Blackfoot Forest A Beacon in the Night

Just a one-post cameo from me. :)

Artax awoke to what he could only describe as "the sound of two wild goats going at it." He had been close enough to hear them, but at least far away enough to remain out of whatever scuffle they were having. When the noise finally died down, the quick pitter-patter of feet slid past him in the night as well. Sniffing the air, he realized it was not a goat at all, but a cougar.

No way José! Artax whisper-shouted aloud, scrambling off anywhere else but here. He wanted no part of cougars or whatever it had been fighting.
