/here comes the creepy boi/
A dark blot stained the pristine white snows of this land - the slow steady treading of snow under myriad paws the only thing that broke an eerie silence that seemed to follow this particular one, as though the creatures of the land shied away from nearing the beast.

The thing, for while it be resemblance to some canine couldn't accurately be called such - for it looked wrong to gaze upon, an Anathaema to nature's careful designs - misshapen, twisted, with more limbs and twisted appendages than was normal on such a creature.

Long tapered ears jutted forwards, craning to hear sound in the silence as the shambling deceiving slow gait of the creature brought it forwards - for it was a deception, it looked sluggish and malformed but it belied the frightening speed and strength of the creature - still it's natural shambling meander, made it look like a dead thing walking.

Perhaps it was - with its twisted raised flesh, morphing and malformed second skin like the fusions of many others, the strange half exoskeleton and its seeming melted half armour fused to its chest and shoulders - what once was lost, indeed.

Jaws stretched wider than a natural animal and the thing gurgled lowly as it stopped shy of the border, it's head - a horrible eyeless gaze of solid dark hollow spaces like a bare skull - turning to and fro for signs of life, like it could still see with seemingly no visible eyes - it's neck cracked at the movement, the spine of the creature seemingly bulged and burst from its skin in its horrible twisted design - a mockery of 'mans best friend' - a nightmare in flesh.

The creature's two pairs of front limbs dug into the snow, tendrils - far too many - jutting out from the cracks of armour and the seams of its limbs writhed in the silent air as it waited, this misshapen and u pnfathomable thing - a creature hideous but strangely entrancing in its own horrificness.

Silentgrave was their name, it fit them and was poetic, a name that spoke to something more - They'd had a different name before, but They existed together now, two corpses in one grave.

The beast was quiet as it - he, they, them, the many and the one - waited.
