Second times the charm

Mercury took to racing along the beach quite often as his body recovered. Building up his strength and working on his endurance. He had a few days of peace along the dark sand, before a familiar sound caught his ears. It seemed the hyenas hadn’t run as far as they had thought. Perhaps they were hanging around, keeping an eye out for an easy victim. He raised his head, and let out a soft howl for Keahi before he even caught sight of them.

He didn’t know if they were hunting him, and it didn’t matter. If they were sticking around pack lands looking for easy pickings, then he felt it was his duty to kill them. He owed that to the pack that had let him recover in its borders.
