I don't think I will be able to finish this short story for Halloween, but hear is a small teaser and I'm really trying to finish... but time and work is holding me down... -
"Can you look around?" Crim asked with almost a hurried expression.
Nox shrugged as wings started to pull away from his face and a quarter
of his head turned into four winged creatures and flew into the air.
After a few moments, and they disappeared into the dark, Nox closed his
remaining eye and said, "Village nearby, like an hour or two away. And
a nice looking river even closer. Hey! I see Gia picking some nuts or
something... "
"Any ghouls?" Crim interrupted.
"Looks surprising clear. Been a while since that's happened."
"Good." And with that said, Crim leaned near a tree and collapsed to the ground.
Nox, with a sudden realization and a pain of fear, rushed over to
his fallen brother. "Crim! What's wrong? You feeling the urge, you
injured, or what?'
Crim looked at his brother with tired eyes. "I'm tired."
Nox gave a puzzled expression. "Oh... that's unusual for you. You
spent a whole week once carrying the coffin with me in it, fighting ghouls, and
you didn't even break a sweat. It's just been a day since we last rest, so what's different?"
"Hey guys!" , came the sound of a familiar female voice from behind Nox.
Crim looked at Nox with a straight face. "That's what's different."
Gia appeared from the bushed with a smile. "Hey Nox, you want
some... " she started to say, but gave out a scream when she saw that
the upper left side of Nox's head was gone.
"What?! Oh...
sorry." Nox gave a quick whistle as wings came down from the sky and
landed on his head, folding and morphing back into Nox's face, until his
head was full again.
"I swear I will never get use to seeing that." she said.
"You'll be surprised." Crim responded.
- Later
