Gods Among Wolves

Patrols weren't the most mentally taxing of activities, and while he took care to be consistently watchful and constantly sampling scents along the border, alert for anyone who had passed too near it or for the scents of other predators near that might need diverting, it still left much time for reflection and planning, and he was thus deep in thought when Eligos unexpectedly came upon a... horse. Standing there, upon the border, and not by accident either. The stallion, gold toned and black as Eli himself was but in reverse, seemed very aware of itself and its proximity to the border. Eligos, inured to prey-scent had been ignoring it as he approached in the expectation that it would simply flee his presence and so paying it no mind, was therefore very startled to have come around a bush and come face to face with it. He was himself quite tall for a wolf, more the size of a pony than an ordinary wolf, but a full sized stallion still had him craning his head back to look up at it as he froze, puzzled by its behavior.
