Abyss sighed faintly. The two wolves she had seen on the mountain pass were but corpses of those who had succumbed to the sickness. She supposed that some were too weak to turn into the zombie-like beings that had haunted her Prospering land almost a year ago. She jumped faintly as lightning flashed across the sky above, and reflected in her eyes, giving that searing gaze of hers more depth.
She started heading for a hole in the side of the mountain, one where a fox had once lived from the looks of it, and poked her head into it to see if anything was still living in it.
The thunder rumbled through the forest, breaking the silence.
Yegor looked up towards the sky upon the flash of lighting, followed by the roll of thunder. "Sol, my friend, I'd rather you not be flying in this weather." He shouted ahead at the bird, who had disappeared somewhere into the forest.
