Test of the Mind
The first winter had been one of mixed emotions for the child born within the summer months. White stuff all over the ground, cold to the touch and falling from the sky. Many hours were spent running through and rolling in what she learned was snow, but quickly discovered the bad side to such weather. Toes would freeze and food became scarce, having to skip meals when her mother was unable to successfully catch prey. But they were able to make it, surviving the harsh winter months. But sadly the life of the girl's mother would be cut down by illness, leaving the child to begin her journey.
And now it would be her second winter, but sadly there was no assistance. She had to work with the lessons she had been taught, try to work on that survival and better her skills. It wasn't a lot but it was definitely enough to not die within a week.
Not long after waking from her slumber the young girl had squeezed out from her den, hidden beneath a fallen tree and packed with dirt before the ground had froze with winter. With the bit of knowledge she had, the grey wolf had settled in the southern forest of the range, barely any scents of others besides small prey. She moved slowly through the trees, taking this time to learn and pay a close eye to the surroundings. The girl would look for any signs of others closing in, while also trying to find signs of prey that have passed by recently. |
