Rebellion

Stay in the territory. Don't leave without an escort. Blah blah ah. The rules were endless and infuriating for the child. She could have assumed that it was because of her mother and brother but these rules had been in place before that, when the volcano erupted. The thing was so far away, it wasn't like it would spew lava on her if she explored! Thus, one could find the young dire wolf outside of the territory, rapidly approaching a wall of stone. She had seen it from afar, looming high but she had never been to it before, she didn't realize just how big it really was...but she was about to. 

With a bounce in her step she giggled and kept going, eventually coming up to the wall.  She'd purposely not looked up to see how tall it was until she was not far from the base. Finally she came to a stop, perhaps 50 feet from the base of the wall and as the youth looked up, her jaw dropped. "Woah..." the youth would breathe out with wonder. How could it have been made? Why was it there? What sort of creature would waste so much time building it?
