Moonspear fell into a rabbit hole

he trudged towards the peak, eventually crossing the invisible line where his record for climbing the spear had once rest. everything beyond that point was new, unexplored territory to the youth. 

he scrambled to find his footing as the mountain tipped to offer steeper bouts of earth, a poor placement of his paw resulting in a slip and a cut along his front-left ankle. gaze flickered down to catch a glimpse of the small beads of crimson that began to trickle from the scratch. 

he momentarily halted his climb to plop himself on his rear and lift a foreleg to lick at the minuscule injury. by the time he returned home, the bleeding would have long subsided and the injury would be forever forgotten about. 

a voice called out to him resulting in a sudden burst to his feet. his eyes darted around before falling on the figure of an odd looking lady who somewhat reminded him of talis. weird appearances these non-wolves had, so similar and yet so different. 

"hello," he greeted with a sweep of his tail. "i'm acrux, who are you?" he questioned while bringing his leg back up for another lick over his wound.
