Down, down, down

Should make an list of Eclipse's Near-Suicides XD. Let me know if this post is hard to work with! +5

As the axe withdrew from the earth, the warrior gripping it tightly in his right hand again, the warrior side of him felt renewed - invigorated. A warrior was nothing without his weapon, though his body was certainly one of them. It was the nature of things, practically born with axe in hand. For a moment the warrior closed his single eye, breathing deep through his nostrils and letting a silent moment pass. He was sure this action of saving a possibly unwanted pup's life was looked down on by the gods, which now made Viking all the more aware of signs. Changes in the wind, paths he crossed, animals that may or may not be brought down by his ferocity. Gods usually left signs of either their displeasure, amusement, or favor in these ways and more, and made the giant's blood rush and his senses awaken as if from an ancient sleep.

The armor clad beast's eye winced, distorting his face and looking even more grotesque in the process. The cause of it? The pup's squeaking. What was it still doing here? Slowly, the bone washed male turned his face over his right shoulder, right eye bearing down on the small fuzzball. Ears flattened against his braided head at the word 'monster' which came from the pup's almost incoherent babbling. He had a vague idea of what it meant in the English language, and it didn't sound good. For just a moment, the warrior felt a pang deep in his built and beaten chest, before anger bubbled up. However, there was just no need to exert effort or rage on a small, helpless animal. Any other warrior would have turned and sliced the pup in half for talking back, but this pup was yet young, and had much to learn in the world. Viking was not about to silence it.

A grunt came from his throat instead, narrowing his ruby eye down at the pup. He hoped it would be enough to scare the pup away. King wasn't going to eat what in the 'Band they call a chew toy; the male did his part in freeing it and even sparing its life. There was nothing more for the large beast to do but continue on his own way. This pup had guts though, the male had to silently admit, as the male slung the weapon over his shoulder once more, turning in the direction he came from. As the young female wolf spoke again, the side of the warrior's lip curled upwards, beginning to bare teeth, before he hid them from view again.

Silently the male took a step forward back in the direction he came from, before hearing the calls. It was bad enough he rescued the pup (though personally he didn't feel guilty), but surely its parents weren't far, and were sure to confront the giant if they came onto the scene. With his free left hand he moved his fingers a couple times at the pup, trying to shoo it away and indicating for it to go back where it came from. The earth trembled under the warrior's weight again, as the warrior turned and began to walk away from the scene.
