Obi would have never thought he would be sneaking out of the pack lands to try to save a pup who was supposed to be culled against the wishes of his master. The pup had never been anointed. It didn't have a name. It had no claim to godhood other than its blood which was not a sole indicator of godhood by any means. He couldn't understand why it had to die, but he could understand why it needed to be culled. It was... conflicting to say the least. He knew why Tox couldn't do a traditional culling since she lacked the backing of her sister and pack. It would likely be shot down and the measly pup given a chance at godhood which would surely fail and anger Abraxas further. However, what if the pup never was a god? What if it was just a weak mortal pup? Then, in Obi's opinion, it had no reason to die. Toxicity had answered her godly calling. She did what Abraxas would have wanted and completed the culling to the best of her abilities without being able to be tracked by the pack. Now Obi, with no such obligations could perhaps come upon this pup as a mortal. Say, taking it down from the tree gently. Leading it back to a mysteriously killed mother coyote to offer a new suckling. After that, he could delve into the other lands and search for a surrogate. Someone who could take the pup and nurse it up as a single pup- perhaps even their own- as a mortal. Yes, that was entirely possible. So Obi, pup tucked safely like a football in his arms, was whisked through the forest in search of a surrogate. |
