One Wrong Turn

*Kili* · 12-15-2013, 02:14 PM

?Home is behind, the world ahead,
and there are many paths to tread
through shadows to the edge of night,
until the stars are all alight.?

Kili growled and snapped at a briar branch that had latched itself into his coat. Though the leaves had fallen away the thorns remained, and seemed to have a penchant for finding his mats and tangles. This damnable thicket is far worse than my fur, he thought to himself, grumbling still as he strained to break free. The more he struggled, the worse his entanglement grew. Finally he fell limp, panting. Where on earth had his brother gotten off to? He had seen him not long ago, he was sure of it. Well, nearly certain at any rate. They had been looking for something to eat, and somehow Kili had ended up in hell. "Gods curse all briars!" he burst out, snarling and embarrassed that a handful of plants had gotten the better of him. His mother's voice reminding him about the necessity of coat care came back to him like a mocking spectra and Kili fell limp, sullen and hungry.

"Talk." Think. "You."
