The cold wind tugged at the male's fur as silence, or at least silence from any of his kind, reached his ears. Slowly lime green eyes opened, looking out over the snowy landscape. Oh how such a large, empty terrain reminded him of the lands he'd traveled over in his journey to Alacritis. Wolves had inhabited some of the lands... but he generally stayed away from the borders of the packs. Especially the packs of Aethelis.

Aethelis had almost felt like home. Almost... but not quite. The young male found his sister there... a wolf whose name he no longer remembered. But he could remember his mother. Her warm fur, her scent. But her name was forgotten... as was the name of the male who was supposed to be his father. He hadn't been there for the pups, at least not for very long. He wasn't quite sure what had happened... but both he and his aunt had disappeared.

These cold lands... Hadn't Tilvera been this cold when the winters had come? He looked down to the snow, moving his paw to press down on the soft, cold, white substance that covered the ground. Regardless of how much he wished Caelum hadn't fallen to ruin, of both man and natural disaster, he knew that there was no going back.

But his reminiscing about the past was to be interrupted by one of the creatures he had come to fear as a pup. Snow burst from a nearby bank, and the wolf snapped his head around to see a thing most frightening -- a snow leopard with eyes set ablaze. Shock kept the wolf frozen in place, his ears flicking back and his eyes widening with fear.

But as the feline attacked his body kicked into motion. He pushed off from his right side, jumping to the left. The snow leopard's attack did not get avoided however. But instead of catching an eye the sharp claws racked painfully across his muzzle, producing a sharp grunt of pain from him.

"Ggrah!" Kar spun so he was facing his newest enemy, his fur floofing in defense. He scrunched his neck, doing what he could to protect it. He narrowed his eyes, tucked his ears and tail, and let out a warning growl. The feline was surely in a rage, but he would rather not fight her if he didn't have to. But deep in his gut Kar knew that this wasn't going to be the case. He lowered his head, flashing his fangs.

'Well come at me then.' He thought, ready to move quickly in order to dodger, or mostly dodge, an attack.
