Bridge to Terabithia

Mortis · 08-13-2021, 11:26 PM

At his indication, Azure pushed close to him, ducking his head under Mort’s to see what he had seen. Mortis subtly leaned a little closer, unobtrusively offering a little of his warmth to the shivering Heir.

Moments later, Azure was pulling away and heading towards the bridge. Mortis caught up with a trott, and gasped when his paws hit ice. His daintier toes didn’t have the purchase Azure’s did and he immediately started to slip. His paws spriling in front of him and his back stretching away from his body, he started to go down hard. He instinctively fanned his wings for purchase, and the howling wind immediately snagged at them, and only aided to throw him backwards. He landed in a mound of snow just off the ice bridge. Hitting his rump hard.

Feeling a little out of breath, he watched Azure, who had reached the boy with envious ease, and poked at the body. Dead. Hopefully their father didn’t blame the boys for that one…

Getting back to his paws with a grimace, and not daring to venture back onto the bridge, Mort shook his head. ”We would have to head a little further back, closer to the pines.”
