SILVER TEETH IN SHADOW | Murder

[Luciferr]

I ADMIRE IT'S PURITY

/idk slight gore warning? just in case I guess.

it had been an easy thing,

even as pitiful enemy-hive feared them, they still let their enemy-prey roam free and alone more often than accompanied - but for all that Blacktide was affronted at enemy-hive's stupidity, he saw its opportunity and found that he reaped the rewards well enough, if enemy-hive would be stupid then Blacktide would take his due.

it was why now a Gorey viscera stained the snows, insides strewn outward from the fallen prey - the big cat had been easy to surprise, nobody ever thought to look upwards when they were so assured that nothing above was equal in predation.

foolish, Blacktide chittered at the memory.

for now the xenopanther was happily chewing on the juciest of organs torn from the corpse - the snows would preserve the corpse from rot, so the beast took its time taking from the frozen screaming gaze of the dead snowbounder, it's last moment hadn't been kind - liver first and then the once beating life and then followed by the various other organs and viscera.

he'd progress to the muscle and flesh then - the last would be the bones, his teeth as strong as a hyena's jaws, for nothing would be wasted, there would only be fur or skin left perhaps in the end.

for now the chittering eyeless creature happily ate, bladed tail curling in the snows behind him as a content purr left the alien beast.
