Adventure is out there! ... Maybe too much

Briar's reply brought a giggle from the girl. Her teeth were big and she was surely very scary. Of course she was. Dusk was a Carpathius! The best of the best. The biggest and the baddest and the scariest. Rawr! Lost in her own mental musings, the girl growled at the giant skull and pretended to fight it, bouncing around the old, dead thing.

As her mother continued to speak about things that used to be alive, Dusk again looked at the skull. Her head tilted and she wondered what this big thing might have looked like. "I think dad is bigger," the inkblot spoke aloud. Nothing was bigger than her dad. Together, she and her dad could have brought this thing down. Easy easy easy.

Pulling away from the skull, Dusk followed her mother across the hilly landscape, eyeing the various bones that stuck up out of the ground. When asked where she wanted to go, the girl's tail swished back and forth over the grass. Without another moment wasted, Dusk slid down the slope, little pebbles and other debris clattering down behind her.
