Mudminnow River it will break my heart to go against your wishes [m]

Aventus and Arielle invited in by Ebony!
Aventus invited @Arielle to accompany him on a walk outside the valley. He wanted to do some recon on the bypass and knew his wife would never allow him to do so alone, so he framed it as a walk and led her north along the waterways into the dying light. After the trip to Silvertip Mountain and back, this little jaunt was gentle on his side.

He was on guard in case there were bypass wolves about even at this late hour, but no amount of wariness could prepare Aventus for the carnage they discovered at the creek. The scent of blood came first, cloying and heavy in his nose. It drew him toward the site of their mutual demise.

There he came to an abrupt halt, staring down at the flame-licked body of his father entwined with the bloodied body of his great aunt. He could not peel his eyes from the scene, even when his heart slowed and thumped loudly in his throat, even when his ears filled with cotton and static, even when his vision went white and curling burning at the edges, or even when something sinister and foul skittered in his veins. Aventus became rooted to the spot while his soul crawled up his throat and threatened to break from the cage of his mouth.
