Description
The winter night was brisk and cold, the silence was punctuated so it seemed to have a sound all its' own. The whisper of the wind in the high tree boughs, the world still, but watching. Eleweth picked delicately through the deep snow mounds, the crunch of it beneath her paws the most audible thing in the sleeping silent world.

Finally she sensed she was in that magical spot, where her voice would be heard by the cosmos themself. She took a deep breath arched her back, and howled. She howled a mournful wolf howl from deep in her soul. She voice billowed out of her in the form of chilled breath, calling out to the forces nestled in the air around her.

Slowly, her breath gained shape, her essence formed it's two main forms; a proud eagle that gave the world a silent but chilled cry in representation of winter and a wild dog that gracefully arced to the ground where it began to sprout the very first buds of spring from it's paws. This solitary song celebrated winter and wished it a good rest while at the same time welcoming in the spring.

This is Eleweth for 's Spring Contest.

This creature is Wolf, African Wild Dog, and Griffin, hence the strange anatomy, I chose to leave her dew clawless, like a true African Wild Dog, I hope that was okay! :3
