Herb hunting in the east

The man had never been out to the islands to the East before. He didnt know what prey resided here and he couls only guess at the herbs he may or may not find here on Ibis Island. While his mind was dreaming up what he might find, his body was collapsed in the sand a few yards from the water's reach.

It had taken him all morning and part of the afternoon to reach the island. Had he realized just how far out the small piece of land was and just how hard it would be for an older wolf to get to, he may have just stayed on the mainland. He had even thiugh about bringing Callisto with him to explore the tropical environment but thought better of it. Max was sure she would have just turned him down anyway.

Now that he was here, soaking wet and panting, Maximous wished he had more friends. If he had he wouldnt be laying in the sand alone. And damn it he was tired of being alone. It sucked. Being a wolf he was never meant to be alone, being a healer only made being by himself worse. Hell he'd thought about joining a pack a few times but hadnt because he was afraid of loosing everyone again. Afraid he might fall in love again only to be broken again.

Quietly he would sit up and stare into the forest made up of palm trees and other tropical plants. Maybe he wasnt the only wolf that had gotten the bright idea to swim from island to island just to get all the way out here.
