Veronica Plains was beautiful, a fact that no one could deny. Even in the heat of the summer, the land maintained and air of beauty that was inescapable. The way the plain grass gently folded under the strokes of the summer breeze, the stems slowly turning from a lush green to a brown. They were brittle under paw, but still the majesty of the land had yet to fade. In the fading sunlight, as the sun began to kiss the night sky in greeting, his world was alight in an orange haze, as the sun set on the side of the ocean. He wondered what the sunset would look like on the water, but he made no move to race to enjoy that beauty tonight. Instead, his pace would halt, his hind-quaters planting on the ground with a soft sigh, where he sat on a slight hill. Staring off at the pack-lands below him, he could almost see the signs of others mingling about, and his instinct pulled him towards them.
He was a social animal, but he still felt so out of place. The one idea he had held onto after losing his sibings- his father was no more. They had gotten here too late, and he felt the need to grieve for a man he had never known. What was Cairo like? Was he anything like Alice had told them, or was the man a total mystery? He wanted to meet those who would be his siblings, at least half of his siblings and wanted to know about Cairo. The legend of his father was great, and he wondered if he'd manage to be half of the wolf that his father was? There in the dying light of day, he watched, his eyes trailing over to the place that he had learned his father laid. Would he live up to the Adravendi name?
