Only way to go is up

Inoki had travelled further south than she ever had before, the warmth of the summer driving her to find a place that was a bit cooler, but not as snowy was the lands to the north. This new place seemed a tad cooler, but it was also so wet and dreary, and she had to admit it wasn't any better compared to the weather of the northern island. But she stuck around, figuring she may as well explore a few areas while she was there before she returned to the north again.

She soon found herself among a sort of fruit grove. It seemed like a nice peaceful place, even if her nose told her there were predators that occasionally drove through, likely after the small prey that feasted upon the berries that grew there. But there was one scent in particular that caught her attention, and she followed its trail where it weaved through the more obscure areas of the grove, making sure to step heavily on sticks and shrubs so the wolf wouldn't think she had a dastardly plan. But she was definitely following them, that was for sure.
