To the deep, scattered tracks in the dirt—large, heavy prints, broken foliage, torn soil. His eyes narrowed.
Mammoth tracks.
Dozens of them.
He crouched down slowly, his anger twisting into suspicion.
"wait..Why… were mammoths even here?"
His voice was low now, almost to himself.
The air grew still.
Everyone around him fell silent.
Veer stood back up, his brows furrowed. The mammoths never crossed this part of the territory. They never ventured near the sheep-tribe, much less storm straight into a battlefield between two deadly enemies.
Why here? Why now?
It wasn't coincidence.
His eyes narrowed into slits.
Something—or someone—drew them here.
But who?
As night fell, the forest slowly sank into silence.
