The Pack Mentality

Affine The Bored Watcher God

One the late winter, many voices cried out in unison in sorrow
"She did...sh-e really did it" one whispered
"NO NO no no no" another wailed repeatedly.
"..." and another couldn't bring them self to speak.
But one spoke impassively, no real care for those around it. "You found it, didn't you. Our happy ending? Funny I can say for all of us, we are never finished until we are all breathing or all dead."

Their eyes, though weary and tear filled, stared upon a lone stone statue. The statue's arm was outstretched, as if to take a person's, of a old friend? A lover? Maybe it's reaching to grab their hand. A soft smile adored it's face, matching wonderfully with the snow covered trees, calm and serene but also sad and heavy.

"Oi! Mr. 'all seeing eye' tell us how to fix this! this is not how it should end!" an old blue eyed bolf commanded the floating, four armed,one eyed, hellion who in return huffed. The hellion looked through all their minds from the human to the dark creeping shadow, they all wanted her back as did he.

"Alright, all of you gather around me in a circle and join hands. I have a favor to call in from a certain sleeping deity." He commanded and they obeyed as quick as the injured and or elderly could. A human, a bolf, two cervitaurs, a sphynx, a shadow or silhouette of the statue antlers and all, and a grinning beast. Though its smile seemed forced. they all either joined hands or attempted to do so.

" Ready when you are A' Seye," the bearded sphynx shouted more confident then he was before.
"Okay. After this you all will never be able to return home, this deity hates being woken up and will twist our wishes to give himself a brief sense of entertainment is that okay with everyone?" In response A' Seye got determined glances and short nods.

A' seye nods thinking to himself 'the beings on earths selfishness never cease to amaze me' and called out,
