out there in the silence

Her wandering steps had carried her far from her pack, scouting. It seemed that not even care of a pack could tame the restlessness that was the viking blood within her, but Katja did not wander aimlessly or without purpose. She'd made her way westward with the intention of scouting out possible training sites, raiding sites, dangers. Her pack was young and precarious yet but if it could not survive without her for a matter of days then it would not survive at all. Knowledge was equally important as her presence, and sending someone to gather information for her would never be the same as having gone herself. Too often things could be overlooked as unimportant, too colored by the other wolf's perceptions to be useful to her. So it was that her paws traversed the unfamiliar sands of a desert, following the faint scent of water and vegetation to a secluded paradise held within the desolate dunes. It caught her interest - though by nature a northern wolf rather than a desert dweller, it was the very stark and unfamiliar aspects of this arid landscape that drew her attention. Standing on the edge of desert and oasis, death and life, she gazed about her in cool appreciation. This would, though unlikely many would agree with her, make a good pack land if she ever need leave the east. The oasis to provide food and water, the desert to produce a distinct and toughened breed of warrior.
