Altar of Twilight dizzy miss lizzie

✴        While he thought the boulder had been moving, it had really been a trick of the autumn light through the waving mane of some great big thing. The grass trembled too, but Revui's attention was fixed on the broad thing. He realized as he got closer that the sides of the boulder were undulating with breath; in, out, in, out, and then rolling away from him. In the next moment a pair of eyes were fixed on him and he stopped moving as if that would save him from scrutiny.

The voice he understood, if only barely. There was a heavy accent to the words that made things a little harder for him, and he idly tilted his head to and fro as if a new angle would help. Get hurt? He supposed that this large thing — this wolf, he realized — could probably crush him so fast that he'd be dust before his family would ever notice.

But he was not afraid, regardless. He was impressed. Revui looked at the slacking creature and paced a step in one direction, then another, angling for a better look, and then he tried to mimic the stranger's gargantuan size. If this was the gym, he'd be flexing in front of the mirror and trying to match the biggest guy in there. He was nearly at his full size and that made him bigger than his siblings and nearly as large as his sister Hydra, but nowhere near this big.

He realized he couldn't quite make it, and chuffed softly in defeat, but didn't leave.
