Chimera Fields where the miracle of beauty disappears

No worries!

Nice to meet ya, Dirge, he replied amiably with a dip of his head. I live with a pack down on the coast, he added, tilting his head in the direction of home as he spoke. He silently wondered where the male lived around here but didn't want to bombard him with questions, figuring he'd have specified if he wanted to. 

I'm just scoutin' the area on my way home. Tryin' to learn about the surrounding territories, Zig answered. The place was as the other wolf had explained it--beautiful and bizarre; where he had entered was dreary and held no life but here, there were colorful flowers and many signs of the herds Dirge mentioned. You from a pack around here? Zig finally asked, his curiosity winning out over his politeness.
