Big Pig Trouble
@lycannalla
Riften forest. Midday. Autumn.
The ground colored red and yellow from fallen leaves. Sun shining pleasantly. Birds chirping. Deers treading.
"NOOOO! SNUFFLES!"
Birds taking off. Deers running.
In the midst of white birches jumped around an Argonian clad in a green tunic and trousers. Her magic staff bounced against her back. At her bare feet was a small and shallow pit dug into the ground, perhaps the leftovers from a hunter's trap.
Just big enough to trap a mid-sized swine inside. Only his ears poked out of the pit.
"Snuffsie!" wailed Punch. "My baby!"
Oh, how would she ever get him out of there! Lifting was an impossibility, he weighed far too much! (Far too much for a pig his size, one could argue.)
Snuffles sniffed at the wall his snout was bumping every now and then. He barely had space to turn around, but he seemed content enough.
