Upon Tenshi's signal, Roland tightened his grip around the trunk of an antler, heaving its great weight upwards and taking the first few steps back. Luckily for them, the campsite was not too far away. Of course, it could have been a more comfortable distance. The trek they would endure now was not as pleasing as hunting, but a necessary component of it.
Traveling like this, there was little room for words. Every now and then his eyes would flick up into Tenshi's, as if asking if she needed a break. After all, she'd done most of the heavy work. Roland, on the other hand, continued nonetheless; his momentary fatigue lessened after a while, having gotten used to the process as a hunter. Hm. This brought up a curious thought. Roland now wondered what duties Tenshi served the pack with; was she a hunter like himself? This wasn't doubtful.
After what seemed to be a very long time, they reached the edge of the camp at last. Grunting, and slightly filled with renewed strength at their entrance, Roland hauled his portion of the weight with Tenshi in tow into the center of the territory. Presently, he dropped it, a huff escaping his maw as he did so.

Rising onto my feet, I was left with nothing to
do but accept these inexplicable truths as my last source of comfort.
I wasn't dead. At least, I didn't think so. I don't remember how I got here, or why I came. I could possibly be dreaming, I suppose; that would explain the terribly strange occurrences that haunt every footstep taken in this place. The land itself is disorienting; the scents are dull and I'm beginning to forget things, like my name.
Rylan.
I hadn't lost it yet, the way I have already lost myself, and I can't seem to find a way home. Home. I need to go back, but somehow the task seems impossible. I don't even know which way to walk. I'm tired. And alone. And wet.
But I'm not afraid.➜ Servidae on deviantart.com :: Currently drawing. :: Offline.
