The winds were at their worst this night; evident in the howls and cries, the ruthless raging howls, and the sharp slashes that whipped about the slender, rigid figure. As barely audible steps carried the willowy form forward, as scarcely perceptible words were whispered in hopes of calling back to her the exceedingly familiar being that journeyed ahead. Cobalt gaze scanned, with little interest, the thick wooded surroundings; scanned broken areas, broken soil, and broken, lost souls. Pursed lips curled sinfully as a gust lifted off the cracked earth, as a creature -no more than a foot and a half in height- appeared as though from the dust itself, and halted before her.
Its tail, glowing with hunger, flicked once, twice, a third time before the unfamiliar slowly and purposefully crept Its way towards the awaiting figure.

“Hm?” Scarcely exceeded above a whisper as clawed fingers curled around her slim ankles, then gradually trailed up towards her pallid knees as her dull gaze lowered to It. The miniature beast, with little effort, climbed up her slight frame and made Its way to Its favored spot; her thin left shoulder. There, eyes glowing a dull yet beautiful crimson, the creature slanted Its abnormally large skull against hers, flicked Its peculiarly outsized ears, and hummed a painful tune.
As It whined in a tongue only she could comprehend, as Its claws dug eagerly into her bony shoulder, her nostrils flared to drink in the vigorous winds, to breathe in her monster’s wishes for souls and death, to understand, and fully comprehend what new individuals caused such a juristic change in the only world she has known.

Moving forward in no such hurry, a smile curved pale lips, as lids lowered on a now haunted gaze; steps moved further as though by memory.

“Patience. Soon, we too shall glimpse the unknowns.”
