Never Thought I'd See You Again

He was alone yet again, the gray male moving through a much warmer area. Kyda didn?t realize it but, he was in the South, where even in the cold grip of winter it could still be much warmer than in the North. He was glad to be away from the snow, the freezing white powder that clung to his coat and chilled his body. He was, as usual, clueless as where he was. There were strange mounds around him, spread apart at the same kind of intervals that went on for quite some time. After a while, however, they would end, and ears would lift, eyes widening as he looked at the great shaggy beasts that were in the distance.

Kyda did not know what they were called, but these creatures were buffalo. His stomach would give a rumble, though the gray male would hesitate. They looked like prey but... Their size would be too much for a wolf of his size. The gray wolf would give a sigh, scenting the air, and blinked. The scent of death, recent death, hung in the air. He would twitch his ears before moving on the outskirts of the herd, at least since he knew they were there, rather than the deer herd he had set off, to look for the corpse. Luckily for the hungry brute, an eldarly female had passed not long before his arrival, set apart from the others. She was old, having contracted a sickness that weakened her and finally brought about her end.

The male would sniff her a couple of times before deciding she was safe to consume and began to eat, tearing into the flesh hungrily. He couldn?t remember when he last ate... He really didn?t think about it too often unless his stomach was rumbling. Black tipped tail would wag behind him as he ate, a bit of happiness in his eyes. At least for the moment he had forgotten about the trouble he was having. He had been separated from Koi for quite some time now. Would they ever meet again? Or had his friend disappeared from Alacritia forever?
