Hey, everyone! Just thought I'd put out there that there is a lot of original content in here, which does belong to me, but Merlin and Arthur and all those lovely people as portrayed by BBC... do not. Belong to me, I mean. They don't. Sadly. On to the story!
Her ears twitched slightly as the faint scream and hiss of burning bark reached her, a grimace marring her face as her flattened nose wrinkled with the smell of smoked wood enveloping the clearing. She glanced around, her eyes narrowed slightly against the offensive smoke to look to her brethren, sitting around the throne of the Horned One. All wore similar faces to hers, their expressions a mix of anger, pain, horror and helplessness, all staring in the general direction from which the screaming could still be heard. The wiry muscles of her furred legs tensed along with her bare shoulders, seeming to prepare for a flight response to the slowly approaching devastation. One of her large cloven hooves made contact with the ground, pressing lightly, but enough that the crack of the sticks and the crunch of the leaves was deafening. She cowered under the sudden gaze of her many brothers, her long ears drooping in dismay at the sudden attention, her eyes staring almost sullenly at the forest floor. Another distant scream drew their attention away from her again, their ears perked attentively as they watched the surrounding trees with growing apprehension, their eyes tinged with fear. Her muscles bunched beneath her skin again as her respiration grew unsteady, her palms pressing more gently against the ground until a weighty hand rested itself soothingly upon her shoulder. Her head swiveled around to meet the golden gaze of the being behind her, a magnificent rack of antlers adorning his furred brow. Her breathing slowed slightly as she calmed beneath his eyes until she turned back to face the approaching flames, her heart still hammering hard in her chest as the fingers on her shoulder tightened minutely.
