Not Afraid

But Element wasn't.

He stared out into the plains where the vicious band of coyotes dwelled - and where he had last scented the sweet scent of Flower, as well as seen a splatter of her blood. It had been a long time ago since he had last seen her, and he had searched the areas already - and if Flower was really there, she would have come. She would have come when he called to her. Yes, Element knew deep down that Flower was dead.

But that never stopped him from hoping.

He'd dwelled in the 'Souls areas where the wolves and other canines were more common. He'd met some of them - and they didn't seem too unfriendly. They underestimated his intelligence, they treated him as a mere pet at first glance, but not many of them were too vicious or threatening at first glance. Perhaps Flower had strayed here on accident, and cut herself on something. Perhaps she got lost, and was still wandering? The possibility was almost impossible, but Element had to cling to the hopes.

He didn't know exactly why he was here. He glanced back, and, in the distance, he saw the spikes with the skulls of wolves embedded on their surface. It was disgusting. He couldn't believe...but he had to hope. Hope, right now, was all he had, and now that he was in the Inferni territory, now that he listened to that impossible urge to go forth and look for Flower one last time, he couldn't turn back now.

No, Element would look.

For Element was not afraid.

He wandered deeper into the territory, emerald hues scanning the area. "Flower," he called softly, his voice quiet. He strengthened it in his next call. "Flower?" This call carried across the empty plains and through the territory. Element began to pad further into the Inferni territory, where either his dream or his nightmare lay waiting.
