"I can't take you with me this time around, Snowpuff, it's dangerous out there." Kyva murmured as she crouched beside the small fox.
She had found him lingering in the shadowed corner of the stone building, and while the thought of where he had strayed all this while stirred within her, time was no ally to idle thoughts.
Thankfully, she didn't have to worry about taking Snowpuff on such a treacherous journey. The senior adepts had announced that all belongings, companions included, would be kept in their care and returned once the trial was over.
Kyva did not wholly trust them; especially the one with the unnaturally twisted horns. There was something in him that set her deeply on edge.
Still… she trusted Snowpuff.
Surely he would keep himself safe until her return.
But…
What if she does not make it back at all?
