Wild Berry Meadow I've been cold, I've been merciless

The wolf returned her greeting with cheer, and Raven couldn't help the delight that showed on her face. As the stranger drew closer, Raven herself closed the distance as well and within moments, the two were within a comfortably conversational proximity to one another. She was a beautiful creature, vibrant and healthy, cloaked in shades of pewter and shadow that shone with golden lustre in the sun. A shock of pallid white at her throat was her only discernible marking, and eyes of glowing ember seemed to carry far more wisdom and experience than her youthful appearance would lead a casual observer to assume.

Raven grinned and shook her head in response to the stranger's comment. "I'm not used to seeing other wolves out here! I'm Raven, from the caldera." It was fairly obvious where that was, as the slumped shape of the collapsed volcano's shoulders could be easily seen from here. "I was just hunting for some medicinal plants when I saw you passing by." That wasn't entirely true, but it sounded a lot better than I was just out here starving.
