Sunset Valley embrace my fiery fate

Transfixed by the liquid flame, Iwa had all but missed the approaching figure until the young wolf had drawn close enough to his position to turn his snout in the direction of the stout and doggish shape.

Kaji had made a home in marrow of his ribs and the steady beating of his heart.

In the depths of his glittering jet-black gaze, there were signs of a competitor. The boar played out the scenario in his head, the way a tactician would, before taking several steps forward. A daring snort was issued from his broad snout.
