Early summer, Year 756 of the New Age.
Silverthorne, Silver Vale

Zeus breathed hard as he crashed through the trees and
entered the area known as Silver Vale. He still felt the fear in
his heart after his encounter with the crazed wolf. Only barely
had he escaped.

Happy to see more familiar grounds, he paused and rested
his tired body against a tree, when a dark male voice spoke
to him: “Let me guess, you’ve been playing chase with the
wolves, aye?”

Zeus looked up, surprised to find the large stag, Zeke,
watching him with a humorous light in his eyes.

“There weren’t supposed to be wolves out there,” Zeus said
without thinking further about the joke itself. He was still too
scared. “I went to the Ash plains. And a wolf attacked me!”

Zeke stood thinking for a while, a serious arch on his
forehead. “We had better get moving... they’re likely to be
still searching for you. Wolves aren’t taken to losing prey.”

“But!” Zeus jumped after the other stag on tired legs. “There
was only one, and I’m sure it was alone. It was crazed, I
swear! I think it must have followed me from the woods.”

Zeke stopped to take in the words. “What do you propose
we do then? We can’t let it wander, the day is growing to it’s
prime, it’s getting warmer, and the does will be taking the
fawns out of the camp to play soon. Fawn’s are too precious
a commodity to lose at this point to be reckless with a hungry
canine about.”

Zeus sighed, feeling even more tired … and small. “Well, I
guess … we could tell the generals to be on a lookout. But to
be honest I’d much prefer my father not hearing about it. So
…” The fawnling looked up, fear reaching his eyes once again
of the bare thought. “I guess we should kill it. Now.”

Zeke shuttered, looking rather excited. Zeus would never
understand the other stag’s lust for a good chase or a kill.

“Or at the very least chase it back to the plains!”, Zeke said,
already scouting for the crazed wolf.

“I think I left it a little while back,” Zeus explained. “I knocked
it over with my horns out on the plains, that is how I
managed to escape. It lay still a while, but then followed me.
But it moves slow now, so it won’t be too near yet. But … if
we just chase it off, I guess the generals would still need to
know?”

“We’ll chase it away from the herdlands before we kill it, if the
Generals find the body we’ll be in hot water.” Zeke replied,
then starting towards the Ash Plains in a easy canter. Zeus
sighed. Then followed on tired legs.
