tima eke spatium machina

With the mere opening of his eyes Calixte traveled eons away from a mysterious land into the woods known for dampness. Returning from the wildness of dreams to the humble reality before him was always a bittersweet relief, for he greatly loved the adventures of his sleeping mind. With a yawn, more like a sigh, he pushed himself to all fours and tinkered across the pine needles.

After relieving himself beneath an old man-pine tree's mighty swaying trunk he gave the tree a smile and a pat and strolled East. The shore could be reached within an hour if Calixte kept up pace, but with his attention easily and greatly distracted by the tiniest event he knew it could take days.

Suddenly and true to nature, Calixte was upon his belly staring in wonder at something on the ground. That something was a current of worker ants carrying pieces of food atop their tiny, glistening black wave. He sniffed them delicately so as not to disturb the order, and realized they were carrying adorable morsels of fetid meat. Okay, maybe not adorable, but definitely miniscule. He whispered, "Awww," once and then quieted down, resting with his head on his forepaws as he watched, wide-eyed, at the insects communal task.

Hello thar.


For once she was travelling in a form she figured was lesser than the two-legged optime where her movement was swift, secure and very deadly. But she was learning from mistakes, and today it was her lupus form that had carried her far away from the comforting borders where wolfen skulls grinned even in death. To most canines they meant danger, but they spoke of home to her, the powerful warrior with the exotic colours and cool heart.

It was rare for her to venture this far from the clan's territory, but perhaps there was a fear that she needed to be vanquished? While she was not as confident with her lupus form anymore, she remained deadly to those that were not prominent warriors of these lands. The lacking weight of her remaining twin sword was what made a difference, for she rarely ever walked outside the mansion without the pristine sword accompanying her. In a flawed life where betrayal had a clear, distinguished taste, the sharp metal had proven to be loyal through and through.

When her sensitive nose caught a stranger’s scent on the spring’s soothing breeze, she followed without thought, though approached with care and silence. Oversized ears in copper hues perked at the sound that seemed to escape the other. She was glad to discover features sharper and more pleasing to the eye than the lumpy, dull forms of canis lupus. She was unable to detect exact percent, but any form of coyote hybrid was preferred above wolves. She found no alliance on his fur either, and could feel herself relax slightly. ”Hmm?”

Red eyes turned to the insects he so eagerly watched, and the usual Halo-grimace came forth.
