Flailing around underneath the curtain, it would only a matter of time before Skoll found one of the holes in the wall or the floor. Luckily, he only stumbled into the folds of the fabric before Terra grabbed it and pulled it off him. The fresh air striking his face renewed his vigor, and with a quick shake of his golden coat, he pranced after her in an excited high-step.

“Whoa, shiny!” the puppy managed to gasp as he peered around her dark-booted legs to see the altar and statue. He was about to sprint toward them and check them out when something completely different—and less shiny—grabbed his attention. His jaw dropped.

“Bones!” he pointed out loudly, in case Terra hadn’t already seen them. He rushed toward the kneeling thing, about to grab one of the thicker bones in his jaws and tug—but something stopped him. He had seen plenty of prey bones before, but this wasn’t anything like the rabbit leftovers or decomposing deer he’d seen on the outskirts of the woods before. Its shape was uncannily luperci, but it wasn’t that big, and there was something off about it.

“Terra, why his face all flat?” the child asked, his face growing more solemn as he looked over at the adult, leaving the skeleton undisturbed for now.
