The Tangle X

The sleek sea wolf wove her way inland, to see how the forests had begun to thaw. She was keen to begin scouting out herds so that the pack might hunt something substantial, something to nurture both Erzulie and Meerkat as they supported their children, both born and unborn. 

She paused, and then hunkered down when she heard the best of hooves approaching. The rhythmic clatter was punctuated by puffs of breath. When she clapped eyes upon the creature, she noted the way it’s mouth drew in air, and its nostrils flared. She remained hidden as it laboured on. Then, with brimming anticipation, she waited quietly to see if someone was giving chase.
