Get Down with the Sickness

Baldur's eyes drooped as he huddled in the mine shaft. He felt suddenly, exhausted and immediately regretted his conflict with Akemi. Such was the curse of a violent and short temper. He realized his mistake but now pride prevented him from going out to apologize. Ash-stained tail flicked in irritation. He was pissed at Hati, pissed at his family, and most of all he was pissed at himself. A sigh slipped from his maw as he got to his feet. It was then he heard the echoing chattering of something? Ears flicked forward as Baldur crept back to the edge peering down. A yell erupted from his maw as dozens of bats flew into his face, some of them clinging to his fur. Ivory fangs snapped over one as his head and body shook to kill, to kill it! YUCK! He barreled for the opening, bursting out into light in a snarling furry, bats pouring out behind him. They spiraled up into the sky, disoriented from the ash and probably disturbed but the shaking of the ground as a minor earthquake rumbled through the earth. Baldur shook himself out and stared at his family which seemed to have grown since his stint in the tunnels. Freya and Eyfura were there now and Baldur half wondered if something big had happened. Had the old back dissolved? Did Vili die? Or had they all, one by one decided to leave. He half-smirked at the thought. Vili could be a control freak in his own right, it probably pissed him off to know end that his charges were abandoning his idiotic rule. Good! Baldur regretted not being able to kill his uncle upon leaving. The bat suddenly squeaked violently a wing smacking him repeatedly in the face. With a growl he violently shook the creature. Jaws crushing it until it died. Tail flicked as he set it down. "Ok? so the mines are a bad idea?. there are some nice plains south of here how about we go there?" Without waiting he picked up his bat and headed in that direction. Pausing to turn and look back at the others. He was ready to get out of this living hell. |
