Loss upon loss, Azure was struggling with the realization that possibly he wasn't as powerful as he thought he was. After all, if he was even half as strong as he considered himself he would have been able to beat Indigo, or perhaps even the young girl from Abaven. Permanent reminders of his failures were notched into each ear, something he'd be forced to carry with himself for the rest of his life. Sirius did not have markings like he did, even though the warlord had been involved in countless battles he still came home unscathed.

Azure was taking advantage of the raid that was ongoing in the Tall Grass Plains. All his usual babysitters were currently occupied, his mother and father as well as their companions fought against Venom's intrusion, Resin was there too. Iolaire was setting up a station to heal wolves who may receive injury, and Deathbelle and Hannibal were both focused upon watching to see how the empire was managing - attackers and defenders alike. Nobody was there to notice his absence, and the first chance he got he snuck out of the territory.

The prince had heard mention of a battlefield that existed somewhere nearby, supposedly it was a place where wolves just showed up and found opponents to practice against. It would be perfect for him, he could train against someone who had no idea who he was and if he lost again... well, he could pretend it didn't happen. The tale wouldn't follow him home.

While not as directionally challenged as his mother, Azure was not an expert navigator in the slightest. He knew he should be walking north-west and once he got to the mountain range he would need to skirt closely around it as to not intrude on the nearby pack territory that was there. Then it would be as easy as looking for field and recognizing it as a place where a hundred battles had been fought. It didn't sound too difficult to Az. The walk only got more difficult however when the snow began to fall.

The blizzard would have forced him to return home, had this not been his only opportunity for unsupervised exploration. He'd never seen snow before nor been so cold in his life. The world around him seemed to change through the flurries, and he found navigating the way he'd expected to be impossible. Inhaling for a scent only forced cold air to fill his nose and the shock of it was painful. He could barely see three feet in front of his face. Azure followed the mountain as best he could, but with no way to know if he'd reached the Battlefield or perhaps even passed it.

"Hello?" He called out against the blizzard. "Is anyone there?"

Both of Azure's ears have notches and tears.
Az has a scar across his right eye, a mirror image of his natural born marking.
Azure has saber fangs, bone spurs on his elbows and knees, and the paws/forelimbs of a bear.
Not all of these features are always reflected in his art.

Azure's companions are a very big bat and a young clouded leopard, unless otherwise stated assume they're not with him.
