In the Bright Sunlight << Previous | Next >> Food in the Ashes

_____________

The Tribe moved swiftly. They could never afford to waste any time, and dared not do so now. The leaders, the elders, all but the white-thumbs murmured amongst themselves, agreeing that something in the world was amiss.

Anorthyte found it impossible to care about omens and signs, when hunger gnawed at the white-thumb's stomach. All the Tribe was miserable with it, for where the trees grew thicker and taller and greener, all was silent, and there was no prey. Shadow fell wherever snow did not, and nothing good grew or wandered in shadow. Nothing but the Tribe.

The white-thumb was more hungry than ever before. Anorthyte took to nibbling and gnawing at anything that seemed remotely edible - bark, mold, moss. Most things were bitter and utterly unbearable - but moss almost cushioned the worst of the hunger.

_____________

Color/Lineart + Shading + Background + 100 words = 7 magic
