Arrow Lake verräter

for @Aurëwen ♥️

mahler had been told that the mountain wolf and the motherdove were unmarried, but it had mattered naught to him. children, the natural outcome of most pairings, were most important. 
however, this had seemed of less intrigue to the man verx, whose scent had faded too swiftly from the border for the gargoyle’s liking. rather doubtful that the male had simply gone off on an extended hunting trip, mahler came to the conclusion that verx had chosen to act without honour and abandon the children he had sired.
a shameful and curious thing, for the sylph was a dutiful mother and loyal lover to her sea wolf. and perhaps it was not so; perhaps they had come to an agreement. at any rate, mahler sought aurëwen out at her thicket, bringing a gift of elk hooves for the children and his verdict upon verx’s actions.
