This Long Road

The day was unusually warm, and all around him was the buzzing of insects and the silent hum of sunlight. Below him a dark granite stone baked in the sunlight, and above him white clouds floated, puffy and immense. Perhaps they were teh precursor to a spring storm, but for now the day was peaceful. That was what he had come to this area to seek, in fact. It was the most serene, tranquil place he had been able to find, and so it was that he decided to make it his home. He found it within him to smile, and drink in the scents of new moss and a recent rain. Sparse flowers bloomed among the grasses. A ways off he spotted a flick of movement. Tensity filled his body, pushing the peace violently from him. His hackles rose, his lips pulled back, and his claws dug into the stone. A heartbeat later, he saw that the supposed threat was, in truth, naught but a young rabbit. It had not spotted him, laying on high, and went about it's business. Meanwhile, Razo's heart beat had run away from him. It hammered in his chest, and he felt dizzy with the sudden rush of adrenaline. Damn, he thought to himself, faintly. He still had a very long way to go. The sun suddenly felt hot on his dark furred back, and he lept from his rock. Keen ears picked up the rabbit's alarm and resultant flight, but Razo did not give chase. His ears flicked in frustration. He had done his best to avoid blood since leaving, preferring to scavenge when he could. Taking lives now made him bitter, and fearful. His angry thoughts raged, reminding him that he was a wolf, a hunter, and it was his right to kill. He shut his eyes, and slumped down into the shadows. "Talk" Think "You" |
