Dawnlark Plains Tûnuck

can be a cameo, couldnt resist! lol

saatsine hunters filtered through the taiga. sun eater watched them come and go, feeling that the cache was not defensible. but it was not his to defend, and so he only enjoyed the prettiness of the sheltered place, hoping that his mate would find it soothing to her mind as well.

it was good to be out of the river. already veksar had roused more suspicion against himself, for sun eater had instructed that his hunters go to the glacier.

but he did not follow and he did not dwell.

there was the scent of tangled alpine and fresh blue ice, and his eye trailed the horizon until he found a running-built figure standing palegrey over a newly killed deer.

was that something beyond? sun eater tested the air again, tasting, standing open for the gaze of this one and the unseen watcher he only just sensed.
