Further, he cannot help it. The entire range is an obstacle course and Revui has had enough of the lowlands beyond it. He craves the physicality of charging across the mountain paths, of fighting his way up and down and everywhere, even if it burns his lungs with how thin the air gets. He is forcing himself to acclimate to the mountains again; they are his fixation, these obstacles which will test him and strengthen him.

His heart was sold to the first mountain he climbed, but he could not resist the second: this solitary peak jutting out of the range like some improperly built cairn ready to topple. It is desolate. There are trees trying to grow and gorse throughout, crossing the exposed bedrock as if trying to knit itself in place, and it was much the same when he'd toured it the first time.

This time, there was a flash of red between some of those tired trees. Revui would not have typically been so observant of it, except it was a flash of color in an otherwise lackluster place, and the movement drew his eye. It did not continue, which was curious — so he changed his trajectory and began to hike his way towards the patch where he had thought he'd seen it.

Once there, he is briefly out of breath, but he sees a yawning darkness cleaved in to the mountainside that was previously obscured. A cavern of some kind? He begins his approach, and then a slanting shaft of light catches upon the red flare in his vision again, and he realizes he's found another wolf. He appraises them from where he stands, studying their figure, but not speaking.

The woods have always been filled with these soft doe-eyed things;
with hearts beating for the arrow, the bullet, the lance.

I have always been the huntsman.  ⤑
