Stone Circle The circle of life

For @Valette only, but may open it up later to everyone else! Keeping some injuries vague, since the fight thread isn't finished yet.

Steady limped into the territory, his front left leg useless to him as it dangled from his body. The muscles had been torn, and he was pretty sure they wouldn't be usable again. Blood poured from the wounds, and try as he might to get it to stop, it just seemed to keep coming. His whole body felt sore, and all he wanted was to lay down and go to sleep. But, he wouldn't, couldn't, do that before coming home. 

In the back of his mind, he knew the unseen injuries were worse than the ones that could be seen. But, right now, all he wanted was to see his love. Once he was fully in the territory, he sat back on his haunches and let out a short, weak howl, calling for her. It was all he could muster.
