Moonspear Bitter

Thud. Thud. Thud. The sound of his oversized paws pounded on something solid. With the majority of the snow cleared away, Saviguk was met with one final obstacle.

A few well-placed thrusts of his paws and body weight, and it should crack.

Sialuk's voice snapped him out of his task. He paused for a moment, teal eyes fixing on her. While there was no less sibling love in them, there was also a sense of maturity. Of something more serious. Day by day, as each grew colder, Saviguk felt his sense of duty deepening. "Clearing the snow from den. I have to get it and this ice out of the way. I don't want any of us getting snowed in, or worse, slipping." He would go to any lengths to protect his family, even if it were such a small but significant task such as this.

Dark ears pivoting back, he heard the approach of Hydra. He had learned to recognize her footsteps well. But something about them, something in her gait was off. He could almost hear the imperfection. Oblivious to the slaughter that had occurred in the Glen, amongst his family, he turned to hurry towards the Queen. Inadvertently, he cleared a path for them with his body alone, while plowing forth in the snow. How convenient. Circling her once for a quick sniff, concern took him. "Something's happened. Please, tell us?"
