Tae nodded decisively. She hadn't heard anything of the monster since she and Grusha had last encountered it. Surely if someone else had killed it, they would have heard? Felling a monster was no small feat and helovians loved to brag...No, the mandible marked filly was confident that the monster was still alive and well, lurking out there somewhere, just waiting for them.
"He is probably just licking his wounds and waiting to retaliate." A grin parted Tae's dark lips. "And we will be ready, won't we seestra? Ready to rid the world of him and to put his bones to good use. A small ear flicked and Tae considered her twin's question. "Well, they don't call it the Hidden Falls for nothing. If it is here, we'll find it."
Tae looked ahead, barking mental orders to the two black canines ahead. You two keep a look out. We are not here for rodents or birds, we are here for bones. Tae paused thoughtfully, tossing a glance over her shoulder to her twin with a sly wolfish smile. Or monster bait . Mal and Hel growled in response, lowering their noses to the ground and proceeding forward diligently.
Tae's pale eyes scoured the landscape. She locked onto a deer path that looked seldom used and her grin widened. "This way seestra. Let us see what lays in the heart of the Hidden Falls."
The brush was thick, but Tae's sleek body pressed through the branches that tried to hold her back easily. Mal and Hel raced ahead, noses down, sniffing intently for signs that bones might be buried near by. Eventually, the path widened slightly, and, as they continued down it, it widened more, breaking into a small clearing. Tae halted, her body breaking into ghostly smoke for a moment as her eyes narrowed, surveying the area.
"Do you see anyone?" She whispered, both to her companions as well as to her twin. Across the field was a hut made of stone with a pool of water in a trench out front. Other than that, the area appeared to be well-used, but currently vacant.
