The sun was setting before her eyes behind mountain spires as she ventured west. Noon had been spent dozing, afternoon wasted on searching for a fresh scent. A fruitless endeavor.
Weary paws wandered but they were not carried by the wind. Moonlit eyes had settled on the distant mountain range some time ago. Slowly but surely, the mountain wolf drew nearer.
She caught herself from the narrowing tunnel vision.
Swarthy paws slowed to a stop. Her shadowed head lifted to take in the sprawling land around her: bleak and barren, lit only the few autumn leaves of distant copses. Overturned trees lay amok across the yellowed, wiry lawn. Arnarkla's eyes narrowed into scrutinizing swords as she theorized the cause of such mindlessness.
Sparring bison came to mind. A blind rampage. Their stamping hooves and steam billowing from flared nostrils. Skulls of boulders clashing against one another backlit by a rising sun.
