BENEATH THE STAINS OF TIME

the man scoffed irritably at toprak's lack of creativity. honestly, how was he supposed to have any fun? stilts dipped in coal brought the pestilent wolf closer to his listener, wicked smirk playing over his lips as his voice carried on quietly. "two writhing, drooling beasts known as sk?ll and hati. they are constantly on the hunt for s?l and m?ni." a sliver of saliva snaked from parting lips as jaeger dug his toes into the sand, shoulders rolling as his eyes washed over his guest. he had to slow his excessive breathing down in order to continue, "legend says that in the end, they will overtake m?ni and s?l and swallow them whole." he looked away, expression slowly darkening as his gaze seemed to fix on some far away place. "imagine that.. a world of raw darkness..." his voice trailed off as images of his mother, whom he had abandoned, and his dear brother clouded his mind. a dryness in his throat spread as his jaw set, muscles growing rigid as he drew himself further into thought.
