Warning - does contain a post-death scene
Participate in the second Rock Hound Event here!
She wandered off into the night, while all the deer slept. Stopping close to the Blue Bowl, the stoat sensed something.
"More?", she asked herself, as she melted into the ground. The ground burst open, and the bones came out, covered in infection as Iugulare rested them on the ground. She left them and rubbed her chin.
"Will I...do this again?", she wondered.
She took a yellow glowing crystal from her body and placed it inside the skull. The eyes glowed yellow, the creature awoke and stood before his master, snarling and dripping of infection.
Thanks again to Eyestrain for this gorgeous artwork!
Iugulare smiled, and petted the skull of the old wolf skeleton.
Quad had rejected her advances for too long.
"Yes. Yes I will. If he won't be my mate, I'll make him and his Forest suffer until he does!", she raised her paws to the sky, and suddenly, all the bones arose. She practically had a bone pile here, and growing massive herself, she waded through the bones, infecting them all, making them sort themselves out and become her new Rock Hound army. She began to place crystals in their heads, and when it was all done, she waves her paw.
They collectively howled and ran off. Those far away figured Michael and Auriea were working on their Abiogenesis magic when they heard the howl.
Those close by...they didn't stand a chance.

"How? How did this happen?"
"Who could have done such a thing?"
"Mommy I'm scared!"
Quad arrived to the scene, finding deer gathered around a single one.
