She was all but recovered from her ordeal, months of scavenging to feed both herself and her small dark son. The sky was awash with reds and oranges, pinks and hues of purple fading to the deepest blue as the sun sunk below the horizon, blending so well with the fiery foliage of autumn. The almost full moon began to make its assent as she continued about her duties, reinforcing the borders and making sure everything was safe for the children she had left behind. Large ears twitched as an unfamiliar rhythmic thud was followed with a foreign screech. Golden eyes roved the landscape, seeking the source of the alien sound. It was growing closer and her hackles stood on end. Her head swung upwards just in time to catch the dark shape as it swooped from the sky, sharp teeth catching in the fur at her shoulder, but not quite grazing the skin. The leathery wings were foreign to the former queen, but that would not still her rage as her own dagger-like teeth lashed out, catching the black furred body of the beast. It’s scream of rage could be heard for miles and with a satisfying crunch, the sound was quelled. The blood was bitter, and she spat the thing from her mouth with an irritated growl. She kicked dirt over the corpse, marking it well as she turned to head back to the den... but the sound repeated, in force. She turned in time to see the red sky darkening with a mass of flying rats, each leathery wing as wide as the next. They were blocking the rapidly falling sun and her blood froze. She tipped her head back to sound the alarm as she raced towards the den. She would have to make sure the children were in the den... Something about these creatures wasn’t quite right... |
