The Veil(II): Following The Hounds
Alex moved along with Cross, joining up with Devonte and following after Khan. The hounds were easily found, their bodies somewhat smoky and greyish, but what was oh so obvious was the fact that they had very piercing human blue eyes. Just as they noticed Alex and his friends looking at them.
The hounds were silent, which came as a surprise to Alex, he at least expected them to talk, but all they did was turn around and start walking towards the sea. At first Alex thought they would be king the miraculous and walking on water, but instead a sort of smoky path came into being in front of them, Alex shrugged his shoulders and followed, dragging Cross along who admittedly couldn't see what Alex, Devonte and Khan could.
Ghost dogs walking on the sea was spooky enough, but the thing they didn't notice was that the very moment the noticed Bran and Sceólang, their presence seemed to have vanished.
