Zariel walked alone through the dark woods, the only sound the crunch of leaves and pine needles under his feet. The night air was cool against his fur, but it did little to soothe the heat still burning in his chest.
He was embarrassed.
The fight with Roan replayed in his head on a loop, the way Roan had overpowered him, the way he’d been forced to yield, the way he’d stormed off like a sulking pup. An hour ago he would’ve been fuming. An hour ago he would’ve been convincing himself that Roan had only won because of some cheap trick. But now?
Now he just felt foolish.
He had been so certain of his own strength after the Temple. So certain that nothing could touch him anymore. And yet Roan had put him on his back without even drawing a weapon. The memory made his ears burn.
A small red dot suddenly appeared on his chest.
Zariel stopped walking. He stared down at the laser sight for a moment, then let out a short, humorless snicker and kept moving. He wasn’t in the mood to play games tonight. If someone wanted to shoot him, they could get on with it.
He heard the softest shift of weight behind him.
Before he could turn, cold metal pressed against the side of his throat.
“How can you be so casual,” a quiet voice asked, “when there’s a high-caliber rifle trained on your chest?”
Zariel didn’t move. For a second, the old version of him, the one from just a few hours ago, wanted to laugh in the stranger’s face and dare them to pull the trigger. But that version felt pathetic now. Instead, he spoke calmly.
“You’re very quiet,” he said. “I didn’t hear you at all until you were already behind me. That’s impressive.”
The pressure of the blade eased slightly.
A moment later, another figure emerged from the trees ahead, rifle still raised. A leopard, tall, trim and ridiculously fit even under the tactical gear. Scars marked his arms and the side of his neck, and a faint blue glowing emblem was branded onto his left cheek, shaped like a stylized tear. It pulsed softly in the dark.
The leopard kept his rifle trained on Zariel as he approached, but his stance relaxed when he got a better look at him.
“ ... You’re one of Roan’s,” the leopard said after a moment. “Zariel, right? We’ve got files on the main pack members.”
Zariel gave a small nod. “That’s me.”
The blade finally pulled away from his throat. The fennec fox stepped around to stand beside the leopard, knife still in hand but no longer pressed to Zariel’s skin. He was smaller than the leopard; lean and sharp-featured, with large fennec ears that twitched constantly. There was something undeniably attractive about him in a lithe, twinkish way. Zariel found himself noticing the way the moonlight caught on the edges of those big ears, and he had to shift his big frame a bit to hide his interest.
The leopard lowered his rifle. “I’m Lir. This is Remi. We’re part of the resistance detail assigned to watch the perimeter around the pack house and the new territory lines. Sorry for the scare.We didn’t recognize you at first in the dark.”
Zariel studied them both for a moment. Serious, business like demeaner, similar to Z’s own perhaps, they like what they do and are in their element out here. And they looked capable and dangerous enough to be worth having around.
“It’s fine,” Zariel said. He rolled his shoulder, still feeling the ache from his fight with Roan, another puzzling and humbling thing ... Zariel didn’t know how he could be aching... “I probably looked like trouble.”
“You did,” Remi said bluntly. His voice was lighter than Zariel expected, almost teasing despite the situation. “Walking around like you didn’t have a sniper on you? Most people would’ve frozen.”
Zariel gave a small, tired smile. “An hour ago I probably would’ve. Guess I’m learning.”
Lir and Remi exchanged a glance but didn’t push. Instead, Lir nodded toward the trees.
“We’ve been keeping an eye on the new territory lines the resistance has been setting up,” he said. “Making sure no one slips through while things are still getting organized.”
Zariel caught the slight tension in Lir’s voice when he mentioned the territory. It seemed like a touchy subject. He didn’t press.
Instead, he glanced at Remi. “I’ve heard fennecs can do magic. The kind that gets ... intense.” Zariel smiled a bit despite himself. He knew what kinda intense use for magic he was thinking about.
Remi’s ears flicked back immediately. His expression shuttered.
“I don’t do magic,” he said flatly.
Zariel raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue. Clearly a sore spot with the fennec, or a lie.
For a while they just talked, or at least tried to. Lir was polite but distant, especially whenever the conversation drifted too close to anything personal. Remi was sharper, quicker to deflect, especially when Zariel lightly brought up magic again. It was obvious neither of them liked being asked too many questions.
Zariel couldn’t help daydreaming about looking down and seeing big fennec ears and a little yellow-white muzzle bobbing on his cock, or a sleek leopard ass and toned back, slamming back on his meat, watching it dissappear into dangerously hot curvy ass. He shook those thoughts away.
Eventually Zariel mentioned his own power in passing, keeping his tone neutral.
“I’ve got Iron Skin,” he said quietly. “Thought it made me untouchable for a while. Turns out that’s not quite how it works.”
Lir studied him for a moment, then gave a small nod, like he understood more than he was saying.
“The Trials,” the fennec buts in, “not what they are cracked up to be sometimes. They believe it’s based on the soul’s potential, one wolf I knew completed the trials and all he got from it was the ability to grow a nice winter coat at will ... no joke ... useless. At least it seems you hit a decent lottery, if you can’t even be bothered by blades and bullets.”
“The Temple sits on the edge of the Void, a place you never, ever want to go. Trust us,” Lir said, and his cheek scar seemed to pulse a more vibrant blue to highlight his words. “The Void can be everywhere and nowhere, but wherever a Temple pops up, you can feel it just beyond the walls, like you’re in a stone space shuttle and the coldness of space is inches away.”
“I take it you’ve run the Trials, Leopard?” Zariel asks.
“I have,” Lir says. “But don’t bother asking what my abilities are...”
“Abilities?” Zariel asked. Plural!?
Lir gave him a look like ‘come on man, I just said I don’t wanna talk about it’
“Lir got something extra from the Trials, rare,” Remi said, his big ears twitching. “Live long enough in this war and we might see it.”
War? Calling this a war, now. Zariel’s heart sank a bit. It’s getting serious more than he knows.
