CHULANE
I believe that dreams are sacred
He let the energy of the moment fill him, let the gratitude wash over him - sent back his fair share too, in this rare and intense moment of friendship and comradery and shared grief. The hound and the moose gallivanted along, bellows and warnings given, and people scattered out of the way, though they made their sentiments known in the wake of the great beasts and their reckless race. Some were understanding, and laughed and cheered, a few others grumbled - others again just continued on their merry way, as if such an occurrence was not overly unusual or to be questioned.
Chulane himself wondered how he might've reacted, at any given point, he could've been any one of them. The thought amused him, as he continued onwards through the snow, rounding the corner and leaping over more stacked timber towards the field where Auni and Zuriel waited for them. Breath danced before him, snowy and misty, crashing over his body as his strong legs pushed onwards - he wasn't the most elegant of beasts but he could move when he wanted to. He was warmed and energised, and only just now finding his muscles tremoring with fatigue and aches from the effort.
But he would push on, push himself to his physical limit in this, dive wholly and completely into this distraction, this exercise that they both clearly needed. And when they approached the end point, he let loose a deep, long, triumphant bellow once more, no matter the outcome, he felt good for the first time in a long time, good enough to revel in it, to want to prolong it and celebrate it, no matter how fleeting it was. With a final toss of his great antlered head, he came to a huffing halt, slowing his pace to a trot first, before easing down to a standstill beside his friend, the mighty hound who had shared this day with him.
