I AM SPINNING IN INFINITY

Ehiyeh continued to walk along the beach, lamenting the destruction. Though it was entirely irrational, she could not help the fear that this was caused by the darkness hidden inside of her-- the darkness that had likely infested her beachside den, that had turned the skies grey and green and caused the ocean to crash and roar. She shuddered against the cold breeze, still wet with the remnants of rain. The wildness of her pelt made her gaunt figure even more apparent, with her aptitude for hunting gone she had little reason to feed herself other than necessity. The days of the proud huntress had died along with the rose of her innocence. Another shudder, and she paused in her stride, hearing the telltale crunch of pawsteps upon the sand behind her.

She expected to turn and see the ghost of her brother or of her children, but instead she was greeted with a face she had never seen before. The scent was vaguely familiar and wholly of Glorall, though the red-marked young woman approaching her had an unsettling air. Ehiyeh supposed that they were all a bit unsettling here. Her words caused the gaunt woman to chuckle harshly and humorless, giving the other a bitter smile. "Perhaps." She replied simply, padding a bit closer as to make conversation a bit easier over the sounds of wind and rain and crashing waves. She had never been of a conversational sort, but even she could now see the benefits of knowing others. A relationship with her brother Elohim had never been paramount in her younger years, but now she did not see how she could have ever lived without his constancy.

"Did you see any corpses on your way here? A young girl with a mask of white? A male, colored as charcoal is?" It was almost a demand, as frenzied as she sounded. Though it seemed the storm had left everything but the landscape unscathed, she could not be sure that her darkness had not brought about the downfall of those she cared for.
