the moors gradually faded into much more level ground, which left him feeling exposed and weak. he didn't like the idea that someone could see him from miles away. rehan preferred the mountains, the rocks to hide behind and within. the coywolf picked up his pace, wanting to get away from here as soon as he could.
first a trot, then a sprint. the breeze whistled past his ears, tongue beginning to loll as he gathered momentum. he saw a beach ahead, then cliffs--
only to stumble over a large, thick clump of grass that felt more like a rock at this velocity. rehan hit the ground hard, the wind knocked out of him and the affected limb twisting beneath his body.
once he had regained his breath, he staggered to his paws, wincing with pain--his forelimb throbbed. it looked more or less in place, as far as bone structure, but it hurt enough to not bear weight, not easily, anyway. a scowl crept across rehan's face, and he swore silently, hobbling along on three legs.
the only thing he hated more than being exposed was being exposed and being injured, all at once.
