There, somewhere out beyond where he was, there was a voice.
The long-legged moonlighter felt a stirring in the air that carried the desolate sound of a stranger toward him. Try as he might, the image of a damaged creature was far too much for him to leave behind. Though he had a hare clutched between his sharp little teeth as he was intending to return with it for Indra, the coywolf turned sharply and cupped his ears so that he might hear the call of the voice once more. He waited, heart thrumming softly in his chest, but it seemed that it had fallen silent. Tadec wondered if he had imagined the voice of a spirit – one that had stopped running – or if he had conjured the very creature from beyond.
Turning in his tracks, the moonlighter searched with his gaze for the frame of another, or the light that might have struck him to illuminate his figure. In this – his search – Tadec held his breath, almost as though he might hear the other breathing over the sound of the world. The coywolf was poised perfectly in his position. He released a soft chuff to announce that he was there. He hoped that he would hear the sound of the other calling back in a short matter of time.

all the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand Enemies.
and when they catch you, they will kill you. but first they must catch you;
digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning.
be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.
