Altar of Twilight dizzy miss lizzie

✴        Fresh bruises had begun to appear on the boy's sides from where the stranger had bludgeoned at him with his paws, but he wore them like badges of honor. In the coming days the color of his skin would change but it was all hidden beneath the silver scale armor of his pelt. But he could feel them. They stung if he moved a certain way, although the reminder of his wrestling with the shadow only lifted his spirits.

He'd returned to the mountain that night and slept within the confines of his family's claim. When the dawn broke he was up and roaming, slightly sleep deprived but far more curious of the world off the mountainside. This time he headed south, to where the mountains dipped in to a pit of low hills and tall grasses. It was here that he spotted the shape of a living boulder lumbering about.

Curious and unafraid, Revui clambored his way down the rise and began lurching through the reeds, as if he could sneak up on the large thing. He had not seen a bear before and so he would not know to compare this massive thing to one, but he did compare them to his sisters and was in awe of the creature's size; they were larger than anyone or anything he'd ever met.
