Phoenix Maplewood my flesh and soul are still at war

I've been away so I'll try to steer this in a direction where there's no consequences! :)

Stavanger Bay. Pura heard the words in passing, but did not recognize the name. Mercury leapt effortlessly out of the way - testament to his youth. Pura barrelled onwards, slowing to a stop a few meters away. He knew straight away that this was not going to work. Mercury was too even a match to consider - at least for now. The silvery wolf turned to stare at his adversary, took a moment to really size him up, and announced his decisions with a soft snort. It wasn't worth it.

Without further word, Pura took off into the forest.
