Anyway, I made some good progress on my book today! I was writing a segment in which Lunar has a series of nightmares, and this was one of the dreams. I really enjoyed writing the scarier scenes.
Back to typing!
For those who are interested, here is the excerpt (please keep in mind that this is only a draft!):
- Context- Lunar has been wandering around looking for the source of a strange sound.
The forest was massive, and if it wasn’t for the ability to follow his own tracks, he would have feared getting lost. The sound struck his ears once more, and he turned to meet it. At this, he noticed a set of tracks leading deeper into the forest. The prints were similar to his own, but three times the size. He followed the trail curiously, weaving around trees and under low branches. In the vast woodland, he spotted a silhouette. Racing forward excitedly, he slowed to a stop before the shadowy figure.
“Do you know where we are?” He huffed through frigid breaths.
The dark wolf slowly turned to face him; its pelt identical to his own. Lunar’s excitement quickly faded, a rush of dread replacing it. The black wolf towered over him; its eyes replaced by void. Dark liquid oozed out of its open mouth, saturating the snow. Lunar stared at the monster towering before him, his guard hairs lifting defensively. The large wolf stared at him for a moment before lunging forward.
