I stalk leisurely through the snow, letting my own bleached coat blend into the beauty around me like a glove. The only things that stand out are my ebonite mask and dual toned eyes of blue and green, sparkling with intelligence and narrowed in determination as I trail my new victim. I've been following the girl's scent for days now, watching as she drinks from creeks along the way and as she hunts small birds and squirrels. I can't tell yet if she's a loner or just taking a trip away from her pack but in the end, all will be made clear, I'm sure.
She is to be my prize to Abendrot and Kershov. I know he only called for his assassins and spies to take prisoners but as his loyal General, I have no qualms with proving my own prowess by bringing him back a little prize myself. What's the harm, right? My tail flicks behind me playfully as I stalk forward, my paws making no noise whatsoever as I wait to see what will happen next. I don't know what brings her to Misty Mountain and really, I don't care. All I care about is getting her back to Abendrot and my home.
