“You are old, aren’t you.” No attempts at stealth were made. It was pointless. For the past number of weeks, Rengar had become the center of interest for this duo. He couldn’t hide, the veil of invisibility was pointless. They could SEE him, no matter where or how he hid. There was no hiding from the piercing gaze of the one with the bow, and no shutting his ears to the cackling of the ‘wolf’. “You aren’t man, or beast. But you are familiar." The Pridestalker rose his discolored gaze, "Why?"
“Old? OLD?” howls Wolf. His mouth stretches into a giddy sort of grin. “Was I ever young? Was I ever born? Was I ever dead? Haha! This is but a moment, a blink, a heartbeat – you, with your silly, stupid mind, you don’t realize it – you think this is an event, a place in a line, but the Kindred knows – the Kindred is all! The Kindred is everywhere and every when! It is one and the same! Would you like to see, hunter?”
And Wolf opens his maw, seems to unhinge is own jaw, else how could it yawn so wide? Wide enough that it becomes the ghastly entrance of a cave, empty and desolate and billowing with a hot, ominous wind that smells of rot and decay.
But the hunter does not stalk into this cave, and Wolf closes his mouth and licks his lips.
“Haha,” Wolf chuckles. “It is just as well. Your stupid head would not be able to understand the way the Kindred does.”
“I have been with you since your youth, Pridestalker,” Lamb appears from somewhere behind Wolf’s swirling body – a shock of white among the dark jungle. At her appearance, the land quiets. Where when Wolf made himself known, the creatures froze or scampered into their little holes, the leaves themselves freeze and the trunks themselves cease their groaning, as if fearing the touch of Lamb.
“Your people were FINE hunts, Pridestalker!” compliments Wolf. “Yes, very fine! I have always delighted in your tribe!”
And Wolf rushes forward, a sinister dark cloud, and presses his cheek against the jungle cat, widens his eyes and grins once more. Saliva escapes his teeth and splashes onto the dirt, making it hiss and sizzle, opening a small crater in the earth.
“And you! You are the last!” Wolf croons, pressing closer. “The last of all of them! Haha! What is it you stupid pups say – THE BEST FOR LAST, no?”
