Morningside Cuesta walk the nightmare terrain forever

The beast did not take notice of the coyote until Merrick was already away; the bruin-witch streaked after the target as if he were a loosened shadow trying to find its host before the light could touch him. The winds were silent after their caterwauling to the mountain, which was fine for Revui—but he saw how incensed Merrick became in the absence of a response and trailed after him, protective.

He came upon Merrick again once the coyote had been caught. Perhaps it was young, or it had not expected to draw the attention of either wolf, but it was there, wrestling with the shadow boy, shrieking and dissonant. Revui prowled closer, watching as Merrick had his way.
