~ ZEV ~
Zev slept hard and woke with his body aching, tired from the fighting and carrying the supplies out to the cave before the Rite. A wolf's four-legged body wasn't accustomed to a backpack and bouncing weight.
The light in the cave was dim when he opened his eyes, initially giving him the impression it was still early, but his body clock argued. He'd slept in. Slept longer than usual after a late night. Blinking, he examined the ceiling of the ice-cave, and listened carefully.
There was virtually no sound from outside. Everything seemed dampened and distant. The storm must have come and snowed them in.
Zev smiled.
