So Far Away

The crimson beast was getting bigger and bigger everyday. Usually he spent his time keeping to himself, not spending time with any of his siblings or anyone else for that matter. He usually was alone, searching the forest for his... candy. He had found a little bunch of mushrooms not far from Seracia, where he would never tell, because these mushrooms were laced with pure gold. When he ate them he turned into a totally different wolf. He saw things the normal crowd would never see without these little gems. Things were good, the trees talked to him, the earth breathed beneath his paws, even the clouds sung along when he bellowed a tone here and there. But, sometimes, he would have the bad experiences. The ones where he would be curled up in a ball, mud covering his crimson pelt as he tried to dig himself in the ground to get away from the monsters. He never knew what type of trip he would have next, but the high he felt was worth it. The happiness took the pain away, the nightmares brought it back. It was a prefect balance for him. On this day, he had slithered back to Seracia after ingesting one of his shrooms. Things were good... Everything was good. The sky was swarming with all sorts of colors, from crimson to ivory. His body felt numb as he rubbed himself against the bark of laughing trees, himself cackling along at their jokes. The earth beneath his paws shifted rapidly, but he just saw it as mother earth breathing. Who was he to make it hold its breath just so he could walk straight? He didn't move the shifting plates beneath him. He looked forward, three tiny figures coming into his view. Their scent was strong in the air... It was... Who was it? He thought for a moment, then came to a conclusion. His siblings! And... someone else. He rushed toward them, his large frame swaying from side to side as he tried to keep his balance. "Yodeeelodleeeyo" He bellowed that the top of his lungs as he came up to the group. He looked toward his brother instantly. He studied his face for a moment... then he saw it. His brothers eyes sunk into the back of his skull, his head tilting away from his neck. It looked like it was about to fall off! Valkis's heart started racing, his breathing quickening up. He looked toward Kamala. She looked... pretty normal. He came toward her, stopping inches away from her frame. Then it hit him again! Her toungue fell out of her mouth, wrapped itself around her neck, slithered around her abdomen and back, and came back up in the same pattern so it was sitting on top her nose. "Put it back! It is trying to choke you!" He turned away from her, another scent drawing his attention away. Now, this lad... who was he? "Taluuuuuutttaaaaahhhhhhhh. PRAISE THE GODS!" He threw himself against the ground, rolled on his back, and flailed his legs in the air. He was praising the gods in his mind, but in reality, he looked like an idiot. Speech, |
