Empty Owl
Another Hollow. This time it is an animal.
Who would have thought that they could be Hollow Ones too?
There was a time when these animals were all alive. They were much more than senseless animals opposed to what so much believed back then. The ignorants went so far as to hurt them without care. Negligence, hostility, and harm. So much so that their cruelty - in some cases - chased away the spirit of these creatures. What remained is what we call today a Hollow.
At first, there is not much difference between a Hollow and a real living animal. They look the same, they act the same, but the spirit is amiss from the eyes. What one can see looking into those eyes is the swirling emptiness. This emptiness then spreads, and in the end, all movement stops. They become stationary, like the trees. And as time goes by, they become just like any hollow trees with moss and lichen growing on them.
