An Elephant Never Forgets

Tyrfing · 06-30-2022, 10:28 PM

Tyrfing was not taking losing Fireside very well. The pack had been all he'd known for years, the place to come home to and where he could always feel he belonged. The absence of it left him empty inside, emptier still as he was forced to watch members scatter off in search of new homes. Rather then choose one family member in particular to follow along behind, the young Finnvi had tried to take the change as an opportunity. In his two and a half years of life, he'd never felt the need to wander or stray. Curiosity had not taken him on any wild adventures, he'd stagnated and became complacent. Perhaps this was his Gods' will, to force him to break out of his comfort zone. Tyrfing was many things but never a coward, and so he headed out in search of whatever self-discovery he was meant to find. Along with him he had drug one of the Regni brood, Mitros, who had uncharacteristically strong words against becoming a pirate with the rest of his family.

The creature in the distance was absolutely fucking massive. It towered over anything he'd ever seen and by double the height at least. Instantly he remembered stories from when he was a pup, of the long winter and the mammoths that had come down from the ice bridge during it. Squinting out over the snow toward it, Tyrfing tried to remember what exactly made a mammoth a mammoth.. he could have sworn it had been described to him as an elephant, but woolier. This creature had no visible fur, so perhaps it wasn't a mammoth at all and was in fact the smaller cousin 'elephant.' If smaller could be used to describe it at all.

Already a wolf was present, studying the creature with interest. Tyrfing was not put off by her presence, accepting easily that it would take more then just himself and the near-yearling with whom he travelled to bring the beast down. "Greetings." He murmured, keeping his voice low as to not alert the strange creature. "He's marvelous, isn't he? Would you mind terribly if we joined you?"

"Speech"
"Thinking"
"You."
