Persistence

Prompt: Persistence



I am the last of my kind. The last of a line of sagely leaders. Once we hunted the mystical and nigh indomitable Wendigos. Now we have fallen to their prey. Our packs easily outsmart their smaller parties but our fangs have failed to pierce and rend their steel. I am alone, leading my grey cousins. Their magic has wiped many of us away but they can never follow too far into the cold north, the biting winds keeping them grounded, and the frozen ground killing all but the sturdiest plants.

They have forgotten the wild ways trading them for metal sticks that spew fire and smoke. These have taken many of us, but we still hold our Territory. We will not show our stomachs. This is our hunting grounds and we hunt still.
