Shattered in the shadows

Helios needed to get out, he needed a release. The pack felt stifling, a prison where the only escape was his own mind, a prison of it?s own accord. He had not planned on staying out so late however, Nat would no doubt be wondering where he was and the man did not want to worry her, she had enough to deal with as it was. The man could not seem to tear himself away from this place however. He knew it was all in his mind but the forest seemed to feed upon his grief, seemed to draw him in further and further to some trap no doubt.
The wind picked up for a moment and a faint scent assailed his senses. Another life moved within these trees. Eager to no longer wander in solitude the russet man picked up his pace, red orbs scanning the horizon in hopes of finding this other life.
