Raven's Watch I'm alone

@Grace and maybe @Nova Rose

 

This land was close to the pack he had traced Grace's scent to. It was just as bare as the rest of the Wilds but for now it was home. The trees were tall and thin, with wispy crooked branches that held old remnants of bird nests. Whatever kind of birds had lived here they had been many but now they were gone. Kirin appeared to be the only living thing here besides the trees.

He hadn't bothered approaching the pack lands where Grace's scent led, he preferred skulking in the shadows. Even now, Kirin slunk about though he was alone. His paws made little to no noise on the bare dirt as he crept through the shadows in search of food. 

His searching provided fruitful, leading him to the misshapen carcass of a rabbit. The carrion crow that picked at the rabbit's eye cawed at him before flying off as Kirin silently bared his teeth at the bird. Tearing into the stiff meat, Kirin ate his fill. When he was done, the ebony male rose to his feet and began to stalk back towards his temporary den.
