King Elk Forest Far Far From Home

Paw tracks in the snow, blots of red within them, dark, and stark against the white icy snow. An even darker color lurked within the forest, a shade of black, sliver and brown dappled over fur. Blood stained teeth, a sleek coat, and a strong body. A fresh kill within Higoros maw, fur to protect against the elements and strenght to keep him moving forward. He wasn't done, he still had to find her. No matter how bloody his paws got, how tired his body was or how muddled his mind became he would not stop until she was found. It had been months, no a year since his journey began and Higoro allowed himself little time for self care. He was too full of himself to admit it but he didn't look good, a considerable amount of his usual weight had been lost and his strenght was certainly not what it used to be. None of that would stop him much, maybe an inconvenience here and there but he would refuse to let those things stop him. The guilt he carried with him each and everyday since his separation from her has fueled his expedition to find her. He had to make things right with her. 

A violent rumble withing Higoros stomach was enough to pull his thoughts away, and onto the fact he was sure that rumble was loud enough it could be heard a mile away. Not to mention the pain was like bear claws being sunk into his belly. The silvery male decided enough was enough, he was to eat what he had killed. His pace slowed, and his paws ached more as his steps became more deliberate and weighted. The blood on his paws was still there, a clear product of just how much he was unwilling to cut himself breaks but unfortunetly to Higoro, he needed to eat. The male laid down on his stomach and laid the rabbit in front of him, belly exposed. He licked his chops and began tearing into the belly of the rabbit. As he ate his mind drifted to her, wondering if she was near or far and if she was okay. To stay this female was his soft spot was an understatment.
