One Day I Will Be

Cináed walked along the border of the pack that looped around the Aspen Dam, doing the usual routine of patrols that had become more habit than anything. None of them really lived out here or spent much time other than to hunt and patrol, but he supposed it was still their land so it was better to make sure no one had been trespassing all the same. It was still kind of weird to him to feel an ownership and a purpose for something like a pack when the pack he had grown up in had failed him so horribly. For a while after it crumbled he had been pretty set on never living in a pack again, but Chimera had convinced him otherwise and now here he was... doing patrols, fighting in raids, defending a pack. All of the things that he assumed were "normal" for a pack wolf. It made him chuckle a little at himself and how much things had changed.

The sound of a small bark pulled him out of his wandering thoughts and he glanced back at the black and brown boy that approached him. He recognized him as one of Chimera's sons from seeing him around the pack, but he mostly kept to himself so crossing paths with any of Chimera's brood was pretty few and far between. He wasn't going to just shoo the young man away though. He didn't want to accidentally offend the kid or his King father. "Cináed," he replied when he was asked for his name, giving the striped and brindled boy a nod. "And you're... Cerberus?" he questioned after a brief moment of wracking his brain for the boy's name. He was certain he had heard it in passing, but wanted to confirm just in case.
