Whatever illusions the boy harbored of being ferocious were soon shattered as a terrifying face appeared suddenly in the bronzed mirror, dagger-like teeth showing against a warped and wrinkled monster face. The deep growl behind him made the boy squeal and leap forward, knocking the disc to the side with a clatter before he whirled around, fur puffed up and tail curled over his back. He had fallen into a clumsy defensive stance, ears low and eyes huge as he stared at the tawny secui coywolf before realizing that she’d tricked him.
“Meanface,” Skoll muttered under his breath, giving his golden coat a shake. He hadn’t been scared out of his wits, but he definitely hadn’t been expecting that and was badly startled. He tried to make his fur flatten before it started bristling again—this time with excitement as he saw the tunnel that Terra had discovered. Quickly, he bounded after her on clumsy white paws.
Hopping over a crack in the ground, he peered at the curtain falling across part of the tunnel. Too excited to pay any attention to the images on the walls, he ran over to the torn cloth and grabbed the end in his sharp puppy teeth. With a high-pitched growl, he tugged a few times before the curtain came down—draping over him. The outline of his snout could be seen as he pushed against the fabric, wiggling around and trying to find his way out of the tent.
