Ahh, two down and only one more to complete my season-long journey to my destiny. Perhaps it’s not as glamourous as Hell’s Infinite Ruler or Overlord of Destruction but the Elite Guard will suit my needs just fine for as long as I remain in Moladion. Besides, I will leave all that alpha business to someone who cares about the opinions of others. As for me… I am my own individual and what some stranger thinks will never deter me from doing or saying what I want. That’s how it’s always been and always will be.

Now… if I could just find someone of interest to pass along a dirty little secret.

With large paws of ebony pressing indents into the snow, I leave my trail beginning at the moorland and heading toward the looming crags. I had spent very little time in the wild lands of Moladion before meeting with Aithne but I’ve heard rumors that the scourge of the land all come to settle here when not terrorizing the masses. My dark liver colored nose points to the earth and wriggles around as I sniff out the area for anyone who happened to pass by recently. With no luck found amidst the foot of the rocks I quickly decide to ascend the icy mount with steady, careful steps. Fighting and being handsomely brawny were my best points but agility and erm… flexibility? Not so much in the same category. I had to take it slow and easy if I didn’t want to make a fool of myself but I wasn’t ashamed of my weaknesses. Not every rock had a coating of ice upon it and I made sure to grip the stones with blunt claws to ensure their steadfastness before placing my weight into them.

Soon enough I was at a small peak midway up the stony face of the crags and it was at this area that a scent floated by upon the air. He was much younger than I but my curiosity was sparked by his presence – or lack thereof – and so I sought him out. With assuredness that this level surface was not patched over in frost I investigated the surrounding boulders and crevices. He had to be here somewhere. ”Come on out, kid. I need something from ya.” I talk aloud as my head lifts and ears perk to catch any response, be it words or movement.
