If Ghoul would have it his way, he wouldn't leave mother's side. She was comfort, safety, and care all wrapped up into a sickened bundle. The plague that enveloped the land was still a large idea that left him confused. How was it that mama had crystals sprouting from her eye, but he nor his siblings had any? It was a mysterious thing happening that no one could or would even try to explain to him. At most, he just wanted her to be safe, but today was a day that she had her own duties to tend to so Ghoul was left to his own devices. The rest of his siblings were off causing mischief and he figured he might as well do the same. Unwilling to travel too far from their den, the pale-coated boy plopped his large paws down the rocky slopes of the volcano. He'd been in the flowering growth of Redbud Nook once before with his other brother Macabre so the area wasn't entirely new to him. Feeling thirsty, his red gaze sought out the creek that scored the soft ground beneath him. His large ears tuned in toward the babbling of water over smooth stones and decided to head that way first. What caused him to pause initially was seeing his quite larger sister leap up into the air to latch onto an animal. Ghoul's eyes widened as he watched the tall grass rustle and his sister's shoulders work to pin the thing to the ground. Curious to know if she would share her snack with him, he wandered over slowly so he wouldn't trip over his paws. As he drew near, he raised his chin to spy her staring at the crystal's growing her captive's eye. Tilting his head as his ears flopped over, he sat down to watch until the last breath left the creature. "Are you just going to stare at it or eat it?" He asks in his raspy puppy-like voice. |
