The Unraveling - It Rises
Today, 12:38 AM
The small woman couldn’t help hanging around the cliffs where the unnamed man had perished since she has felt responsible for his death. Which means that Seere isn’t too far from them when the waves change as something underneath them disturbs their natural rhythm. Following the wolves who are already making their way up to the cliffs, she watches in silent horror as a strange head appears over the grass, its shiny beetle like exoskeleton reflecting the moonlight in a beautiful array of colors.
It is striking and terrifying, horror and beauty wrapped together in one massive body and, above it all, the putrid smell of death greets them. For a moment, Seere wonders if this the revenge of that man that had been condemned to death underneath the waves and she remembers how she wished for the gods to damn that entire group. Mismatched eyes watch as the different wolves approach it and throw things, offer themselves up, or just simply try to speak with it… and she knows what she has to do.
Small form is moving before she has time to talk herself down, slipping past the other wolves with easy as she moves up close to the edge, some distance away from the others since her words are not for their ears. Skidding to a halt, Seere looks up at the creature as its horrid aroma brings water to her eyes yet her voice soft and gentle as she says, “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you but this is not the answer. Please, please don’t do this. I cannot allow you to hurt anyone.”
With her piece said, she waits since she has connected this angry beast with the dead wolf in her own mind. Maybe this was the punishment of gods or maybe, it was just one doomed soul’s final curse on the land. Either way, the small monochrome woman is here to stop it.
Seere has a male Pallas's cat named Paunch and a female barn swallow named Aisling. They are always nearby.
