Cormalin

The flinch wasn?t unnoticed, but he also noticed that Tyr was paying more attention to him, and was concentrating just enough to not be as terrified. ?Yes. I?m her brother. I used to be Beta before the war with Glaciem. My niece, Surreal is the Beta Primary now. I trained her myself.? He added proudly as he answered Tyr?s stammered question of his lineage. Tyr?s eyes seemed to clear, then cloud with self-loathing. Cormalin nudged him lightly on the shoulder with his nose as the boy spoke. ?Hey now, none of that. I knew a female, Iroila. She was crippled in the same leg you were. Granted, she was injured fighting as a young wolf, but she didn?t let it stop her. She adapted. She was also blind in one eye. My pack was massacred by our enemy, Blackmoon Pack. Iroila was old, crippled, half blind, but she still brought down three enemy wolves before she died. You can get past your disabilities, if you just let yourself grow.? His baritone voice was warm and gentle, mismatched eyes liquid gold and sapphire locking with the green and gold eyes of his pupil. ?There is nothing you can?t do if you just try.?

As Tyr rose, Cormalin stood beside the male, noting that he?d caught some of what Cormalin had said. ?Very good. Flatten your ears, and square out your hind paws.? Cormalin lifted one front paw, the same paw that Tyr was crippled in, holding it to his breast. ?You tend to rest your weight on your pelvis, to keep your balance, so there?s an advantage right there. Your weight will coil your hind leg muscles, and if you want to lunge forward, the strength there will propel you more quickly.? He smiled at the young male. ?Now try lowering your head to level with your shoulders. This protects your throat further. Roll your shoulders forward. This will protect your neck well from side attacks.?
