Into the night

As Artorias flew suddenly towards him, Mercury rose up and leaned to the side. The two wolves collided together, and by sheer luck more than anything else, the Ermis was able to shift his body and use Art’s momentum against him. Throwing Art to the ground, and Mercury falling on top of him. Scooping up a fistful of snow, Mercury smeared it across the blue wolf’s forehead and grinned down at him. The clear winner of the unexpected bout.

He groaned and shifted to his toes and stood up, holding out a paw to help Art to his paws. “Thanks, I think I needed that” he admitted. The chance to let loose had been invigorating. It had helped him forget, if just for a moment, why he wondered the night restlessly.
