The Protector


His white muzzle is concealed in crimson The rogue at his feet heaves its last breath Sure of its death he limps away Back to his pack He must defend them Whatever the cost Blood drips from a leg Leaving a trail of rubies He throws up his head And releases a long triumphant howl For his victory His pack And the death that lies behind him
