Share the pain

Rudy was filled with an inner frustration that felt like it was burning up his insides.  The reasons should be obvious enough but they were things hard to voice.  He was one who always tried to put things in a positive-sounding light, or how to get past any problem situations that came up.  For all of Rudy’s talents, his best had to be talking and right now that was failing him.  There was also no hunt he could go on or enemy to best that would make things better.  Bigger now and more helpless than when small it seemed.

He had just left the castle’s entrance as he looked at the plains before him.  Chasing and taking down prey might help him vent but the searching and stalking would do nothing.  He didn’t want to focus on the tedious part at the moment.  Normally they were things he’d enjoy but now he felt too impatient.  With a small sigh, Rudy reminded himself training was important.  Rudy imagined going to check on his brother or sisters but again he lacked the words.  They had all dried up inside of him and the boy wondered if they would ever return.  

Damn it.  The more Rudy thought about it the angrier he got.  The anger was caged up deep inside, hidden as surely as he use to hide and spy on others for fun.  Rudy wanted a fight.
