Exploring we will go

"What do you think Rudy? I think it's close enough." Aerndis had been eyeing the island for awhile wondering how far it really was. It certainly didn't look that far. She could swim that. Pacing along the beach she gazed up at the eagle that had settled in the tree above her.

"I mean, you can probably make it but the snow hasn't even melted yet. Why would you want to swim in that?"

She grinned. "The spirit of exploration of course!"

With that Aerndis jumped into the water and began to swim. It didn't take long for her to arrive on the shore and as soon as she did she shook the water from her pelt and shuddered. Ok, it was still a bit cold but it was definitely worth it to explore this new island. She started walking along the beach when she spied a black and white wolf.

"Hey there! Are you a native of this island?" It hadn't occurred to her that some of these islands might have their own wolf populations.
