What Big Teeth You Have

It still surprised young Artorias to see fossilized remains of creatures long-since deceased. Their size, their gargantuan teeth and jaws, the sun bleached bones protruding from craggy cliffs and clefts... It made him wonder just how long they'd been here. He'd never seen creatures shaped like these bones before. How old were they? How old was Auster and Boreas? Bowen peeked over the edge of a ravine, and Art came up alongside her to peer down as well. The sheer drop housed a number of skeletal remains wedged between the rocks. He let out a whistle and muttered an awed, "Damn...!" Thank the gods those beasts were long dead. He didn't dare try to imagine what protecting his family against one of them would be like! As if reading his mind, Artorias felt Bowen nuzzle beneath his chin, snapping him out of his thoughts with a lovestruck smile while he brushed his snout across the girl's head and down the back of her neck before following her down one hill and up another.
