Ruieze Fields

Open fields and soft grass...
Ruieze stretches far in the midlands of Moladion, laced with streams that feed into Diveen and out of Asteraia at times. The fields are vast, filled with wildflowers and tall, soft grass; trees are sparse, as are rocks, but one can find small shrubs to hide amongst, and the grass itself. To the south of the fields, a Ruieze River widens, and the ground becomes sandy. There is a small, grassy island that can be reached from the banks, with water-birds often congregating on the island rather than the riverbanks.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god. Did this psycho wolf just drop me a glare?!

She did, she totally did. It lasted for like half a second but I still saw it. I freeze, water lapping at my knees, one paw lifted where I’d been about to take a step. This is a bad idea. I should have swum away, or… or run away, or… or…sprouted wings and flown away. Anything to get away from the woman who promises not to eat me as long as I play with her!

Okay. Deep breaths, Lefty. You can do this.

I slowly extract myself fully from the water, violent shivers wracking my small body the further up onto semi-solid land I’m able to drag myself. The psycho wolf repeats my name in a way which makes it sound like someone’s just joyfully swung round a tight corner. Left – wheee! There’s a pause and then I think she’s making the ‘ee’ sound again (maybe she likes it??) before adding a random ‘to’ on the end. Leftyto? Lefty’s toes? I blink several times in quick succession while she giggles, not getting it. How am I supposed to decipher this weird woman’s brain? I run it through my head again a few times, squinting while the wheels turn in my brain. Lefty-to, Lefty-y-to, Lefty…

Eto. Oh.

I knew that.

She leaps towards me, baring her super sharp teeth. I do what any reasonable person would do in this situation and fall back on my bum, squeaking like my Uncle Kacey the time mum caught him with a lady who wasn’t Auntie Myla. I lower myself as far down as I can to the ground with her this close, at least trying to get below her so that I appear submissive (as if I haven’t already done that). We’re the same, sure. We’re the same in the same way a cat is the same as a mouse. Totally the same.

“Um, sure.” Ugh, my voice is pitched higher than a baseball. I cough, pretending I have something in my throat, and then try to lower it and throw some gravel in so I sound more manly. The result makes me sound like a puppy trying to voice-act a lion. “What do you want to play?”
