If there was one strange place that Kar was not all familiar with it was the ocean. The large expanse of blue-green water seemed to go on for miles and miles... though it was what he could see besides the water that awakened his curiosity. Islands, some near, some farther, dotted the water. It was a sight that he had never before seen, even when he lived in Caelum and passed through Aethelis. The oceans in both lands had no islands to speak of, so up until now he only could imagine what they looked like when they dotted the water.

'The sight is breathtaking. The brute thought to himself. He moved down close to the water, letting the salty liquid wash over his paws. He had learned the hard way as a pup to never, ever drink ocean water. Not only was it disgusting but he figured that it could be harmful to him as well. But swimming in it didn't seem to do much... other than leave him smelling like the ocean for a while.

Slowly, carefully, the gray wolf entered the water, his body quivering as the coolness of it became apparent. His tail swished behind him as he had his sights set on one of the islands in the distance. He was sure that he'd be able to reach it just fine.

After some time Kar pulled himself onto the beach of the small island, shaking the water from his coat. He closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath of air before opening them once more. There was the recent scent of a wolf... though the other scents were of different creatures. Some he recognized and others he didn't. The brute looked around, his gaze being brought to a huge tree.

"Woaah." He said softly. Not even the trees in Tall Fortress could compare to this tree. It looked different too... at least from a distance. He started out towards it, his ears perked up with curiosity and his eyes scanning what was around him.

Once Kar was close to the tree he could smell the wolf scent again. Like his own it smelled salty... but it was close. He began to move a bit slower, searching for the source. Going around one of the large roots he caught the sight of another wolf out of the corner of his eye. So here was the other he had been looking for.

Kar turned around, going a bit closer to the other male. How long had it been since he had conversed with another wolf, he wondered? Kar came to a stop about a meter and a half from the other male.

"Greetings. I was wondering if you might know what this land is called." He truly hoped that his presence wouldn't bother the other.
