Commonality

Kione had been on the border of aspen damn and the berry grove along with his two mastiff companions.  He had smelled bear but it was an old scent.  The wild dog had been just about to continue on the hunt for the bear when he heard Scylla’s call.  The fun game of bear-killing would have to wait for another time.  Lifting his head up Kione let out his own higher-pitched call to let her know he was on his way.  

Kione ran with long strides and a bit of a bounce to his step.  Both his mastiffs ran behind him, they would start to fall behind then Kione would slow a few strides, once they were again with him the run continued faster.  Coming up he spotted Scylla with the stranger and slowed his gate. “Hey, lil ‘sis.  Whatcha up to?”

A second later he got a better look at the head dangling from the gold wolf’s neck, “Well, well, a new friend and new trophy?”  Kione offered a bob in greeting to Athena, “hello luv, I’m Kione.”
