Their journey had led them here, into the shelter of the forest. They felt protected beneath the tall maple trees, with their brilliant wide canopies of fire, brilliant yellows and oranges looming overhead. The season brought with it such beauty and splendor -- and to have Kangi by his side again was nothing short of a miracle. He silently vowed to stay with her this time, no matter how hard things got, no matter how afraid he felt. This morning, though, he was alone as she slept, wandering briefly from the shelter they had forged beneath a fallen tree trunk to scout their surroundings and hopefully find something for breakfast. While he was a timid man, exploring new lands had never been something troubling for him. It was easy enough to avoid those that meant trouble, and traveling over obstacles was something that made him feel accomplished, despite the difficulty of it. He was a lanky male, but the muscles that lined his legs and back were strong from travel. Still he was quite unassuming in build, smaller than most wolves he met. Food was often scarce for him, as he wasn't the most proficient hunter -- his missing left leg made fast movement difficult for him. With Kangi things were easier, but he certainly was no stranger to hunger and his slender frame made that obvious. There was a slight hop to his step today, and while it was mostly because he only had three legs and there was little other way for him to walk -- it was also because he felt like today held some sort of promise. Perhaps a promise of adventure. Everything seemed so much better with Kangi at his side, and he felt a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he sniffed at the edge of the forest. He was not far from his sleeping mate and so he pressed on, awed at the small clearing he had found. It was a small grove, littered with large bushes that were overflowing with berries. Vines seemed to climb up trees on all sides of him, the air pungent with the sweet smell of fruit. What a cool place! Briefly he was reminded of the cavern they had found, the place underground that had been full of strange mushrooms and mystery. Kangi would simply love this place. His pace would slow as he explored the grove, nose twitching as he tested the air. The newness of this place was enchanting and he couldn't help but wonder childishly if he had found a place no other wolf had set foot in before. It was a fanciful thought, and he knew it was almost improbable but it didn't stop him from humoring the idea for a moment, grinning like a pup as he wandered the area dreamily. |
