A creature as mighty as he could travel extensive distances in mere days, and without a herd to root him it was easy to follow the wind. He felt it in every stomp of his hooves across the endless earth, heard it whistle and sing in his ears, tasted it in every deep, pulse-racing breath he took.
But he could not run forever.
The lord slowed to a canter, but even that was not enough, for the wind called to him—it pleaded, and he was soon directed to a crumpled heap of plant life. He was striding softly, and came to a stop when the scent of wolf alerted him. Nechako was not afraid, but his eyes were not accustomed to the forms and colors of the wolf, so he did not see it at first.
Rather, he bent his head towards the earth and began to graze, all the while the child cried.
