Two Sides of a Coin

The season was a bitterly cold one this year, and he supposed it was a good thing he didn't return to Winterfell. To be fair though, he didn't really have a reason to return. His brother had left while he was serving with Hjarrandi. It left a bitter taste in his mouth, an empty feeling in his chest. He had always supported his brother and always welcomed him with open arms...but no matter what, his brother seemed to be pulled away by whatever forces deemed it necessary. So instead of returning after his Osprey brought him the news, he opted to go on his own for a while. He felt alone despite having family in the North and likely others scattered throughout the lands...but he was never as close to any of them as he had been to his late mother and his brother Tyranis. They kept his mind...clear. Or at least, clearer than he could ever keep it when he was alone.

His paws moved quietly on the snow-dusted ground, his companion flying high above his head as he kept his eyes peeled for any prey. Cloud hadn't eaten for a day now, but it wasn't for lack of prey to find. It was more the fact he just wasn't feeling too hungry when his thoughts decided to turn over to those who had left him yet again. But now as his stomach rumbled, he knew he should eat. Winter was hard enough, he didn't want to find himself in a position that he could have avoided. As he walked under the dim shadow of the raptor, he heard a call that indicated the bird had his eye on something and he glided ahead. Cloud following his direction.
