casually call people “human” to unsettle them and make them question what sort of being you are

CULTHCNT.

      From above, Kassandra could hear her eagle’s cry. Ikaros warning her        of a pack of wolves chasing hunters ahead. She was swift, hiding behind          a tree as she listened to them give chase. It wasn’t unheard of to be attacked        by a pack of wolves- but these hunters looked like fools. She didn’t plan on       saving them, but she heard a noise far off. A voice of a… woman? How come       they paid no attention to her, but the hunters?      The Nord was curious now, making her round from the tree and heading towards      what she thought came from a human being. And without a doubt, she came across     an injured one. Kassandra gazed down at her from where she stood, making no     attempt to come any closer after her warning. She offers her hands out in peace,     not offering to reach for her broken spear behind her back or any of her weapons.    She stared for a good moment or two, watching the wolves surrounding her in    protection, before finally speaking.                 ❝I offer no threat to you. I was just passing through when I               saw a pack of wolves chasing some hunters, and then I heard              a voice- that was you.❞     She explains herself to her, hoping to ease her. While she didn’t like explaining     herself to strangers, she thought it was best to do so now. Her amber gaze flickered     down to her wound, before gazing back to her.             ❝You’re wounded.❞     She points out just by tilting her head to her direction for a mere second, before     adjusting it back to its normal position. Still making no attempt to get any closer.

         “ many speak these lies, ”   rieka hisses.   man’s justification doesn’t work within her mind.   regardless of intentions, she is wounded and vulnerable  -  and this woman has the potential to take advantage of that.   everything is a danger.    the stranger exists among the presence of her discomfort and is therefore a threat.   “ stay back ! ”   she snarls again, convinced the other shifted closer.   her vision blurs, head aching from her fall.    resisting the pain in her limb, rieka forces herself into a strained crouch position where she raises her arms to look bigger and gives a guttural rumble.   the wolves join in, mimicking her.

you’re wounded.   fear is not her primary emotion.   she feels little fear, having faced worse foes than humans when injured.   but anxiety plummets in her chest, the pace of her heart picking up at the notion of how this could end for her.   “ it is nothing I can’t handle, ”   rieka lies.   “ hunters believe they own these lands.   own everything upon them.   they do not. ”   the explanation is blunt, crisp like the air between them.   

                           disappointment flitters across her features, wide gaze rising to study the stranger.   “ do you ? ”   she asks sharply.   “ do you believe these lands are yours ? ”   while it wasn’t rare to cross paths with lone wanderers, she often questions their morals  -  satchels filled with nature’s offerings, greedily taking resources that they later leave to die when the fascination passes.   the furs of her brethren hanging dully above fires and across dirty floorboards.   a hand hits across the layer of snow at her feet, sending powder scurrying across untouched white.   “ why are you out here ? ”

         “ you should be doing this, eluf, ”   rieka grunts, finishing the final stitch on vali’s leg.   foolish play, the younger males of her pack had been fighting again and underestimated the power of their bite.   “ I do not care that you cannot use your hands.  that is no excuse.   you are lucky I’m here, truthfully. ”   the makeshift needle is discarded into the nearby foliage, a pat on vali’s shoulder telling him she’s finished.   the wolf grumbles, watching her carefully for a moment and then proceeds to nudge her with his nose.   “ go then, be careful on it. ”   

vali chirps and skips off, hidden among the trees.   rieka follows with the rest of her pack, admiring the beautiful bark as she goes, a curious fingertip caressing the rings that mimic eyes.  vali snarls in the distance and she tenses,  immediately recognizing his warning to the others.  he’s swift to rejoin her, fur bristled and teeth showing.   something’s wrong.  a wanderer, perhaps ?   or something more ?   she peeks from behind the nearby bush, squinting past leaves at the monstrous form that comes into view.    /  @halrhjarta​
