Depression

I will make it go away
can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
these feelings will be gone
these feelings will be gone

The black maled moved silently into Galars Marsh. He and his brother Cutter had split up and gone different ways and now communicated through howls every now and again. His brother was at the Canyon and he had come here. Depression gazed around him and sneezed at the smell of sulfur but it was all most gone now. He lay down staring at a hole in the ice and listened attentivly to everything around him.

Stay inside the hole, let me take control. (Dominate)
You were nothing more, you were something less (innocent)
Something has to give - something has to break (omnipresent)
Fingers on your skin, let my savage in

After a while, a long, blunt-ended snout poked up out of the hole. A second snout of just slightly larger than the first appeared next to it. Two alligators, about four feet in length, took long, deep breaths from the ice hole. The water was slowly beginning to warm, but none of the reptiles could eat yet. The smaller of the two suddenly noticed the wolf and gave a chirp-like sound, "Oh!"

The opened his single eye in a flash and focused quickly on Depression. "Great... here we go again."

"Dima, please! Maybe this one will talk to us..." Akili said, as if their conversation were totally private and unheard by the wolf. The she-gator brought her head more out of the water, "Say, won't you stay and talk to us a bit?"

Dima sighed and slipped a bit deeper under the water, but his snout was still visible, and quite laden with scars.

Depression

He stared at the two and cocked his head to the side unsure of what to think of these two. He scooted a bit closer and said softly "Sure..." He was not afraid of the alligators for one could not be afraid of something that one did not know. Another inch closer he came and he lay there watching them. He was within a few feet of the hole and little did he know if these two so chose they could snatch him out of the water and eat him for lunch.
