Random prompt: You came across a large prey half-eaten, but seemingly left behind. You don't notice anyone else around, or any other predator within the vicinity.
Being on his own was certainly not something Icarus was a stranger to. He enjoyed spending time by himself and enjoyed the company of his own thoughts as they certainly were not as turbulent as he knew some others could be. Alas, that didn't stop the male from missing the presence of another nearby. Regardless of the reason for their attendance, he enjoyed all walks of life. He could find enjoyment even in the most serious wolves. But he had yet to come across another soul in some moons, and he feared he was going to go mad. The world was large and vast and he wanted to explore it all, but it was becoming quite a lonely prospect.
The blackened sire scoffed at his thoughts. How could he even begin to think of himself as lonely? Perhaps he was further gone than he thought, already arguing with the voice inside of his head. Luckily — or perhaps unluckily — the scent of a fresh kill wafted gently around his nose. He followed the scent near a small lake, a cozy little place where he would surely dip his paws in for a small wade. His grumbling stomach reminded him that he was on a trail, so he continued to weave through the woods. Not far from the shore was a large elk, the prize of his find. It was half-eaten, he could tell from a distance. Yet as his gaze scanned his surroundings, he couldn't spot the owner of such a kill. Nor were there any other kinds of predators he could see or smell.
Approaching cautiously, he lowered his head slightly to further inspect the potential meal. It was odd that it was left like this, but it didn't smell as though there was anything wrong with it. After another glance around him, Icarus reached down and took a small bite out of the carcass. It tasted just as fresh as it smelled, easing the hunger pains that had been rattling his stomach.
