Skoll padded along on his hind legs, toppling often but with style. His ears perked as she mentioned the metal beasts, and his eyes grew like twin green suns as she mentioned that the humans controlled them with their minds. He tried to imagine commanding his ball with his mind to make it roll where he wanted it to, and he smiled giddily, tongue lolling from his jaws. Maybe there was something to this human dominance thing—maybe.
He dropped onto all fours after a while, watching Terra leap atop a log and sit down on it. He cocked his head at the fallen tree before registering its place in this game of pretend, and he quickly hopped up behind her. “We shall,” the blonde boy said in his best mature voice, and he screwed his nose up, staring at the log and trying to get it to move with his mind. Did it work if it wasn’t metal? “The beasts ’unt fer ’oomans?” he wondered aloud.
He watched her straighten again, and he tried to copy her before falling off the log with a yelp. Shaking the grass from his fur, he looked at her wonderingly. That was right—the humans disappeared, the fierce predators that wolves supposedly cowered before. He scoffed.
“Why dis’pear, Terra? Their beasts protect them. Did wolves eat ’em?”
Now that was a theory Skoll liked.
