Prompt: A pair of eyes poked out from between the leaves. Words: slit, iris, mouse, ember, dart, cover My Paragraph: A pair of eyes poked out from between the leaves. The amber irises widened as I crouched down. Blinked. Lids peeled open and closed like the dragons of the south. But it wasn't a dragon. Of that I was sure. Instead of being slitted like a dragon's, the eyes were wide and round like Ember's eyes when she saw a mouse. Whatever it was didn't seem afraid, more just curious. A clump of leaves fell in front of it, causing it to dart beneath a moss covered stone. It chittered and then the eyes reappeared closer than before.
