Chapter 447: Blueberry
8 years ago…
In the tall ashen trees of Vulture Woods walked a small, almost unseen figure.
“And then Mother Aurelia said I had to wash the hunter’s clothes for the whole week!” Stryg groaned and kicked the grass. “I mean, yeah, okay, I did in fact set his cabin on fire, but it was an accident! A total accident! P-Plus, no one saw me do it. She has no proof!”
Stryg sighed and hung his head. “Who am I kidding? She can always tell when I’m lying. But she didn’t have to spank me so many times. Yeah, I know she’s the First Mother and she’s gotta set an example and all, but sometimes I feel like she’s harder on me than everyone else, ya know?”
The doe looked at him for a moment then kept going on its way through the trees. Stryg hurried to catch up.
“She never hits the other kids as much as me. Okay, yeah, I know I’m the only one who sneaks out all the time, but what else am I supposed to do? Play with the other kids? They always just bully me.”
The deer blinked.
Stryg shook his head, “Yeah, I already asked Lunae for help and she offered to eat them, but if she does that Mother Aurelia will be sad.”
The doe bucked a high-pitched noise.
