She followed him stealthily.
She had her reasons, she always did.
He was old, and his bones... they would be a lovely addition to her set—
How much had he seen? How much did he know? What lessons had he learned? Where would his bones point? So many dangers, so many years...
The heavy footfall of another stranger gave the narrow, whippish girl pause. Her narrow snout and her oversized ears fell backward as she narrowed her eyes, sniffing... and seeing. In the shadows she hid, and their attentions were elsewhere. But this man, this other man, the one not old... his presence was unwelcome here.
She looked to the elder, and as she raced off, she hummed her spell: "Not all things live, but all things must die — young or old, in your grave you will lie — and He who has aged will find She who must survive — Find me, He will find me, in three days time — or a sickness will befall Him, and all that see his eyes."
