TAKE ME INSIDE YOUR SOUL & MAKE IT WEEP FOR ME

They are all so small; so insignificant to the rest of the world. Their ears do not even prick up to their full extent just yet. Mother does not stir very often and she typically smells of blood. The gray-hooded child does not understand why it is that Achlys cannot leave the darkness of the den with them but it must have to do with the way that she smells.

More often than not, the girl would not venture from the burrow with her brothers simply for the fact that she desires only to reside by her ailing creator. She seeks understanding for her weakness and keeps herself in the dark along her side. Every few hours a meal is brought to Achlys and is lain outside the den where she will rise to drag it deeper, unsettling her daughter momentarily before easing back down so that the child can nestle into her belly once more.

This day was quite different, though, as Nemesis is buried so comfortably into the beautifully dark fur of her mother. She sleeps so soundlessly that one may think her to be dead if it were not for her small twitches and kicks every now and then. The young girl was born with stygian visions as she slept and no meaning could be gleaned from such dreams just yet; but some day she would. For now she is content with her meaningless, dark fantasies though disturbed as they may be.

Sounds, such loud sounds awaken her from her nightmarish world as she writhes in an irritable manner against her mother’s belly. Deep violet eyes open to the dim-lit warren as she gains consciousness of her surroundings. A deeply feminine voice rings within the walls that surround her and she soon makes her way toward the light and the movement that has troubled her. She squints against the brightness of the day before clarity comes to her vision and she sees before her two of her brothers and a large female standing so dominantly over them. Nemesis is not certain what exactly is going on but she curious of this stranger and so she sits in a poised manner at the mouth of the den, staring with expressionless eyes up at the female without a single blink.
