Nau

Nau loped in with a veering, unsteady gate. White cloth-like material shown boldly against his side, stained with crimson and the human scent. The wolf didn't walk much further before he collapsed in a thicket of twisted, bare brambles. He shuffled further into the thick bunch of dead plants until they surrounded him, and made him feel safe. Snow that had been disturbed in his passing settled down over and around him again. His heavy eyelids slowly came down to a close. Nau's breath came shallow and slow... then ceased all together.
