A reluctant partnership

Sah

Sah cursed under his breath as he eyed the expanse in front of him. Lilly paced beside him, sniffing the air as her ears flicked back and forth. The pair had taken a different path than normal when crossing through the Feverlands today, and it seemed that they were paying the price.

The Abandoned considering regretting the deviation from habit, but they'd changed paths so as not to disturb a mother bear and her cubs. He couldn't really regret that after all. Who was he to disturb a small family while they foraged? But now he and Lilly needed to come up with a plan. If they doubled back to go around the pits, they'd be home late. And Sah really didn't' want to worry the twins or Cordelia.

"Let's see what we can find, Lilly. Maybe there's a way through." Sah scanned the area around them for anything he could use. Grabbing a long, fallen branch, he prodded the earth around them. Sure enough, beneath the visible leaves laid more tar. "Fucking hell."

It was times like these that Sah really envied Deimos' earth magic. He could have just made a path to walk across. Alas, Sah would have to come up with something else.

I think there for I am,
But what if all I do is bleed?
