Despite how wide his eyes were pulled apart, the world in front of the beast was blurred. The skunk’s fumes were no match for the mere mortality of his body, and as such, his red-rimmed eyes teared. Hazy figures of the sky, the clouds, and the rocks around him became nothing more than indistinct circles. Blurbs of nothingness, one could argue.
He could not discern any form of tracks and it was only the features directly in front of him that Vargulf could see.
But he could hear.
Past the clicking sound of his teeth and the gurgles of growls mixed with froth, he could hear Odette scream. He could hear her run. His paws settled into a trot, ears swiveling against the receding sound. She was running.
Running away from him.
Running away from their meal.
Vargulf was now hungry and hindered.
He could not hunt for himself. The prey would smell him.
And it was Odette’s fault, he concluded to himself, for making him this way.
Patience turned to anger and Vargulf released one of his own howls in tandem against her scream—a horrific melody harmonizing against the winter sky.
And with that, a hunt began.
// We can fade the thread here, if you'd like! Vargulf is far behind, but he's attempting to track her
