Moonspear bully to knuckle duster

Hunger struck him like it had the entire pack, and Charon didn't know what to do. He hadn't expected anything to happen now, in summer time, of all times; he knew winter to be tough, but thought summer was supposed to flourish. The pack was small and he feared for his upcoming pups with Amekaze. What would they eat? What would Ame eat? It was clear to him now that he hadn't managed to impregnate her the first time and it was with great impatience that the Moonspear Alpha awaited when she would go into heat at long last so that they could finally have pups — heirs.

Things had been quiet, and Charon had missed Ness for a while now. She was good-humoured and positive, and he could use someone to say something positive about the mess of the situation about now. Yet when he wandered and noticed Lazarus in the distance, he found her in a form that he had not expected. At first he thought that Lazarus had harmed her, but as he rapidly approached it became very clear that she was not freshly dead and the wounds looked too great to be a wolf's — as far as he could tell.

A look of emotion struck across Charon's face as he looked at Ness' broken body, for she had been young, had looked so much like him, and they'd had that instant connection he wished he had many more pack members like. As his sorrowful gaze drifted towards Lazarus he wished that it had been the man that had died in her place, for he had no such connection to him and, had the pack not been small as it were, would've gladly thrown him off the mountain. Yet there was nothing that he could do about it now, and his stomach rumbled, too.

He lifted nose to call for @Amekaze and @Floki , asking their presence and informing them of the sad ending to Ness' life. There was little they could do to respect her now, Charon thought, but to strip flesh from bones and make sure they would stay alive.
