Hidden in the Unknown

Traveling out across the dunes was something the tall, dark beast was never really certain of doing previously- but with the light rain gracing drizzling across the sands and the sun hid behind the much-appreciated coverage of clouds, Elias decided to take advantage and familiarize himself with more of the west. He was sure not every wolf that resided out here in the west would be thrilled about him taking up residence, but.. all that really mattered to him was the approval of one in particular.

His journey here with his son Kane had been long, leaving him with a dire need for some sort of substantial meal. He was not too sure what creatures would lurk out past the dunes, but there had to be something- and perhaps for looking in such an uncommon choice for hunting grounds, he would have little to no competition for taking down something if he found it.

Along the way, he'd managed to catch a lizard hiding in the shrubbery at the base of a cactus. It was only a snack and left him wanting more, but he could already feel the nutrients doing wonders as he continued on through the light rain. He was accumulating sand around his long limbs, it clung to his short fur and embedded itself there but he paid it no mind. His toes seemed permanently splayed as he trekked through the awkward terrain of sand dunes, and he was just beginning to feel a minor yet annoying burn in his legs when the sight of trees and a green little nook at the base of the desert mountains unveiled itself.

It was so small he was surprised his luck allowed for him to find such an oasis, but something told him that if anything else was surviving out here in the serenity of the desert- it would be at this oasis. For miles, the imprint of the rain droplets from the earlier heavier rain were the only tracks he'd been able to read in the sand... but through the misting rain that showered down on him now, he was able to see the clear trail of what he knew to be the hooves of some sort of deer. A mule deer, if he remembered correctly.

He stood there with his red eyes peering down to the long trail that clearly led into the oasis, uncertain on whether or not he should spend the energy pursuing the deer. It seemed big, and although he was a behemoth of a wolf himself, he was unsure if he had the energy to take it down alone.
