The Tundra
UPON THE DRIFTS
Snow whirls around you, the blizzard of the stone drifts behind you, and you can see the storm calming. You trudge on, at least not feeling as cold as before. The thinning walls of snow part in front of you to reveal.....EEK!
A creature of bright colors over icy tones is staring right at you, standing right in your path! It seems harmless enough, though, and you are not frightened so much as surprised. I walks forward, sniffing at you tenatively, leaving large footprints in the shallow snow of the path. Reaching old, you touch its soft fur and seek the warmth of the downy inner layers with you chilled fingers. It lets you stroke it, muzzling at you jacket with a large, wet nose, smelling you and wuffling lightly. In your petting, you come across a golden rope it wears about its neck and follow the rope until you come up with a small nameplate.....
'Visorenis Canias'
.....it reads in thickly carved, faciful print. Below that it a smaller line...a rather oddly long translation, it seems.....
'(Latin) Power Of The Dawning Of The Dog-Star.'
.....What an odd name for such a little, seemingly harmless creature.
After a bit, the creature has had its fill of identifying you and scampers off over the dune, remaining forever a mystery, as it warbles a farewell call that nearly blends into the howling of the winds.....
Name: Visorenis Canias Shortened: Visor', Vis Meaning: (Latin) Power Of The Dawning Of The Dog-Star Age: Adult Gender: Female Species: Canid Type: Unknown Dame: Wild Sire: Wild Origin: Sirah's Realm |
Across the snow banks lays more of the lumpy, snow drifted land of the Tundra's Snow Flats. You could move onward to a another icy realm, or head back toward the ice and stone obolisks with their odd and dangerous watchers...
