A Little Bit Happy

As spring gives way to summer, the temperatures begin to rise and, with that, bring the first heatwave. The sun beats mercilessly down upon the lands of Insomnia and Enki decides to retreat to the land of the nearby willows in search of some relief. Normally, the long limbs of the willows sway with each soft breath of wind but today they stand eerily still. There is no wind to offer a sweet respite from the scorching rays and, as he gazes into the large pond that surrounds the weeping trees as he walks, the pale pink man swears that the water line is receding.

Worry blooms in his gut as Enki wonders if this what the entire summer will hold for them and, if so, how Insomnia might be able to lessen the impact to their wolves. Pink form slips through the green veil of branches that surround one of the still giants and a grateful sigh slips from his maw as the punishing rays are finally taken off his sensitive skin. Gently, he lowers himself to the ground while observing his surroundings, considering what he will tell Medusa as he lays there.
