Noctisardor Bypass i am blood and blood and replay

@Morwenna

he has hunted with @Sega, following the old caribou trails and filling in old coyote dens with ice and snow. working, tirelessly. diligent, begrudgingly, under the guidance of the young chieftain.
now he takes the rest of the evening to himself. traveling west, away from the taiga and into the valley beneath. long legs of a caribou hunter carrying him, and his scarred head held high upon the shoulders of a knight.
torn between two worlds, though he is scarcely aware of it.
he knows only that as he travels into the bypass, skirting down the rocky mountain side which surrounds and down through one of many grottos, something sets him uneasy.
something. or someone, maybe, watching him. and the young soldier stops, those paws of his coming to a halt upon rock and snow. yellow eyes cutting, narrowing as he puts his head upon a swivel.
