What Is Merely A Test

Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
An irritated sigh slipped from the maw of the massive beast. The tiger plodding away in frustration. The wolf population showed no signs of dwindling and it frustrated the great cat so much that his territory was seemingly invaded by the mongrels. He could not even bother the Ebony Queen with them, they were rogues near as his nose could tell. Of course his hearing was as keen as ever. He'd heard the challenge of the woman he'd formerly made a pact with but now that she was gone the pact no longer stood. Instead it seemed his neighbor, Ebony was with a new ruler. One he knew nothing off.
Orange and black slipped through the greenery, Sk?lingr did not even stop at the border. He simply marched right on through to the lake where he bent his head to slake his thirst. Ears twitched at a few flies but he paid them little heed. He supposed what he was doing could be considered dangerous but wolves needed to learn that they were not the only predators to wander Alacritis. Satisfied the striped behemoth flopped down under a nearby oak tree to rest in the shade, his jade eyes sharp and alert.
"Speech"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And echoed in the wells of silence
