Random Event: Mountain goats are beginning to descend from Mount Dire, and can temporarily be found throughout the forests of Relic Lore. All welcome!
Chan was scouting, doing his own part in ensuring the safety of those in the pack while still trying to seek out those who were missing from it. Each time he left the Falls' markers behind though, it was not a face he knew that came to the forefront of his mind. It was the mystery assailant who had effectively disappeared Towser and sent @Adelard into such a state of panic. What if they returned? What if they brought allies?
Over and over he remembered @Flair's assault, how little it had taken for the younger wolf to enact such vicious revenge, the ridiculous imbalance of what it had cost the hopeful parents-to-be. It could happen again. They could lose the twins or Marigold or all of them-
His spiraling thoughts scattered as he lifted his eyes and they settled on a lone ram, its pale coat and curving horns so out of place amongst the deep red slants and lines of the redwoods. All at once, that deep sense of anxiety gave way to something that was starkly rare for the aging leader; Chan became awash with rage.
Both colors burned in his gaze, unblinkingly fixed upon the wretched creature. It looked back at him with pure nonchalance, as though he were as inconsequential as a mouse. There was nothing logical about the insult he felt over that, nor about the way he wanted to hurt the ungulate. It wasn't him to feel hateful, yet in that moment the flames of his fury felt undefeatable.
How dare it not know what one of it's kind had stolen.
