The ravens’ cackling amidst the leaves reached a chattering frenzy, where only those dead and deaf enough could harbor in silence against the unintelligible rants. Their charcoal eyes witnessed the nameless man, whom cradled the puppet, mystically injure the pack’s alpha. The cur’s scarlet eyes dripped with tears of pain and fiery ire, barely glimpsing the sprint to the gates as the mutt’s mind burst aflame.

The rage bellowed a reckoning though. 

And…

Markus’ proximity hailed the impending storm.

The fulminant claws erupted first on the foal of maggots, wreaking havoc and dissipating the ranger’s steed into the mouth of the seething beast. Now prone, Markus coughed blood, while beholding afar two wolves upon polar crags, attempting to descend the flanking precipices. Both were graceless tumbles; one suffered a myriad of lush bayonets composed of thorns and branches, piercing fur, while the other stomached an early but unanticipated slumber.

Leaning on the hilt of his blade, and gleaning over his shoulder, he stood and appreciated the skillful polish of Egil, dodging the nips of another hoary hound. The Vistani then span, swiping the humming steel one handedly against the pair of mutts, missing his intended target, but sheathing its edge into the hide of the adjacent predator. Once married with the dog’s flesh, electricity hissed more boisterously than the surrounding fowl’s incessant hoots, hushing the birds into an intermission.
