Duskfire Glacier [m] Tshärr

ayovi flashed forth, and skorpa followed. her teeth skimmed to ailing flesh and thus did blood add its bouquet to the billow of scents around them. he shouted! a man of the white jaw burning now for battle.

reindeer were great beasts, but it was ayovi's speed and swiftness needed now. as the caribou darted ahead, skorpa took their lead, lunging through snowdrift until he came near to its shoulder.

heavy step thrust him close, and now his teeth peeled blood in shuddering skin from their quarry.

a cry of pain bellows to the air and he matched it again with another snarl of his own, falling back as his burning eyes flickered, assuming ayovi would now capture the third leg of their relay. run down, the caribou had only minutes before adrenaline flagged beneath bloodloss.
