Panther Park Feels like they’re washing out,

Come fight @Tony The Tiger with me?? :o

Anslem bid for Epoch the night before, informing both @Mahler and @Wylla of his intent. His pace was leisurely - there were many natural barriers between the packs, and his energy conservation was of utmost importance. 

He fell to a familiar footpath along the park. Oak and silvery fern dotted the forest floor, giving way to open sightlines and a soft meadow valley indented between the rough ridges of mountains flanking the vale. 

The scents here were stark - deer, turkeys, the occasional acrid scent of fox. But one stood out among the rest and caused Anselm’s hackles to blade. It was pungent and predatory - not bear, not wolf — it was evocative of the big cat which stalked him and Donnie some weeks before, but different somehow. 

A chill crawled the back of his spine as he saw a figure far larger than him take shape on the path ahead.
