-- walking into view

Even in the warmth of summer, Glaciem's territory was fairly chilly. However, that didn't stop a certain white female from setting off, wandering through the forested lands of her new home with an adventure in mind. These plains were exactly the kind of place where an adventure could be found! In these shadows, another wolf could be lurking, just out of sight! A thrill raced through the female at the thought, and she spun in a swift circle, only to be assured that nothing lurked within the shadows - within her range of vision, anyways.

But that wouldn't ruin Irin's fun. She was on an adventure, after all! These woods would surely contain all kinds of secrets! Maybe if you drank from one spring in particular, it would grant you the ability to commune with all animals. Or maybe the plain never ended. Maybe Irin would be stuck here forever, always seeking the boundary of the plain that Glaciem inhabited. The thought wasn't particularly odious to the female, who adored Glaciem's territory, but she let her mind skim quickly over it and settle on something properly adventurelike; seeking any evidence of anything being out of the ordinary.

It didn't take Irin long to find her gaze settling on a misshapen print in the ground. It could have been caused by any number of things, but Irin's mind immediately jumped to the most logical; that this print had obviously been caused by a creature seen by no other wolf before. Irin was immediately on the hunt, sinking into a crouch and prowling forward, ears pinned against her skull and her tail dragging lightly against the ground as she locked in on the scent and tracked it carefully. The fact that it was simply the scent of an elk hardly bothered the female. Obviously, this strange creature was masquerading as something else to evade detection!
