Spotted Eagle Mountain little voice

last post for me! ty guys!

they leapt.

damn them!

shardul checked his lunge too late; he tumbled after them down the hill of sliding slate into the waters, and screamed with anger as the cold soaked through the silk pelt of his hips -- he heaved himself from the river and whirled to watch the wolves' heads break the surface, bobbing downstream. away from him. shardul shook; he was beside himself with rage, and shrieked again, tail lashing.

but his anger was impotent -- with each passing moment they drew farther away from them, but his ire broke upon the shores of their ears with screams and with the howling wail that was the cougars' lot, until at last he grew hoarse and retreated in shame.
