Prompt Hellhound & Details:
You come across a small litter of pups whilst venturing through Melrakki. They are clearly not old enough to fend for themselves and unfortunately for them, they are being preyed on by a dangerous figure in the dark. Your hellish ways may not agree with you, but you can't leave them for dead. It's morally wrong. Depict your HelFel encountering the danger and providing safety for the litter. At least they will be saved this time around.
The soft pattering of rain echoed through the forest as Luminas ventured into its shadowy underbrush. Something nagged at him that day, an elusive unease that clung to his thoughts like mist. Was it the dreary weather? The incessant chirping of birds, now muted by the downpour? Or perhaps the stale morsel he had for breakfast, sitting heavily in his stomach?
Lost in contemplation, a sudden, small whine sliced through the haze, piercing the quiet. It sounded like a rabbit—but no, much more vulnerable. A child? Luminas swiveled his head toward an opening in the trees, where a scrap of leather lay half-buried in damp leaves. Narrowing his eyes, he noticed movement beneath it. As he approached, a startling sight revealed itself: two pups nested together, their contrasting coats a striking study. The smaller one bore a sleek cream hue, delicate and innocent, while the larger was a titan of a pup, its nubs of fangs protruding, a confirmation of it's hellhound lineage.
They appeared to be nearly the same age, yet they felt as though they belonged to different litters—bearing different scents each. A swirl of questions clouded Luminas's mind. How had they come to be here? What kind of mother or sick trickery had led them to this moment?
As he furrowed his brows and scanned the damp surroundings, the creeping sense of foreboding deepened. In this weather, such young pups would be utterly vulnerable to the elements, easy prey for whatever prowled the forest. Just then, shuffling sounds rustled ominously from the bushes ahead, and Luminas felt a surge of instinct; he wasn’t alone in this quiet hunt.
His heart raced as he realized that the forest had other occupants, shadows that lurked just out of sight. He had to take the pups somewhere safer... somewhere warmer..
