A Chill Within My Bones

The roaring wind reverberated in the male's lobes. Everything about this was hard for him, and shelter seemed less and less noticeable throughout the wind. It was slowly starting to become a storm, but there was still a sign of wildlife and the other animal's distant calls. There were a couple of times he had to stop and let the powerful gust of air subside before continuing onward. However...there was something within the back of his mind telling him to stay close to the area. As to why, he hadn't a single clue, but at least it would bide him a little bit of time to rest and try to warm himself despite the temperatures. His coat was certainly not the best in these conditions, but at least he hadn't frozen to death just yet.

But, before he could, the wind happened to bring a scent close to him as his nostrils took in the rich aroma. The scent was almost non-existent from the wind and snow, but it was a scent that Seker had remembered all too well. His eyes widened slightly, resisting his body's urge to plop down where he was and let the snow cover him as he, slowly, made his way forwards. He tried his best to locate the scent despite his frustrations whenever the wind said otherwise when it came to reaching his goal.

He could hear distant barks, hope starting to radiate within his chest as he pushed, giving the best howl he could muster despite his vocal cords objecting against the idea due to his old wound. Seker's howl was rather guttural, but at least it was something. He prayed to the gods that she noticed the howl and could hear him; could smell his scent. But, he knew for sure that it was his sister, there was no denying it as he moved a bit faster in hopes of seeing her sooner and that she hadn't gotten herself lost trying to find him.
