Dawnlark Plains XXXVIII

Eti did his best for he was an obedient beast. He ignored the tremor in his chest and stomach and instead focused on what he must do for his family.

The youth Ancelin (was it) yelled to stay away from hooves and Eti had learned that the hard way once before and these hooves were bigger. So stay away he did.

But he forced himself to keep pace and keep driving. He was not a large wolf by any means, but he could do this for matant Mireille and Theo and Suzu.

Bite, claw, snarl, back up. He turned it into a pattern he could remember, and he turned as the beasts turned.
