The sun was setting and burning the sky with familiar calming colors that began to reappear earlier each day while, in exchange, the nights became longer. A desire for Orangemoon's return ached in the bond you share with the fox; neither of you wanted the sweet summer nights to end, yet your infatuation for the chilly season grew stronger by the year. Ouija trotted eagerly along your left side, keeping pace while you wandered the edge of the island, ears flipping back and forth above your empty eyes while you took one last lap before the moon filled the sky. Ouija yipped behind you, her black padded toes dancing on the hard sand while she tried to direct your attention to a familiar figure in the distance.

Your jaws tightened, glossy eyes briefly casting down on the cub just before you could adjust and face the woman in the distance. Large maroon nostrils flared, the dry air and salty ocean water diluting the earthy fragrance that floated off of the woman you've grown to know over the years. We whisper her name, but you keep us barred back in our cage while your still young hormones pump through your veins; Alysanne. Needless to say, a bright smile spreads across your thin lips before a throaty nicker can fill the air, bicolored ears snapped forward while you called out to her.

Unattractive feet shuffle underneath you, the fox staying put while you prepare to be wrapped in fiery wings. Your steps stutter, narrow chest heaving before the uncomfortable twist in your stomach begins; this will only have been the third time you've used the magic bridge. Yellowed teeth grit between strong jaws and you step forward, the key dangling on your chest glinting in the remaining sunlight before wings of fire ignite on either side of your slender shoulders. Immediately they carry you, the awkward lack of control making it hard for you to breath and even harder for your muscles to know just what to do. Your legs pump in the air, empty, dry frogs scooping frantically to gain more ground but staying at the same steady pace. It feels like ten minutes before you finally reach the edge even though it only took a matter of a few seconds, and the false appendages flap once more before fizzling into small sparks that disappear without a trace of smoke.

An embarrassed laugh rattles your throat. "H-hey Aly. Hemlock." Rummy snout reaches out toward her own gently, cloudy eyes watching the dancing emeralds as you try to meet her touch. Maybe it was faith that always brought the two of you together, but we know that it is more likely some bizarre coincidence. Regardless of why or how, you want to melt as soon as you're with the painted goddess. All the while, you try to avoid direct eye contact with the owl, a strange fear streaking through your limbs like a teen boy's first meet and greet with the girlfriend's father and his loaded shotgun that sat conveniently in the corner of the room.

"Voodoo." 'Ouija.' 'Voices.'
