So we all burn together

Aureus broke his head above the water and quickly stood. It ran in rivulets down his pelt, taking the mud with it from his gallant hunt. Shaking his coat out he climbed onto the shore and poked lightly at the goose he'd managed to seize from the lake. He found he could whittle away the hours hunting. Aureus settled down and began to pluck out feathers. Kali rested under the shade of a large tree, stretched out on the lowest branch. His left ear flicked at the sound of Aureus emerging from the water. One gold eye peered at him for a moment before closing. This was the life!
He was well into his meal when he heard his brothers call. Aureus didn't hesitate, he looked up to his brother and knew that Pyrrhic was always one to host a good time. Aureus grabbed what was left of his meal and headed toward the call. Kali, far more slowly, stretched and followed in pursuit.
When Aureus arrived he was pleased to see it was mostly the younger members that had show up first. He was a yearling now and he could feel the pressure hanging over the new generation to step up and become a fully functioning part of Abraxas society. The problem was Aureus didn't really know where he wanted to go. He knew he wanted to be a fighter. He was good at fighting. While many might expect him to be a rival for the position of heir, Aureus had no such desire to rule. He knew his brother was the best for the job and would chew the nose off anyone who said otherwise. Perhaps he should pray to Abraxas later for guidance. Something, any sort of hint would help. Though he never was the best at figuring out what that all meant. It was more the work of his mother and Ashiel. They could interpret the signs that he couldn't.
Aureus dropped his meal and grinned at his brother. "What do you have in store for us, brother?"
