Mount Apikuni Looking like you own it

thanks for getting the post up!

     Embry traipsed quietly down the mountainside; a luminous honey-golden bean plodding along in faultless pursuit of his destination. The 'bear cub', as he resembled upon the steep, olive and tawny slopes, progressed slowly and with particular care. He was an attentive youth and undeniably perceptive of both his terrain and his motive: to investigate the historical markings of a slain and long-departed pack.

     Immediately upon reaching his designated outpost, however, his descent was frozen mid-stride. For upon a gentle breeze, information of a fellow wolf had subtley issued across his aromatic receptors. Instinct bristled the fur at his neck; urged his muscles into a tensed and appropriately wary posture. The aureate male seemed to have doubled in size from his default, pacified, quotidian stature. His mind, although reeling from the shift of reverence for the fallen to the alertness of threat, advocated simple retreat... but he was intrigued. Young, curious, but brazen, as well. A potential new friend was, quite plainly, never an opportunity such a boy as Embry dare decline.
