time to step it up

Ever since he and his siblings had turned the ripe age of one, there had been something on Ghoul's mind. Sometimes tossed to the side when he was training with Macabre or spending stolen time with his new interest, Edelweiss, it was still there. Lingering in the back of his thoughts. One day, he wanted to be heir and if that was going to happen, he needed to get a move on. Kali was alright in his opinion, very diplomatic and regal, but Ghoul knew he could do better. He could make Recluse proud like none of her other offspring had done before.

Taking no more time to wait, while the mountainside seemed quiet and the blanket of night lingered over him, Ghoul made his way toward Recluse's shared den with Eraithus. It would be the first place for him to check as she might still be waking up after her daytime slumber. Pausing by the entrance at a respectful distance, the pale boy let out a warm but noted chuff. One that would clue his mother in that he had something important to discuss with her. Shifting the weight between his paws while he waited, his ruby eyes drifted up toward the moon.
