THE TOE BONE'S CONNECTED TO THE

HEEL BONE


he'd been following the old, ailed elk for days after it had been separated from its herd, and finally its broken ankle had sapped the strength from its very core. upon the borders of tortuga it finally dropped to its knees with a mighty grunt, eyes rolling into the back of its skull as it made a final attempt to rise. ezekiel gave a crackling, anticipatory croon and blinked as he landed upon a branch, turning his head to examine the behemoth with one hungry eye. always better when they're fresh, he chortled inwardly, pleased with this turn of events. after a failed effort to bring himself upright, the beast seemed to finally give up on the struggle, and so then it crumpled fully to the ground, hips hitting the earth with a powerful thud. ezekiel watched carefully as its respiration slowed, but did not wait or it to stop. the scavenger glided from his lookout and landed in front of the antler-adorned individual, and when it didn't move or protest at his cautious approach, the bearded vulture began to go in for his prize.



he would be brief with the animal. he'd get a bone he liked and then possibly drop it on a wolf head or two, and wait for the lupine creatures to tear it apart before he went back for more. it was about the only use the avian had for the pesky brutes nowadays was unearthing his meals from pounds of hot flesh. ezekiel attacked the leg, knowing the flesh would be thin around the broken area, and immediately it was as if the elk found enough energy to bugle and struggle at the arrival of new pain. the bird hopped out of kicking distance and then repeated the process of approaching and being driven back a time or so, chuckling darkly as it made more and more noise with every cry. though he was a little disappointed that he wouldn't been able to snag a snack before the mutts descended, ezekiel was satisfied that the deep, air-shaking calls would be enough to get the bovine killed. the merciless creature backed away with a crazed peal of laughter, retreating back to his perch in the trees and receding into the embrace of the shadows to wait.
