What's Another Wayside Waif?

The intruders never seemed to end in this place. That was why Chimera liked islands. They provided the privacy that he both wanted and needed. It was much more difficult to infiltrate an island than it was the mainland. You basically only had one side to guard. If anyone came from the back end, well... they were pretty damned determined.

Mainland territories needed to be constantly patrolled, so that's what Chimera had been doing in the estuary. All around, birds of varying species sang and squawked and honked. It was kind of annoying, but they were a neverending food source, so Ashen would continue to take hold of this land. They weren't the only wolves to covet the bounty of the estuary, however. Often as of late, many wolves seemed to be trying their luck here. He was coming upon another of them now.

A young boy was slinking through the long grass of the marshy place. Chimera could see his ears poking above the grasses and could smell the boys scent. He hadn't quite learned how to walk with the wind just yet. The behemoth of a brute walked surprisingly quietly behind the boy, knowing the paths to take and the proper footing to utilize. He tested the boy scent again and it held a tinge of familiarity to it. It was good for the boy, not that Chimera would have harmed him anyway, but it would serve to lighten the lesson that was right on the horizon.

"You're trespassing, boy," Chimera's glacial tones rumbled from behind the youngling. Birds scattered at the sudden sound of vocals, taking to the sky in a dark curtain before fading away as they dissipated. The dual-toned giant stood there, waiting for the child to either run or state his business.
