Morgra
nodded and a cold shiver ran down her spine. She shook her damp pelt
quietly. Inferno was actually rather warm. It made her shrug closer
to his body. The winter was killing her slowly too.
"Wolfbane
must surely hate us. But winter is at its middle. We must gather our
food and store it.
She tilted her head towards Inferno "So
how did you get your scars?"
He
grinned at Morgra; a light smile gracing his face. He placed his paw
on her shoulder and looked up at the stars.Yes.
We must gather it before it goes away..His
audicals pricked up and he became slightly tense. But he answered all
the same as he didn't mind being honest.I
was born with some of them, but a wolf gave me this one.He
pointed to the scar on his face.And
a human gave me this one.He
ran his paw down his side, where the long deep scar slit down it.I
was a warrior wolf also, so my father made this mark on my cheek. He
had to make it deep, to show I was leader. The deeper your mark, the
more high in the pack you are.He
pointed at the curved ring that spun around in a swirl on his left
cheek.I
guess I look pretty messed up, huh? An Outcast...He
sighed and looked at Morgra, the pain washing away from him as he
looked into her eyes. Morgra's interest to his scars was derelict.
And she thought that sometimes to survive you must fight. As Morgra
looked into his pupils she felt cynical. And her body poised just a
little closer. And she shivered when his paw was placed on her
shoulder. Morgra was usually a torment. Hurting that close by, or
threatening them. But something about Inferno made her feel like she
was home. Though, she never really did have a home. And she was glad
that he kept her warm. As they both stared up to the skies a shooting
star swam through the midnight. Morgra sighed. And turned back to
Inferno.
"I
don't think you're an outcast. I've seen strange wolves with
wings nowadays. Yet, this scar,"She
said waving her maw in the air.
"My
sister gave this to me."
Morgra
said no more after that, but continued to gaze at the wonder. He
followed her gaze to the star that had so elegantly swished past, and
smiled. He'd never seen a shooting star in his whole life. He felt
comforted with Morgra. Others treated him dimly, but Morgra and he
were like twins. They were both scarred, and they'd both learned
things the hard way. His gaze drew back to her as he studied her
slender maw and her visionaries as they stayed set on the sky's
wonder. He watches them as their beauty pierced him. He grinned once
again his crooked little smile, glad he and Morgra had many things in
common, but even happier that something about her always left him
dangling.
"Yeah......we're
pretty much alike. Not many differences between us..."He
dipped his head to the side, watching the scar on her maw.
"I
suppose we have lots alike then." He pointed to the unseen side of
his maw, and a deep jagged, scar singed against his muzzle. "I did
this to myself..." The
stars above were reminiscing. It dazzled her completely. But as
Inferno spoke his intuition her eyes smouldered and she turned her
gaze away from the heavens and deeply into his mind.
"How
could you? Inferno, how could you be so poised? Tell me dear friend.
Why"
Morgra
was surely concerned by this matter of fact. But her anger was held
back. A historical glint in his eyes told Morgra that the atmosphere
was fine. Fine indeed. No rustle in the leaves. No breeze in the air.
No disturbing smells or sounds. Though it was as if the moon was
singing to us. Morgra continued to stare at his eyes, then she tilted
her head to look at his mirror reflection scar to hers.
