The Unraveling - It Rises

He had taken off on a soul searching journey almost as soon as he had gotten better. Rather, more to save face instead of facing the rest of his family and pack after he'd been ill for so long. He felt better now, and stronger than ever as he walked across the sands at the bottom of Moontouched Cliffs. He didn't know where his family was now, or if they were still back with the Raiders. He wasn't sure he wanted to return, unsure if they would be upset with him for leaving without a word. Maybe it didn't matter, maybe it did. Hell if he knew.

As he walked across the sands, he heard a thunderous crashing in the water, the smell of something putrid that suddenly made him gag. Turning to the water, eyes went wide as he saw the biggest, strangest, most terrifying thing he had ever seen! His fur bristled in alarm. He could hear the echo of voices shouting at the top of the cliff above him as this nightmare of a creature continued to rise, towering over him as it seemed to reach the height of the cliff. Beady eyes searched the land, and before he knew it, other wolves had arrived and began to launch themselves at the creature. He stepped back, unsure on whether he should run, hold his ground, or help with the attack. Choosing a somewhat of a safer route (he hoped), he instead barked with alarm at the sea beast, hoping to distract it for at least a moment while those strangers went in for a fight. Maybe it'd give them a better chance if it got distracted, maybe it wouldn't. But either way, his paws rooted to the spot out of fear for the first time in his life, so this was all he could really do anyway.
