King Elk Forest summisse

@Sacnite? :o

germanicus considered what the king had said. he was returning from a mildly successful hunt outside the borders, not the thick-haunched rabbit he had wanted, but a quail instead. a mouthful for a wolf moving through the territory. putting the tiny body into a cache, the soldier pondered the fading light, the bleed from daytime into twilight.

he had searched but not found. and while the quiet was in his heart, something deep and restless and the antithesis of what he must be, he knew he was keep committed to his promise. instead he found the clearing where he intended to take a brief sleep before his nighttime vigil, a slice of short greenery overlooking the forest and its inhabitants.
