Horizon Ridge what's left of death is more than fear

Hope you don't mind me for the last few posts! :D

It was the sound of bickering voices that distracted Atreyu from his exploring. With a flick of his ear, he looked up from the rock he had overturned, curiousity alighting within his pale eyes. He wasn't able to exactly pinpoint where the voices were coming with only one working ear but the ocean breeze carried the faint scent of females from further up the trail. The boy lifted his nose and followed it, intrigued and wondering if he could watch the possible catfight from afar.

Unfortunately, when he came across the two strangers, one had already turned to leave, her white behind disappearing down the trail back into the forest. The other was left standing on her lonesome, a strangely lithe creature with a coat that looked like she had submerged her head in ink. Brows slightly furrowing in wonder, the Iota slowly emerged from the shadows, giving a soft laugh as he noted her challenging stance. "Well, you showed her," he said with an impish grin.
