It was early morning and the dark Lykoi had rousted himself for a quick bath in the nearby stream. He was sleepy, contemplative, as he ran the icy water through his now nearly black mane. It had been some time since he had had the time to dye it crimson, and it was so long now it begged to be trimmed. He looked quite feral in that moment, bent over the stream. Finally when he was finished he stood, and turned around to look at Yegua, who was standing silently behind him, watching. She began muttering then, softly in that low rumble that only a horse could do, and he cocked an ear at her, it seemed that a familiar scent had come to her on the wind and she pawed the ground anxiously. He walked over to her and patted her on the neck affectionately before mounting, Show me. He said, for he could not smell anything as she did.
Yegua took them swiftly over the cold, wet, dead grasses of Inferni. The clouds threatened rain, and it was still desperately cold, but at least there was no snow. Yegua made a beeline towards the borders, and it was not until they were much nearer that Helotes’ nose noticed a scent. It was unfamiliar, yet familiar all at the same time and it confused him greatly. Soon, through the light fog, the visage of a child came to his view. Yegua slowed down, and threw her head back to whinny out excitedly in low speech that it was she that Yegua had scented. Helotes dismounted and slowly walked towards the young girl.
She seemed so familiar to him yet surely he had never seen her before; it was a very young female coyote, maybe a yearling, her female form just budding under ruddy brown fur. Her brown mane looked chopped, and she smelled distinctly of Anathema, What business have you at the Inferni borders? This was intended to sound harsh but instead it came out in merely a whisper.
