Clash of Antlers

It wasn’t here yet but with each day that passed, Kyren could tell that winter was getting a bit closer.  The bite of the wind was a little more lately and his coat was growing denser in preparation.  His antlers were fully grown in for the time being though their days were limited till they would fall off again.

It was a good day, despite the chill of the wind the sun was present and warmer.  Antlers would be gone soon and he hadn’t spent much time using them and the reindeer felt restless.  Moving into a long-legged stride trot he headed towards where he had last seen Rannoch.  

“Hey kid,” the ‘kid’ was said in a friendly tone, it was just nice having someone younger than him the way Oscar always called him kid.  “How about we have a go at it?” Kyren lowered his antlers and gave them a little shake.  The ‘kid’ was larger than him so one had experience and the other had size.  “Thing your up for a skirmish?”
