I've decided to participate in @thepromptfoundry's OC-tober this year! I probably won't write everyday but I will try my best :)
Day 1: Getting up in the morning
The sound of Graves walking down the bunker hallway is becoming more familiar to Mariposa.
Her new wolf ears, a result of her recent inheritance, act as her inner alarm clock; they never fail to wake her up in her new home, Burrow Enclosure #81799, a place where she's learning to adapt to her new gifts.
âHis keys are singing to meâŚâ she somnolently exclaims after letting out a huge yawn.
Mariposa rolls over in bed. Her eyes are heavy and start to flicker shut. The last thing she sees is her sun chaser deity, Skoll.
She doesnât understand why she had to inherit Skoll.
Mariposa knows the deity wonât appreciate her animal skull collection and mini shrine to Fenrir.
The enclosure starts to get increasingly hotter. Mariposa starts to pick up the sound of the crackling of fire?
âOH MY LORD!â Mariposa shrieked, her voice trembling with fear. Skollâs flames are engulfing her field of vision, casting a terrifying glow.
Mariposa is glued to the wall. She canât seem to take her gaze off the beautiful brown wolf.
A loud click of the enclosureâs lock pulls Mariposa back to reality. She has a couple of seconds to gather herself. Today has to be a good day!
Graves hears a thump behind the door before it slides open.
He looked down to see Mariposa on her knees with both hands behind her back. She beamed and said, âGood morning, Lord!â
