Blacktail Deer Plateau lord of wolves

a month ago, the great leviathan might have taken advantage of the fact no dogs plagued his exit: yet today, beleaguered by the sting of fangs and the sharp, unremitting ever-presence of starvation, shardik did not ready himself to face them again. he might have had brute strength on his side, but they were a unit - a barricade of tooth and claw in which he would find no peace. eventually, his strength would ebb -- and eventually, one of the dogs might best him.

he planned to visit death another day.

determined despite the hobble in his step, the beast slunk through the pinewood and quickly was well beyond blacktail's realm.
