SHINIES!

Natha continued to pad down the abandoned river bad, marveling at the bands of different colors that wound through the rocks. It really was beautiful. She moved to the other side of the rive bed then leapt out of it and gazed about the territory. There were plains of short grasses surrounding the river bed. The tundra had food for now but in the winter it would likely become a smooth sheet of snow.

"Well, I think I'm ready to move on. We might still have some time to explore somewhere else and maybe find some shelt- oh!" Natha stopped as she caught the distinct scent of wolf urine. She backed up and dipped her head as she scented the markings. "There's a pack here!" She frowned and gazed out into the territory that lay just beyond the marking. Go figure there'd be a pack right in the middle of their exploring.
