GoldenSun had been wandering for what seemed like days….
She found a nice meadow in the middle of somewhere she had not even know, found a nice tree by a small lake and settled down. Laying there she looked around.
She saw a wolf on the horizon…. What was it? More like, who was it? She got a bit lower, hoping her scent wouldn’t catch the wind, but she was curious of this youngster who seemed to be the same age as her.

Cassidy, who had been lingering between the top corner of the Naaghi Lowlands and the Kintla flatlands, had been merrily prancing along when he stopped. There was someone on the horizon looking at him, and he looked at them. His young curiosity once again took over, and he briskly walked to this stranger. He stopped again about 10 feet away. “Hello!” He barked, “Who are you?”
She stood up, eyes wide for a minute. “I-I’m golden sun… and you?” This wolf had a… bundle of apparently unbridled energy. Her brother had been young and friendly like this… before…she stopped the thought. She had a small smile, “nice to meet you.”
She walked up to him, gently sniffing him. Getting his scent was vital for her identification process. He smelled harmless, but she would be cautious.
She introduced herself, as Golden sun. “That’s a different name.” he replied, “Of course, by different I mean a good different.” She asked him of his name: “Anyway, it’s good to meet you too.” “I’m Cassidy, but my friends just call me Cass.”
If he had friends, that’s what they would call him, anyway. He continued to sniff her back, returning her smelling of him.
Diffrent, what could he mean by that? She smiled a bit, this guy didn’t seem all that bad, since winter was coming maybe she could…. Travel with him. A lone wolf alone cannot survive the winter.
She nodded, “thank you sir, nice to meet you Cassidy.” She gingered her words a bit, seeing as he seemed so friendly. “May… I, travel with you? You may say no if wish, yet winter is coming and no young wolf can survive alone.”
Cannot survive alone? A wolf such as himself could manage, he was young, spry, determined, or at least, so he believed. His plans had been to travel freely wherever the wind chooses to take him. But to have a travel partner, he wasn’t sure he could answer that. “I’m pretty sure I can handle myself,” he replied with a cocky grin, “but I guess i can consider it if you have no where else to go, Miss.” “Although, a fair warning, I plan on traveling a lot. “
He, deep down, didn’t want to abandon a fellow lone wolf wanderer like himself. “How about this? You can tag along with me for a few days, just till you can get on your feet?”
