Now where might one find a wolf? Something twinges painfully in Halo’s heart at the thought of having to take another’s life for the sake of a quest; even a predator’s life is of great value. But it is for the best, is it not? He needs a wolf’s claw so that he might be able to advance in his quest and he might be able to gain the means to protect those he loves. Sacrifices have to be made, though Halo would much prefer it to be him making these sacrifices.
The stallion wanders through Black Hills in search of the canine victim, all the while with a heavy heart but fierce determination, also. Oh, that isn’t to say he isn’t a little discouraged, as he’s been searching for quite some time for a wolf. This is one elusive piece to the puzzle. But a lone howl coming through the hills has his ears perked, head turning so that his gaze is in the direction of the cry. How do you sneak up on a wolf? It isn’t like equines have such great stalking skills...they’re horses, for crying out loud. How much stalking do you have to do to sneak up on a blade of grass or an apple?
But he has to try and try he will. Thankfully the beast isn’t paying him any attention as he walks around the hill, too busy with the meal he has made of a lean rabbit. Taking a deep, quiet, and steadying breath, Halo tries to steel his nerves as he approaches the poor being. Biting his lips he mutters a pitiful apology before bursting forth and quickly stomping on the wolf’s neck, quickly crushing its life out before it has suffered too greatly. “My apologies, dear wolf. If it had been my choice you would have never had to die.”
He frowns and reaches down to take one of its claws. Only one more item to get and then he’ll be granted his request. He’ll need some help with this one. The place where he must go is forbidden to stags so he’ll need to find a mare who may be willing to go into Winter Forest to collect the two ice leaves he requires. Hopefully Flying Heart, his love, will help him out. But he’s sure someone will be willing to give him aid.
