Stargazer

He knew not how much time had passed, but he much preferred to wander and learn before deciding on the path he was to take. The best way of doing so without too much of a problem was to be respectful to others. And he tried his best to be so. Not for the creatures that lived there, though that was a part of it, but to forever make his parents proud even if they weren't there. They had taught him well and he would follow the example they had given he and his true blood kinship. Still the lands were daunting and exhausting to traverse. He'd done so much running in order to explore far and wide the lands of Alacritia. He hadn't yet fully decided whether or not he enjoyed being a rogue instead of a pack member. Though he was of course drawn to groups.

But for the moment he didn't want to think about that. He just wished to be and at that time wished for a drink. The terrain around this part of Alactria weren't the best in his estimation. No, he preferred the green, green grasses of a lusher land where trees stood tall, touching the sky above. Nearly touching a shining star albeit that star was truly still too far away.

Finally his paw touched liquid. Water! Finally, he'd be able to quench his thirst after that last bout of running. Lowering himself to the ground, front paw tips touching the water. Still further he lowered his head until his muzzle brushed the surface. Swiping his tongue out he scooped in water, lapping several mouthfuls to moisten his dry ebon lips and pink tongue.
