Winter 10, 511, just before dawn.
When Mok opened his eyes for the first time that morning, he jumped to his feet faster than ever before. He was a petching idiot. All he needed was to fall asleep and get slaughtered by the wolves. Luckily for him, the wolves had retreated for now. The myrian was truly relieved that he had bloodied them enough to make them retreat. They were desperate though and would probably be waiting for another opportunity to ambush.
The myrian would not have it though. Without a second thought, the warrior made up his mind. He would find and kill the wolves’ top dog. He would kill their leader and exact revenge on them. Why was he doing this? Because he wanted to. He had one life to live and he would not compromise for anything that tried to kill him. He would return for blood and flip the tables onto the wolves themselves.
Now it was Sapphire and Mok's turn to become hunters. End of discussion. Mok had no more doubts in his mind about the task that was now at hand.
Making his way to the wolf carcass, the myrian let the sleeping kelvic regain her strength. He would not disturb here while she rested. For he knew that the tiger would join him on his wolf hunt. It would surprise him much if she didn't.
Mok went to work right away skinning the body. He needed something to pass the time and a wolf pelt was always useful for the cold.
The myrian wasn't the best at skinning, but he had learned the basic techniques as a kid in Taloba. Hacking off the legs of the wolves with his gladius, Mok went to work. Next the warrior inserted the tip of his gladius just deep enough to pierce the hide only. He really wished he had a smaller knife. Trying to skin this motherpetcher with a gladius was harder than it looked. The myrian needed to use the steadiest of hands to make sure he got a clean cut.
The clean cut didn't happen though. With only a sword at his disposal, the myrian ended up ripping the skin off and not cutting it. During this process he cut into the ribcage and stomach, producing all of the bile liquid stored inside the carcass.
Ignoring the mess, Mok made another incision across the hind legs through the anus. There were definitely more delicate ways to preserve the skin, but the myrian didn't care about looks. He just wanted a pelt to keep himself warm. Flipping the dead animal over, Mok proceeded to remove the skin. Starting at the back, he slowly peeled up. After a few moments, Mok saw that it was coming off easy. Within a minute, he had pulled off nearly all of it.
Now it was time to remove the skin over the head. This would normally be one of the most delicate parts, but right before he decided to do the deed, Mok changed his mind and immediately cut the skin behind the neck. There was no need to keep the face intact. This was no prize, but only a pelt he would use for warmth.
Leaving nothing behind but a scrawny ball of muscle and guts, Mok spread the pelt over a clean rock letting the drying process begin.
Mok then took a break to watch the rising sun from Sapphires side...
