' siblings may enter into any of his threads, regardless of tagging!
