Just the boys

Getting settled into Ashen had been easier than he had originally anticipated. The fact that he already had a friend here in Ike certainly helped. Still, he didn't want to just be here simply because he wanted to be with Ike. It was his motivation for joining, but if he was going to live here then he wanted to make a real life out of it. Part of that included getting to know the wolves of the pack he was now living in. It had been a very, very long time since he had lived in a group of wolves anywhere close to this so he was probably going to be rusty at the whole getting to know new wolves thing, but he certainly had to try.

He made his way slowly through the pale trees of the Alabastrine Shrine, his ruby and emerald gaze taking in the forest around him. It was odd how everything was so light and alabaster here—even the vines that draped over the branches. He'd never seen anything quite like it during his various travels and that was certainly saying something. Eventually he found himself at the pool that the shrine got its name from and he paused at the edge of it, looking around at the etched stones and the water that gave off a pale glow. What an unusual place indeed.
