Naiche stood outside his den looking up at the night sky. Behind him, Pan slept deeply as it felt all life must be doing besides Naiche right now.  Other than the occasional chirp of crickets it seemed a silence had engulfed the area.  Perhaps the land was mourning with the wolves all the problems that had come up recently.  Naiche felt the wind flow across what there was of his coat and acknowledge the reality; winter would be here soon enough.  The sounds of spring and summer were not as prevalent as fall gave into winter.  

The wolf's brow raised again to the sky looking at how the clouds were long thin lines across the sky instead of the fluffy softness they had been for a while.  The weather was changing and in a few hours, the temperature would have dropped a good bit.  The clouds were a sign of how the wind was pushing them fast to bring in the colder air. This wasn’t going to be an enjoyable winter.  The summer had been warm, but not broiling and the fall already had a chill to it that could turn unpleasant in the evening.  There was an evident pattern in Naiche’s mind.  Was it colder than last year at this time or was it just having lost so much of his coat that made the cold bite harder?  The cloak that Sirius had made for him would help with that at least.  Naiche couldn’t wait to have his coat grow back in regardless.

However, if Naiche was right and the fall was colder than the prior-year then it meant the winter would likely be worse as well.  He had been farther north last year when winter had hit and he’d experienced a bit of snow.  Would the snow make it down here to this region?  Naiche imagined their lake and wondered if the water would freeze how solid would it be?  He doubted the ocean could freeze up but it was an interesting thought.  
Naiche imagined the open grassland being blasted by the winter winds.  Small animals would have the grass as a barrier to the cold but those who stood above it would have no protection from strong winter winds that brought snow or ice-cold rain down on them.

Naiche was confident where he had been the prior winter would be worse this year, well mostly confident.  Again how things felt now and then were a tad different thanks to his coat being gone and that thought continually irked him.  Naiche was still learning the weather here so that in the end his prediction had some flaws in it.    No matter how he looked at it winter would be crappier for him regardless of what the weather decided.
