Grusha & Tae If you throw us to the wolves, we'll come back leading the pack
Tae liked the way the scales of the lizard glistened. With furred creatures, she found that their thick and fatty skin covered the sleek lines of their bones - but with lizards and things, she could easily see where bones connected to their skeleton, where muscles stretched, and where tendons fused. As the wolves came trotting over, Tae met them with equal curiosity. Her dark ears perked forward, and she lowered her mandible-lined jaw to their level. Their fuzzy bodies pressed against her muzzle and legs, and the small filly felt the same want as her sister did. She and Grusha would always be together - her Seestra would forever be in the forefront of her thoughts - but that didn't mean that their pack was exclusive. The girls were made for adventure, mystery, and an unabashed fearlessness. Were these fuzzy bodies before them, not built for precisely the same purpose? Before Tae could reiterate these comments to her larger twin, the sound of magic exploded through the glade. Tae's head rose, intrigue twisting her dark features. As the mother wolf moved, indicating that they ought to move to the cave, Tae hesitated. Why would she run? She didn't know fear, and the sound of magic was not a likely candidate to stir that emotion inside of her. After all, their parents possessed magic that sparked and burned across their bodies, and their abilities exceeded anything the small girl could have ever imagined; so much so, that their abilities, albiet in strikingly different manifestations, had been passed on to the twins. But, her instincts told her that the wolf-mother was no coward. She didn't seem the type to simply run away without good reason. Casting a look over her shoulder to catch Grusha's gaze, the smaller twin shrugged her shoulders. She picked up a wolf pup in her mouth, as she had seen the mother do, and trotted casually towards the cave. As she reached the mouth, her head tilted in silent contemplation. She knew that she could fit, but she wondered about Grusha. Already her golden twin was larger than she. Tae knew without even having to consider it, that she would not enter the cave if Grusha could not. Dropping the wolf (who scooted immediately into the cave), Tae waited for her twin to try and fit through the opening. She'd shove her through, if that's what was required. |
