Each adventurer was entitled to their own mount, it seemed. And Takakage had been lucky enough to obtain one from the farm itself. People had to go to great lengths to capture one of wild origin. The owner of the farm had left him with instructions on how to take care of it - though, a name still eluded him.
The avian looked at him with large, innocent eyes. It was still young, and a little jittery - but calm enough to tolerate his presence. He scratched it absent-mindedly under the chin, letting his mind wander a little.

The ice bolts converged upon the monster, sending it off course. It crashed off to the side of the path, but quickly picked itself up, baring its fangs in a snarl.
Two other wolves emerged from the bushes, echoing the first wolf's growl.
