Tiptoe through the spookies

Kali was, perhaps, quite stupid for going out onto the Pitfalls so late at night, especially with the added fog that seemed to be wafting in waves across the sandy pits from the Soulless Forest nearby. Visibility was incredibly poor, and even though she’d been across them many times in her young life, she still had had a few close calls. She tiptoed across the landscape, bicolored gaze squinting as she crossed to try and make sure her next step wouldn’t be her last, but that was part of the fun, wasn’t it? Especially when things were so spooky!

The Malakim would have had to be daft to not notice the change in scenery. The days stretched on much longer than normal and the stars seemed to glow strange colors, even going to far as to dart around in ways she’d never seen before. It was interesting and certainly not boring, not like her pack had been lately. Plus, after her spar with her brother, she’d been trying to avoid him as much as possible. He was even more annoying than usual and she didn’t trust him to not try to attack her again. She could handle it, but she preferred to not have to. She continued tiptoeing her way across the land, the odd colored fireflies twisting their way around her legs and lighting up her face. She snapped her jaws at them in annoyance and it disappeared as if it had never been there. How annoying.
