A Little Bit of Blue

Ulric saw the fox as well and the pair of wolves stepped closer to one another. Was it a ghost? A spirit? A demon or devil? She didn't want to stick around to find out and neither did Ulric. Their date night ruined, the pair of wolves left the stone circle and made their way in the direction of home. The silvered woman kept close to the large brute, her body always touching his as they moved. Not entirely out of fear, but more out of anxiousness and a sense of solidarity. She wanted him to know that she was with him and that they were both safe.

It seemed as though the fox wasn't done with them, however. As the pair moved along, Eska saw the luminescent vulpine peer out from behind trees, part the grasses with its white paws, peek down from the branches of trees. All the while those little yips continued to meet their ears. The fox didn't seem malicious, but it was definitely a trickster. Eska just focused on moving and, after a while, she realized that she no longer heard the sounds of the fox, nor did she see its sneaky form. Looking back over her shoulder, Eska saw no sign of the creature. Only a few blue fireflies drifted through on the evening breeze.
