^^The best thing about Elkshire, Archon was finding, was the religion - that of course being the very obvious reason that they were named: for their love of elk and all things that sported bone-paws, and antlers.

Archon liked to spend a lot of time with the Elk and other herds that there may be, just studying them and watching them; not getting too close for them to think they were being hunted, or to be spooked by a new boy lookin’ at them, but also close enough to study them.

The main reason he liked Elkshire and the herds, because if Hawking’s antlers could fall off, then so could theirs, and Archon had a growing supply of Bam Bams! Though none would top the golden antler from his friend - he still liked to watch for fallen antlers, to collect them in his den.

He had not found one today, but that was okay - it was still a good day to Archon. He decided that he would explore a wee little bit, as this was his second home - and found himself at the edge of the Range, where he’d taken to sleeping under an oak tree.

The clouds came alive ahead, screaming and roaring, though Archon was a moderately heavy sleeper and didn’t stir until lightning had struck the tree that he was lying under, sending Archon into a panic. He glanced up, and woah, the tree was on fire!

In fact, the entire tree had split open, and Archon could see the flames from the crack of the tree, all the way up to the top, where it seemed to come to life and just settle there. Growing, festering, like his love for -

Archon could not help but to stare at the red-orange flames, as they seemed to consume him. His eyes grew wide as he glared up and down the tree, as he slowly took a few steps back. Something told him to run, but oh… the flames were just so pretty..

^^It was almost as if the fire had some sort of trance over the boy as he continued to stare, not realizing he was putting his own life in danger until the tree started to crackle, but thankfully a voice from the heavens above called to him - calling him a moron at all - and commanding him to move.

She had snapped him out of his trance, and Archon shook his head a few times; just long enough for the realization of the entire situation to slap him in the face. The pretty tree was dangerous, and the amount of smoke and debris from the tree along was beginning to make his eyes water.

He blinked, taking a few more steps back and bolted as one of the branches began to sway, and would have hit him if his savior hadn’t called out to him.

Running towards the other canine, Archon paused for a moment to shake his coat of debris and glanced over at her with wide, curious eyes.

“Hey! Are you okay??” Archon asked, never minding that he was the one in actual danger.

^^The girl took a step back from him and Archon was quickly reminded of the time that Hawking had done the same thing. There was a bit of a disconnect there, as Archon wasn’t really sure why a total stranger would do such a strange thing, and he merely blinked up at her with wide, innocently curious eyes.

What was wrong with him? “Oh,... um… you know.. ” Archon muttered, brokenheartly, stepping away from her with lowered ears and a look of sadness. Was there something truly wrong with him?? Surely, his Ma would have told him by now - wouldn’t she have? Or Hawking? Maybe even Warwick??

“I.. I guess I don’t know.. ” Archon muttered, licking over his lips and lowering his head with a whimpered sigh, as he moved to sit down several, several feet away from her as he glanced back over the pretty fire.

^^To be honest, Archon didn’t give a flying fuck about this High Elk nonsense. He had already been blessed by Hawking, who was deemed as Divine, and that was good enough for him. The lights of his coat were gray, though, and not white - not that Archon was aware of the secondary part of Elkshire’s religion.

Even so, nothing could falter Archon’s love for his mother, who sported a white coat. So when Editch told him that he was cursed, Archon stopped. He no longer cowered, and instead gave an annoyed sigh.

He could hear Warwick’s voice in his head: a sinner is anyone touched by evil. Anyone bad, really. Welp, that chalked it up to Edith as a sinner, and that was that.

“So it’s true then, that this pack is infested with sinners, especially if you’re one of them!!!” Archon would say to her, looking her directly in the eye and then he turned to run away.

Would this make the second time that Archon had left Elkshire? Find out next time on Elkshire Chronicles.

exit archon if not stopped
