Seasonal Event Prompt: Herding the Capallse

News spread across the kingdoms of the creatures of myth having treaded through the now snowy lands. Death has studied this species as a younger cub, and was always quite fond of them. There were many myths surrounding this creature of how unlucky they were, especially the white-colored mares. Every time he’s imagined being with the creature, he could only think of ending up dead due to his own bad luck. But who knows? Maybe a fortunate mare or stallion would take mercy on him and NOT end up in a bad situation.

At the break of dusk, he made his way across the phoenix path and toward the trading post, where the groups of felines and canines would be meeting up and herding these Capallsé away from the bitter cold kingdom and back to the anlark grounds. The very thought of those grounds got his blood bubbling with the urge to fight. He’s seen battles unfold there while he was training to be a guardian and participated in a few himself. Not official one’s though, more like general rough housing among the growing cats and dogs.

By the time he arrived, night had settled in. Only the street lanterns illuminated Death’s way toward the trading post where the group was going to meet to herd the Capallsé back to the anlark grounds. While the cold has never bothered Death, he brought a cloak with him just in case he got colder. He wore it on the way here and flipped the hood out of his face to see what awaits him at the trading post. It appears nobody was there, save for the middle aged feline behind the counter.

He looked up at Death, asking “So you’re part’a the group that’ll herd all these damned Capallsé outa here and back to where they should go, right?” Death’s ears folded to his skull at the remark the man made toward the Capallsé. Death ignored the rude statement and replied “Yes. I suppose I’m the first one here, eh?” he asked, trying to switch topics. It was pretty obvious, since the empty streets echoed with silence, filled with only the bitter slices of the winter wind.
