Glow up

Raure's journey alone through the world, leaving his home in the northern parts of Boreas after his parents died and the pack had fallen, only to be fought over by two women who he didn't stick around long enough to check out. He couldn't stay there anymore, and so leaving was easy for him. At least the thought of it was, anyway.

The winter was cold and he sure wished he'd packed something warm to wear and cover up with at night. It was growing increasingly difficult to find covered shelter at night to prevent a cold blanket of snow or a predator finding such a young pup. When he had come across some mines, however, he nearly jumped for joy at the thought of a safe place to rest. He wasn't even tired, how perfect was that!?

Strolling inside, despite all the strange happenings with the never ending darkness and the fireflies that weren't actually fireflies, Raure was still confident that nothing could go wrong. What were the odds? As he approached the mines, he noticed a strange blue glow from within and although it flashed him back to the night he left, he paused only for a moment before heading inside. The scent of another seemed fresh, and being the young boy that he was, he wondered if they could help him. Maybe find him a snack or something.

The glow that garnered his attention from outside of the ruins was quickly discovered by the boy to be coming from some crystals that grew in each and every direction on the caves walls. Being the same, bright blue as his eyes, Raure's widened in amazement as he slowly walked down the path making sure he was looking at everything, hardly paying any attention to where he was going. As his eyes glanced everywhere else around the cave, he didn't notice the wolf in front of him that was also dazed by the beauty and wonder of the crystals beautiful glow. Running into her from behind*, Raure let out a surprised yelp! and backed up quickly, eyes frantically searching for the woman's face since he stood behind her. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going, again." He frowned, pausing only briefly. "These glowy rocks are pretty!"
