Helotes had a special and rare job to do today. He had three freshly cleaned and boiled wolf skulls, all expertly painted by his children and himself. They were silly looking things, almost as if they were grinning in their after-life, especially the one with the flower Azucena painted onto it. His daughter had not wanted to come to the borders, but Basilio was more than happy to accompany his dead to hang up the skulls. Helotes’ son was getting stronger and more head strong by the day, not impeded in the least bit by his small frame. Helotes saw a low of Zana in him, and that made him both miss her and proud.
The trip to the borders was a fun and a game in itself, and Helotes and his son chased each other playfully all the way there, Basilio constantly getting underfoot and nearly tripping the grown man several times. Finally, Helotes gave him the task of carrying the smallest of the skulls, and Basilio gladly lifted his head as high as possible to carry it.
Once they began nearly the borders however, an unknown canine smell came to the Hydra’s nose and he slowed, Basilio, reduzca la velocidad durante un minuto. Helotes said quietly as they came up on two outsiders near the border. His son gave him a look that said he was not afraid and Helotes gave him a grin before coming up upon the two. They did not seem to be doing anything more suspicious then inspecting the skulls, something that many outsiders did. Plus, the female was young and becoming and there was something almost familiar about her, but Helotes made sure to stand tall with tail stiff, What is your business at Inferni’s borders? He asked nonchalantly yet authoritatively. The two of them were coyotes, if not a little mixed with other things, so Helotes wasn’t immediately as concerned about them as he would have had they been wolves.
