Never Enough

Aureus insisted on pushing himself through one more fight. He told himself that after this, after he returned home, he was going to speak to his father and request the rank of Lieutenant. In a few more seasons he was going to be two years old. He wanted to obtain the rank before his second birthday as a show of his skill in battle as well as his dedication. However, first he needed to find an opponent and a place to battle. The battlefields of Boreas were the natural choice. It was Borean wolves he was likely to battle and so they would make the best practice. He found a smooth plain and glanced at his companions who nodded back. They both approved of the space and so he tipped back his head and howled for an opponent.
