Vaan used his sword to cut open the belly of the dead hyena beast and retrieve any loot that might be inside.
He and Penelo were supposed to be powering up the sunstone by using the large glowing towers that were scattered throughout the Giza Plains, but he had gotten side tracked. One of the boys of the village had hurt his leg while getting too close to the Werewolves that guarded the now closed path to the Ozmone Plains, and Vaan, ever the impetuous hero, decided he would personally take revenge on the creature for the attack on the small boy.
Of course tangling with the creatures was stupid, and after being knocked clean out several times (Penelo having to run him back to the town or the magically healing crystal nearby) he had decided that the reason he was having so much trouble was one of two reasons: either they needed better equipment, or he needed more experience. So the duo had begun their epic quest to decimate the Hyena population.
"What did you find" she asked interested.
She wasn't interested enough to step forward and catch a glimpse of the guts and blood of the creature, but she was interested nonetheless.
"Huh, it's a cotton cap" Vaan told her.
"A cotton cap?" Penelo asked puzzled "Why does it have a cotton cap?"
"I don't know" Vaan told her "It ate it maybe? But this is the third one I've found so it makes you wonder . . . ."
My brother was apparently trolling my account on here...(how embarrassing for me with all my stories...lol) and reminded me that he had written this and the next chapter and I had not yet posted them. So, here you go! Two chapters for the price of one!
Why do the wolves have cotton caps? And why do they not have hairballs from them?
