Scheming took up much of his time here in the Taiga. Gathering the misfits of Beqanna, one at a time, he patrolled the radial area of their compound. Seeking entertainment mostly, his heavy feathered limbs brushed through the deadened needles. The crackling beneath his hooves hindered his stealth but there wasn't much he could do about it.
