Soulless Forest Altar

Macabre · 10-23-2022, 11:45 AM

It was a bit difficult to adjust to life with one working eye, but Macabre managed. He and Ghoul were thick as thieves, continuously searching for more adventures together. The strange phenomena they’d encountered in the regions around them were strangr, but not something they were wholly unaccustomed to. After all, the boys were born under the cursed moon of the Long Night. They opened their eyes to mushrooms and crystals, took their first steps among dark shadowy groves of twinkling fireflies. Back then, nothing seemed amiss. Such sentiments still rang true as the half-blind yearling approached the altar with his brother. The rose-pelted male made a habit to stand at Mac’s blind side, helping be his guide when the regions they’d passed became rough or treacherous. What a blessing of a brother he had. Such a big help.

A wide grin etched its permanent place upon his lips. He always smiled now, except maybe when he slept. In his maw was his own gift - a taxidermy deer hoof, stuffed with scented herbs and painted with a luxurious golden sheen. It looked gilded, rich and masterful. Mac never did lose his touch with taxidermy craft - the loss of one eye meant he just relied morr on the other. After Ghoul presented his offering, Mac slowly made his way up to the altar - a grotesque yet beautiful relic of a three-headed wolf - and placed his offering next to his brother’s. Offering a soft bow of his head, the half-blind boy turned around and made his way back to Ghoul’s side, where they would proceed onwards to more adventures yet to come.

”Speech” ’Thought’

NPC:

As the decoration is laid, the familiars move to begin their investigation. They pick through the pieces of the offering as carefully as possible as to not disturb the layout the wolf has chosen. Speaking amongst themselves in hushed whispers too soft for prying ears, the familiars are clearly discussing what their God might think of Macabre’s decoration.

A single crow flies down to examine the offering, carefully sliding his beak past the scented herbs to the hoof beneath. The remains itself garnered little attention (positive or negative) though he did seem to have something to say about the gold sheen. With his beak he scratched off a small portion, but seemed to give up before editing the decoration any further. A large black cat steps forward to block your view with a prize in hand, smiling a soft smile and pressing the gift up against your paw. She encourages you gently to move on at your own pace.
