Prompt: Skeleton trees stood sentry on the shoreline.... Words: negative, rocks, knees, tapped, quipped, threat My Paragraph: Skeleton trees stood sentry on the shoreline. Eephriel peered through the branches, her daemon leopard's tail tapping the back of her knees, reminding her he was still there. "They're not coming, young one," the daemon finally growled in a voice like waves crashing rocks on shore. "Hush," Eephriel scolded him as the wind tore at her hair. She didn't need his negativity, not now, not today. The daemon hadn't been with her long, but he'd let her know his opinions daily, regardless of if she asked for them. "I'll throw you back to the abyss if you keep it up." She threatened the same threat she had since the daemon's first quip. The tail hit the back of her legs a bit harder. Eephriel set her hand between the creatures ears until it faded into shadows and her hand dropped to her side. But as she peered again between the branches to the water below, the daemon's voice tugged at her heartstrings, they're not coming.
