The mountain drew him in.
Like a moth to the flame he followed the winding pathways through the foothills that led up to the pungent borders. It was only now that he stopped to even contemplate why. Mountains only brought upset, grief, and betrayal. Temporis, Nathara... they had all failed him. Even cowardly Rahu. His lips curled back at the memory, however distant it was becoming with the years. Memories fade.
But his body still yearned for the stone; he could feel the restless urge in his paws as they reconnected with the solid loam. He was born a mountain wolf, and forever he would remain as one. A single absinthe-hued eye scanned the trees for any sign of movement. Was he being watched? Or were these wolves as soft as the valley wolves below?
Alshain swung his head to the front again and threw up his voice in a howl. No matter, they would have to come now.
