Htar
a wandering soul





The rain fell in great torrents from the sky, catching on the leaves that the trees had not yet shed. Thunder rumbled in the distance, promising to illuminate the dark storm clouds with lightning.
Htar stumbled through the dense underbrush, seeking shelter from the unrelenting onslaught of water. The rain turned his thick mane into a heavy curtain that tangled in his antlers, stung his eyes and dripped into his nose. He paused to shake some of the water from his coat, but it seemed to cling like a second skin.
The rain was collecting in puddles covered in needles and leaves that hid the depth of the water beneath. Twice now he'd misjudged and his ivory belly and forelegs were now soiled with mud. Htar was not the vain sort, but he could feel incredibly uncomfortable sensation of the tiny particles dragging at the fine hairs on his chest.
His gaze fell upon a small outcropping of rock. There was an inlet that looked large enough to cover his bulk if he ducked his head.
But of course, the cave being the only shelter he'd seen for at least an hour, it was occupied. Birds could seek cover in whatever was left of the canopy, but the rabbits would have had to seek higher ground when their den had flooded.
There was a pair of soaked rabbits huddled back against the rock, cautiously watching his approach.
He hesitated at the mouth of the cave. He glanced back into the rain, but he was reluctant to go back out into it when there was plenty of room for all three of them.
"It's alright," he called, stepping inside. "I won't hurt you."
The rabbits only stared at him with their wide, blank eyes and scooted farther away from him.
Sighing, Htar arranged himself as far from them as he could get, and settled in to wait. How long could the storm last, anyway?
