NOT the Scorpion King

At last! The boy now a year old, was able to travel out of his home territory of redbud nook. (unless I got the territory name wrong then somewhere from the east.-.) He was eager to get out and see the world with his mother, though he didn't realize how big the world was! And to him, such a tiny creature in size, everything was big! And still, he'd look at everything they passed in astonishment. They had gone westward, the heat having died down thanks to the changing of the season and the sun was much less harsh on his small frame. The young lad was excited, even though he didn't know where he was going or what lied ahead. But that just made it all the more exciting!
Shiki had been feeling a little more confident lately. Perhaps because of the rush for adventure or because he was a yearling, and a years worth of pent up energy raged inside him. He was eager to meet other wolves, eager to talk to strangers (even though his mom taught him otherwise), and eager to find out more about the world. And that's where he ended up today...Running as fast as his now lithe body would carry him, Shiki climbed up a rise that would begin to turn patchy and dry, the grasses making his fur itch but he ignored it. For the call of adventure was out there!
The midday sun was up, Shiki's energy as high as the sun. Tongue lolling out, eyes wide and nose twitching as he sniffed everything he passed, he finally made it to the top of the hill. Almost immediately his breath was taken away, for what lay before him was astonishing to him. There was miles and miles of sand! Hills of it! The wind sweeping dust devils and sand tornadoes off in the distance. He stared out in wonder as his tail slowly moved back and forth behind him. He had never seen a desert before, so wasn't even sure what this sea of sand was. But still, he would find out. With a small sneeze, he'd race down the hill and into the dunes, sand spraying up all around him. He couldn't wait to see what else life had in store!
