Mmmmmoose!

They drive it onward, the bull moose desperate to escape the two predators that have it hemmed in. A it runs, the creature spies the crumbled portion of wall and, unaware of the trap that lays in the snow-covered earth, leaps through the opening. Tove is close behind as the sound of bones snapping and pain filled screams fill the air and the two extremely different creatures fall on their prey. The cat goes for the kill as she said she would and the nebula wolf quickly jumps on the hind quarters to stop any errant hooves from flying toward the massive feline.

It shudders under their bodies as the moose’s life drains into the dirt flecked snow of their pit, the mighty struggle bleeding away into the earth. With one last twitch, the moose stills and the cat releases her death hold on the prey’s neck and moves away to flop heavily into a snow bank. Tove offers her impromptu hunting partner a dip of her scarred head and a short grunt of thanks. As the cat falls away into dreamland, the galaxy-cloaked wolf moves to one of the back legs of the moose. Working swiftly, she separates the leg from the creature’s body and eats her fill.

Once done, she looks to slumbering cat and licks her lips, grunting her thanks once more before disappearing into the snowy landscape.
