The Lagoon was silent; the birds did not chirp, the wind did not rustle and even the sun hid behind the clouds. It was as if the world held its breath; watching, waiting until the beast emerged out of the shadows like a plague. Two toned flesh littered with scars no longer carried the scent of his birth home, but his golden lupine eyes looked across the Lagoon with hunger and authority. The scents here he did not recognize but he would make sure they knew his soon enough.


A scream emitted from the stallion; the sound challenging and commanding all at the same time. It drifted like poison through the Lagoon, echoing off the trees and water, contaminating everything it touched. Meant for every resident within the territory, the wolf growled with approval that it would not be ignored.


It was beneath a giant willow that Felony had issued the call from and where he stood waiting. Long since past, the ground had been beaten down around the tree; his rank oder claiming the small space as his own. Now the grasses had returned and his scent not even a faint whisper. It caused his black rimmed ears to lace into his ebony mane, his eyes darkening to liquid gold and his patience run thin on those he waited for.
