He sought her gaze, wishing to tell her that he was coming but not trusting his voice to carry the message to her. It was then that the sky lit up in the only warning he would receive. A bolt struck him, catching him completely off guard and throwing him into unconsciousness before he had time to register what was happening. A boom of thunder so loud as to deafen would rock the terra, but the boy could spare no appreciation; he was already gone. "Speaking" Thinking |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
