Sifting Through the Snow

N/A · 04-25-2021, 08:48 AM

While Azriel had been mentally cursing every god he could think of for this foul weather, Sibyl spoke in that sweet, lyrical voice of hers and assured him that it was fine and would be better if it was actually spring. Her voice soothed him a little and the deep scowl on his face softened a touch. He had just wanted to make her happy and give her something to do. He knew how bored she was getting waiting around for Fel to show her face again, and if he were being honest, the lack of Fel's presence worried him. He had made his way to the border of Aerie a couple of times now hoping to catch a glimpse of the silver-gilded shadow somewhere, to no luck. Had he not found the scents of at least a dozen different wolves around, he probably would have chanced trespassing to try and find her. 12:1 odds did not inspire confidence in lawbreaking though.

Sibyl's excited cry caught Azriel's attention with a flick of shadow gray ears, peering up in the direction she was pointing to spot a small cluster of evergreen bushes. He didn't know a lick about healing, but if Sib was hyped up for them, they must be something good. "Worth a look," he said with a curt nod of his head. Maybe this trip wouldn't be a waste of time after all. Az blazed the trail through the deep snow for his smaller companion up the hillside to the top where the shrubs were. He thens stepped aside to allow Sibyl to inspect the bushes and determine if they were anything of value.

As he usually did, Azriel took post watching their surroundings from the top of the hill. Everything was so still and lifeless, it didn't feel real. It was as if the world had been put on pause, with nothing moving and nothing happening. Life was at a standstill. Silver-gray eyes surveyed the area, and locked onto the distant shapes of moving creatures. He focused his vision and realized it was a traveling caravan of tremendously large wolves trudging through the snow, their backs heaped up with supplies by the pound. He cocked a curious head while he watched them move, trying to figure out where they had come from and how they got so damn big. "Hey, Sib, you seeing this?" he called over without taking his eyes off the travelers in the distance. They didn't appear to be threats—but he also didn't know that for a fact.
