Volk Sredi nas 《Wolf Among Us》

The underbrush pushed back against the small but lithe wolf's chest as she moved like water through crevices in rock, a translucent star upon the ripple of a pond. Such was the nature of the forest, still an unfamiliar entity compared to her homeland in the north, where pine forests were often barren on their floors as granite slabs and small pockets of dirt compromised them.

She had wandered here and there, far and wide with paws roughened by the seasons. Even if they began to sore, she knew of the proper precautions to soothe the callouses and rest her feet. Still, sometimes the dreamer wished she was still among her kind, traipsing through endless dunes of snow in an eternal pursuit of the sun as the immortal wintry night slowly turned above, the stars forever gliding across the navy heavens.

The trees lessened here, opening into a small copse that let light filter down. It was a warm afternoon that beckoned life to relax and stretch out in the final heat of the summer, but for a wolf, it was mildly irritating. Their winter coats were coming in strong, and Ivev stuck to the shadows as she skirted the open space. But she had hardly moved when something restless stirred under a tree, a rusty pile of embers. Her nose twitched with the smell of her kind, and inanimately the white wolf placed one paw in front of the other. Her neck was craned forward, blue eyes dancing in the forest shade as she studied the creature. He was alone; it would wise to approach.
