Moonspear don't you wish to purge your fears

Floki was spending a lot more time near the borders rather than beyond them. He missed his free-ranging days as nothing but an outrider, but he knew that he would earn that privilege back eventually. For now, he threw himself into his new role as a Beta. Not only did he want to live up to Charon's expectations, but he wanted to show nay-sayers -- like Tevinter -- that he was leadership material.

Coming from the opposite direction, he did not scent the coyote first. Instead, he became aware of the commotion ahead and immediately grew defensive. As he bore down on the fight, he identified both Charon and Amekaze. The third presence was not a wolf, but rather a coyote -- and by the time he arrived, both Alphas had tangled with the lean canine and it was trying to escape their grasp.

His gaze landed on Charon's torn cheek, the blood visceral against his pale fur, and as the coyote skittered away Floki gave a flash of his teeth. Though it wasn't much, it was enough to spook the rangy beast back towards Amekaze, and the hair on the Beta's spine stood straight as he stalked after it.
