Title: Elusive Monsters
Summary: Uranus can't seem to find them.
A/N: I should write more stuff taking place on the other planets. Like with Uranus and his perpetually-snowy home planet (as I've always imagined that planet to be), for example.
-----
Uranus saw them again; a trail of footprints led away from the gorge, heading up a rocky path that was always hidden beneath the thick blankets of snow. He followed them up to the edge of a forest of long, spindly trees that seemed to hung upside down, what with the trunk breaking apart into branches on the way down to the ground.

The trail stopped there.

Uranus looked around; every other direction lay hidden behind permanent whiteout. Someday he'd find these creatures, and maybe then he could name them. These creatures born from his dreams.

Elusive like clear skies.

In time, he does. It's quite a while, though ;)
