Neverwinter Forest whip cracks, we jump

After this, around Feb 8-9. Tagging @Zephyr, @Mango, & @Mal. Zephyr is on Kratos' back, unconscious; both of them sustained severe injuries. Three deep puncture wounds on Kratos' back, a chunk of his cheek missing on the left side, and an infected right front paw. Zephyr's front right leg has multiple deep puncture wounds and looks raw from being chewed down on, and lacerations on his shoulder and side of the chest.

Neverwinter Forest takes longer to travel to then he wanted; each step weighed down not by the silver coywolf on his back, but the limp of his right forepaw—worsened by both infection and the pulsing ache of every wound on his back.
Ghost, in theory, helps and worsens the injuries. The pressure might have helped the bleeding slow, while his cheek still streams freely.
No matter how much his legs quake, he carries on—striding passed the border marks put in place by fellow Neverwinter wolves. The panic in his mind drives him forth; he knows there is nothing he can do to help. Ghost needs medical attention.
A low howl finally escapes his lips, and a coughing fit follows after.
