Nocturnal

Powerful strokes brought the beast closer to shore, it was a tough current, but nothing he could truly handle. The skies were dark even in mid day, he couldn't feel moisture in the air to call for rain, even if the clouds held every sigh for oncoming rain in the future. With his head just peeking out of the water enough for his nostrils to take in the necessary air, it wasn't a long trip over the water, but it was long enough for him to be wishing he was on shore already. The winds picked up just as he touched soil, rock more like it, where he could feel the sharp edges digging into his feet just as he pulled himself out of the water.
The moisture drenched pelt clung to his muscular body, dripping onto the soils as he walked past the beaches and into the forest, leaving a small trail of blood behind him with bleeding paws, cut up by the sharp rocks surrounding that part of the island. They didn't bug him. He'd probably lick them clean later anyways to clear them from sand and debris in order to keep an infection at bay. A medic would always be welcome, but even without one, he was certain he would be okay. There were worse injuries and they didn't get infected either. Perhaps it was his immune system that was so accustomed to his filthy habits of not cleaning himself regularly, or maybe it was good genes... but no one would know of the later anyways, so it didn't matter.
The long swim had cleaned him of some of the stench that clung to his body, other than the smell of wet canine, he smelled rather normal for once. He'd give it a couple hours, maybe a day or so before he smelled like himself again. For now, this would be his home until he found something more interesting for him to do on the main land. He could smell the normal prey such as rabbits and small deer roaming the islands, it would be just enough for him to happily live off of, so long as he avoided the venomous snakes and sorts.
Lifting his head to the skies, the behemoth closed his eyes to take in a deep breath of the air before happily exhaling. The silence was indeed golden.
