There's a snake in my boot

It had started out with a twinge in his ear that he couldn't shake. He ignored it for a day and woke up with a splitting ache throughout the extremity. Rubbing his paw against it did little to rid him of the pain and he would finally reach the conclusion he needed a healer. He couldn't concentrate with the constant ache attacking him and he knew his mood throughout the day had simply gotten darker and darker. Snapping at gale was the last straw for him - he loved his little gust of wind and with a nuzzle of apology he went in search of Terrea.

It was about midday on a mild winter day when he trudged through the soft layer of snow to poke his head into the healers den he would discover that his brother wasn't home. Already sick of the ache in his ear he lifted his head and howled for his younger sibling, adding lior into the call for good measure, whatever healer was available would hopefully be able to fix whatever it was that was driving him mental.
