Zmerr walked to his home among the ruins with the setting sun at his back. The orange light it cast on him formed long shadows and strange patterns of glowing amoebous shapes on the ground. It was pretty, but Zmerr's attention was focused on the sounds around him. His ears stood up listening for the sound of approaching footsteps. He didn't hear any at the moment, but he had his suspicions about the Kitsune. In fox form, he'd be very hard to detect.
A break in the trees opened up into a large plot of overgrown land. Ivy and vines grew up the walls of roofless ruins. Now being twilight, the gray stone was bathed in a purple light. The white flowers of the vines shone violet with it. It was definitely breathtaking. Zmerr walked on like it was nothing.
With his ears still pricked, he began moving among the ruins. He was looking for the building he called home. He finally came to it. He turned around, rifle in a fire-ready position. He scanned the ruins and tall ferns around him one last time before backing into the entrance of his home. He seemed to vanish as soon as he crossed the threshold. As he entered, there was the crackling sound of a force field letting something past. It was Zmerr's own DNA recognizing forcefield. It only let *him* in. Anyone else who passed through it would only see an empty building.
