“My King! My Queen! A thief is nigh!”Though the long day was nearing an end; a point at which many within the Edge begin to bed down as the Lady Moon took over from the Fiery Sun, the bellowed words did not find the Elephant King bedding or nesting. No, the gargantuan stallion was slowly picking his way along the glass riddled border. It had become somewhat of a ritual for the Elephant King. Starting with when Rexanna had promised to come live with him. And now… now it was just a time to slowly numb his mind as he patrolled the Edge’s edge in the twilight and into late evening. Eventually (hopefully) sleep would find him. But, until then, he would rather look for danger around him than succumb to the darkness that loomed in the back of his mind.
So it was with backward relief that he heard the cry that stripped away any impending thoughts of inadequate paternity. A brisk trot thundered into the earth, shaking the dusk’s calm. His massive strides made short work of the distance, bringing him to the source of the frantic call just as the last steaks of light began to fade from he brightly painted sky. “Tilney?” The panicked call had morphed the man’s voice so that the King hadn’t even recognized it, “Tilney, my friend, calm yourself. What thief?” His black brows raised in concern as his heavy skull dropped so that his navy eyes could peer evenly into the Moon Doctor’s verdant, teary gaze.
What had his usually cheerful and happy Doctor so thrown and agitated? Mbwene, having fallen behind her bonded’s brisk trot, trundled onto the scene. Her bright blue eyes immediately found Tilney’s tears, and the small matriarch trilled softly, shuffling up to the frenetic man.
