Nitidus ignored the conversations behind her. Perhaps the strange shadowy being she glimpsed could get her out of here. If only she could question it. It's howl seemed dangerous, and she didn't see it's features. Nitidus wondered if it could even speak at all. The blue wolf decided there was nothing more she could learn about it until next time it would come, if it would come again.
Aspen leans over to a tree to breath out. Foxtrot attempts to nudge her further, blood puddles were nearby along with fresh skulls, it seemed dangerous here, but the ginger wolf was met by an emerald glare which forced her away. Aspen flexed her claws, before heading forward. Foxtrot checked if her lunula was okay before following.
Perhaps there was an end to this world, was it like Earth? It had the same shapes as Earth, but it was different. This world seemed like a shadow of the real world. Nitidus looked up searchingly, the sky was just a gray, like everything else. There were no exits in sight, she still had a feeling the creature knew something.
Foxtrot sighed. Why was she considered so.. stupid? Nobody seemed to believe, mostly these two idiots. She glared at Aspen and Nitidus, observing Griseo. This one seems to not even care about anything. Foxtrot felt like the only sane one, while the others felt a full opposite.
Aspen's sparkling emerald eyes drop down hopelessly. She stumbled on a fresh-ripped out wolf skull, and a blood trail seemed to lead somewhere in the deep, gray woods.
"Hey.. Here!"
The darkened liquid looked like it was just spilt from a poor body. Aspen carefully smelled it, frowning.
"What did you find?" Nitidus asked, padding over and sniffing the blood suspiciously. Her eyes followed the track the red blood made, disappearing into the woods. Nitidus got a small smile which quickly went away, "Hey ginger wolf! Since you're so knowledgeable about this place, why don't you follow this blood trail and tell us what it leads to?" She doubted it was anything dangerous, but better safe than sorry. She knew Foxtrot would be hard-pressed to refuse.
Foxtrot shuffled her paws and her golden eyes dropped down on the skull, the glance slowly and dreadfully following the fresh trail of red liquid. She licks her shining lunula, walking off to follow the blood. Nearly a minute later, Aspen shook her fur and went to the same direction, the ginger one should've come out by now. Both haven't returned after a long time, mist quietly, hopelessly covered the emptied forest.
Nitidus was suspiciously peering into the mist. Yeah, she wasn't going in there. Nitidus sighs, frustrated. At least she had gotten rid of Foxtrot it seemed. Aspen had seemed like a capable wolf, but no matter. The blue wolf thought as she considered her next move. Though there was no day or night in the colorless landscape, Nitidus started to feel tired from the day's activities, lying down for a short rest.
Foxtrot shivered slightly. Her golden gaze dropped on the bleeding scattered bones, with fresh marrow. Quite unappetizing. Her black, white-tipped paws padded on into the gray forest dwelling. After a few minutes after disappearing, a faint call was heard.
"It's fine! Except.."
The last words weren't heard. Aspen shook her fur, coming after Foxtrot out of curiosity to see what laid here. Both still haven't returned.
Nitidus walked away from the he forest, bored. She cracked open a bone lying around, licking out the marrow hungrily. There was so little food around here. Ah well, bone marrow tasted good anyway. The blue wolf left Griseo looking forest while she tried to go around the forest to see how big it was. After about 30 minutes, she came back to the starting point. Strange. It seemed like a small grove, how were those two wolves still in it?
Aspen came out, dragging Foxtrot by the scruff. They smelled carrion, covered in blood but not of their own. Foxtrot's golden eyes were still, she looked shocked. Aspen threw her down.
"Saw a corpse. Fresh. Got confused. And all..."
The words were addressed to the ginger female. Aspen's hazel eyes rolled, what was so scary here?
