Mount Apikuni The Fire Burns Bright

Aviana's eyes glanced around, trying to find a spot she might seek shelter in from the rain. Finally, she spotted what looked to be like a small cave. She took a few steps forward when her sharp ears caught the whine. She froze in place, waiting for her eyes to adjust. She squinted as she tried to see who was in there.

He was dark, but she could see his pale-yellow eyes. Her head lowered as she retreated a few steps. Normally, she would simply move one and let him be, but the whine concerned her. Are you okay? she asked. She didn't want to intrude on an injured wolf, and have him strike out at her in fear. She was far enough away that she had to raise her voice- something never done in the presence of a male- so that he could hear her.
