False Paradise

He had slipped away, wanting time away from the fading scents of the pack lands. He didn't know where they were going to go. Riv was still recovering from battle and Jackson was getting antsy. He didn't want to leave his brother yet he didn't want to sit around forever with no purpose to life. He hadn't bothered to bring it up to Riv because in all honesty he was sure the others who stayed were already bringing these questions up to him. He didn't want to fallow in the same paw steps as the others, he knew when Riv had plans on his next move that he would seek out Jackson and tell him about it. He knew that Riv wouldn't leave him in the dust because too many family members have already done that to the both of them. Although without the pack Jackson had grown lazy, sure he made sure the small few were fed, but what was the sense in keeping track of any herds when catching rabbits was sufficient enough. Going Lazy had even made the boy slightly depressed and the thoughts of what future may lie ahead drove him deeper into it.

This is why he slipped away and went to a new territory, just for a day. He just needed to see, smell, and hear something different. Hoping this would help him out of his dampened mood and hoping that maybe a new face would come along. Maybe in a little he would get up and do his best to search for some plants for Armai, but for now he rested in the soft sands of the shore under a shaded tree.
