fire & ice

Though Emiko followed not far behind him at all, the smoke and flame coated wolf could barely hear her over the roar of winds and sea which whipped all around him. His own ears were pinned against his skull, protecting them from the snow and ice burrowing inside of them. Out here on this thin stretch of land, salty waters lapped around them, reaching for them, eager to claim their next victims.

He turns his head round, bright yellow pools in slits as he struggled to find his black and white coated companion even as she was so near. He sees her and moves towards her, finding himself pressing his black and gray coat to her white and black one. Thought she was average in wolf size, she was little compared to his own self and he hoped that maybe closer together he could help to shield her from the winds. Though young, Enenra had already inhabited a chivalrous manner which was benefitting to a older and knowledgable gentleman. That and perhaps together they might have a better grip on the ground under them.

"I dont know!" He screams out to her with his native tongue. Another heavy wind hits and his nails dig at the salt and ice bifrost, clinging on best he could. This was only and ever his first time leaving his homeland, something which he wasnt sure was the best idea or not. With the coming of Spring (though it sure didnt feel like it) he had just turned two. His skills when it came to navigation were quite horribly limited. All he had known was that Auster no longer could give them what they needed to survive. They had to move on, go elsewhere. The only option they had was up.

So he pressed further still and after some time, he thought they might have been close to the end of the bridge which connected the southern isle to the north. Dark shapes were in the distance, shapes which he would soon to come to realize were trees. "Cover ahead!" He calls out yet again to his companions, unknowing if they could hear him, unknowing that one of them had fallen behind...
