The Tangle X

for @Chacal! <3

the snarl of trees and foliage drew augur once more.

the giant wolf had been coursing slowly after a lone buck. one of the male's antlers had been snapped off at its first branching, no doubt from skirmishes during the breeding season. 

augur felt confident that he would be able to exhaust the animal. and so he passed over the border of the rise just into the gnarled branches. he looked around for the white wolf, and when he did not find the stranger, augur pushed on.
