Night was rarely quiet in the grasslands surrounding the Heart. Moonless but still the flickering orange of the fires shed light on the grasses, the occasional flash of a set of eyes a mere hint of the creatures hiding where a full grown horse might. Chattering could be heard from all over, animals without the need to hibernate through Frostfall because of the warmth provided, and stranger noises still beyond those.

But they all quieted when the cackling started. It was low and distant at first, a warning of what would come, and it grew quickly. They raced over the grass, streaking figures of black smoke drawn to the light of the fire - their raucous laughter echoing through the flat landscape and down into the caves below.

They had a prize.

In one dripping mouth was carried an egg, a solid rich tan, muffling the laughter of its bearer. It hadn’t been easy to snatch away this egg, the other two they had sought had been dropped and smashed in the process. The displeasure of the loss was displayed by the smoking teeth and claw marks on the two smaller hyenas, the wounds billowing a deep red smoke. But at least they had this prize, this one small feast to celebrate the slaying of the lions in their den. The yellow eyes of the leader flashed in the firelight as she laid it down on the earth, nudging it roughly with her muzzle before laughing with her brothers.

In the light of the Heart they were incorporeal, nothing but shimmering figures as they danced around the prize to the sound of their malicious laughter.
