Nocturne Summit chateau lobby #4

[table width=80%][tr][td]

With his head low the young wanderer slithered his way to the carcass before it was too late. It wasn't every day that one could have the pleasure of eating a free meal, and this one was fresh enough for Pyro to enjoy. He tore out small chunks of meat as he looked around cautiously in case someone else became aware of his discovery. And it was for a good reason... The summit was dark and enclosed, a place that Pyro would have avoided if he knew what he was going to find, but he was just a rookie in his trade and the signs he should have seen slipped past him in his innocent hike. What a grave mistake.

Not two minutes passed before a distant noise broke the deafening silence, prompting Pyro to raise his head and perk his ears skittishly. Someone else was approaching, and as soon as Pyro confirmed it he retreated from the carcass and sought refuge behind the nearest bushes he could find. He flung himself at them, making a whole lotta noise in the process and landing right against some real pointy branches that hurt the tender skin on his belly. He wanted to sob, but he stayed as still as he could so that the others did not notice his presence. All he could do now was hope that he had not been spotted.
