Nothing in This World

It was rare for Basilisk to stray far from his mother's side, but lately she seemed to be enjoying even more private time with his father than usual. Feeling vaguely unwanted, the boy had wandered from Amenti territory, somewhat surprised to not see his siblings trailing behind him. Truthfully, it was a good thing -- if he ran into danger, he didn't want his brother and sister to get caught up in it too. So with a quick decision, Basilisk Saxe left home for the first time, letting his paw take him wherever they pleased. He was far too young to think of the consequences of wandering off on his own, but had decided he was old enough for it. In all reality, it was unwise for a six month old pup to go exploring during a storm, but he was convinced he was ready. The snow was something new to the rapidly growing boy, and he loved every second of it. Over-sized paws tread through the steadily accumulating snow, tail whipping out behind him as he went. Rarely did he express such obvious joy, but he reveled in the sensation of the cold substance crunching between the pads of his feet. Eyes blinked, lashes batting away snowflakes as he gazed at the sky. His journey took quite some time. The boy was lost in his thoughts, enjoying the alone time, when a gradually increasing roar reached his ears. Was it another wolf? Ears perked atop his head, curiosity taking over him. If the sound was coming from someone else, they sure were big, he thought silently. Slowly the geyser came into view, seeming to reach high above the treetops. Purple eyes grew wide with wonder at the phenomenon. It took Basilisk a long moment to realize that there was a wolf standing near the spraying water. He was unaware what a strange sight he must look, his stark black coat standing out like a sore thumb against the white of the snow; vibrant purple eyes staring at her in wonder as he padded closer. But he was no idiot, and he approached carefully. Mom had taught him that some wolves wanted to hurt others, and that he needed to be careful. But curiosity was growing strong within him, and he nodded towards the water as he drew close to her. "Did you do that?" His question might seem stupid, but he was young and naive and had never seen or heard of anything like this in his short life. He'd never talked to someone outside of Amenti, and was normally rather quiet, but he needed to know what this was so he could tell his siblings about it. |
