It was a nice day - just a slight breeze to take away from the heat the sun on a midnight black pelt. The wind coursed through his fur, relieving him so much that he was able to ignore the fact that it would be ruffled and tangled after all of his hard work. He made his way slowly toward the river, right on schedule as his stomach began to gently rumble. There was always food near the river, always. And if he couldn't find small game at least there were fish in abundance.

Erebos padded carefully to the water's edge, glancing around him to see if any other animals were in view. None. He sighed, bothered that there wasn't easy prey available. Fishing was not his forte. As he peered through the surface of the shallows, the distortion of the water made it difficult for him to tell whether the fish swimming around were real or not. He glanced up at the shark that rose from the gloom and engulfed the fish in his mouth, only to watch them reappear when the beast dove down again. Yep, they were real.

The brute waded in, letting the water engulf his legs below the knee. He focused on one sizable swimmer, and watched it for several long minutes. Memories of fishing with his father attempted to creep back into his mind in the lull, but he forced them out. There was no good reason to think of his family now, after so long. He didn't need them. He never would.

Ice blue eyes zeroed in as soon as the fish ceased moving. This was the time. He swiftly snatched the fish up in his teeth and tossed it onto the shore, following it out a moment after. Patiently he waited for it to still before proceeding to peel the outer layer off little by little. Once this one was ready, he would go back for another. Erebos knew the process would likely take hours, but it would be good to have a store of ready food for the day. If only he had someone to share it with...
