Keith was up in the mountains that morning, he came following the scent of a pack, it was all over the place so he got closer to see if someone there would end his solitude. He didn't dare to cross the borders though, he knew wolves could get really agressive with intruders and he wasn't looking for trouble.

Another scent reached Keith's nostrils, a female hiding somewhere near, so he called out at her, what could go wrong? "Hello? I know you're there, I can smell your pack's markings from miles away. Come out, don't be shy, I won't bite!"

Keith almost fell back at the sight of the creature in front of him, he had never seen such a thing, her coat was white as his , but it also was black as his brother's, it was stunning. Every wolf in the north was just as white as him, in fact, everything in the north was white in exception of his midnight coated brother.

"Your.. Your fur.." he said with amazement "it's so.. Beautiful.." he then shook his head, he almost forgot that it was another wolf he was talking to "I'm sorry my lady, My name is Keithen White, prince of the North" he said lifting his chin with pride "but you can call me Keith."

The two colored lady barely spoke, Keith noticed her shyness, she avoided eye contact and used few words. "You don't have to fear me Kodokuna, I'm a friend" he said with a smile, trying to be kind with her. Keith could be a jerk sometimes but she wasn't someone he had to impress, nor someone he wanted to impress either, so he relaxed a bit.

"Where's your pack?" he asked lifting his head to scan the surroundings, so far the lady hadn't been aggressive at all, but Keith was worried that her friends would be far more territorial. "I bet they're not too far, are they?"

Kodokuna confessed she was a new wolf in the pack, and Keith felt disappointed, she wouldn't be the one to get him in the ranks, that made her look so weak that Keith felt sorry for her and even guilty for making her feel uncomfortable.

Her body language told Keith she was beyond nervous, and in an attempt to cheer her up he said: "Oh I know it's hard for newbies at first, but I promise it'll get better with time, at least it is better than being a lone wolf, right?"

Kodokuna looked up at Keith's eyes. In that moment he knew he had made a connection with the double colored female. "Yeah it is.." He added to the girl's shy words.

The female then made a question that touched just the right spot in Keith's heart to make a tear materialize in his eye, she asked about his family. Keith's own sister had exiled him from his lands, she took his rights as prince and heir to the north and had forbidden him to see his own siblings which were the only thing he loved..

Keith closed his eyes and shook his head to prevent the tear from running down his cheek, then he lifted his gaze to Kodokuna's mismatched eyes with a forced smile.. "I'm a loner by choice.. " He started, "I'm taking a break from my family, you know, the alphas of the white lands" he would never admit all that his heart was suffering "but that's a boring story.. What about you? You said you were just accepted in the pack.. How was you life before?"

"Hey Kodo, lets not talk about this, ok? It seems like we both have sad stories we don't want to remember.." He said after the female almost cries with her response to Keith's attempt of driving the attention away from his past. He didn't want to make the lady uncomfortable, he really liked her and wanted to know her, but he wasn't gonna push her to do something she didn't want to.

"What do you say if you come out here and we go hunt something for lunch?" He barked with a gentle smile and a friendly wag of his tail.

The female changed her expression with Keith's proposal, her face lit up with a smile and she stated she liked hunting "Nice" he barked with a smile when Kodo stepped forward, willing to follow the silver prince to the hunt.

"I thing I scented a goat nor too far on my way here.. Maybe if we try together we'll catch it easily..?" a lone wolf would never be able to catch such a big animal on their own, but now he had assistance, it was worth a try. "Follow me, I'll lead the way!"

Keith lead the hunt to a nearby cliff a couple miles north from The Sunspire. The cliff was high and very rocky, making it impossible for any wolf to climb it down. The young wolf stood on the edge of the cliff and sniffed the air trying to get a hint of where the goat might've been. 'Close' his nose told him, and he turned his look to the female and with a gesture of his head indicated her to follow "it's not too far from here..." he said quietly.

Just a moment later after walking about a hundred meters with the cliff on their right, Keith spotted the gigantic goat, grazing at the top of a small hill not too far from the cliff. He glanced back, to see if his friend was behind, "How'd you wanna do it, Kodo?" He asked whispering, "maybe we should attack from two sides, so it has no chance to climb down the cliff.." He suggested.

Kodo agreed on Keith's plan and took position, with a smile and a wink the youth left to make his way around the goat and slowly place himself on the other side of the hill so the goat was between him and the female. He took a deep breath, he hadn't had a prpper meal a long time ago and he was eager to sink his fangs in the mountain beast.

With a bark Keith announced the yield the output and took off in the direction of the goat which groaned on his sight and tried to go to the cliff where it'd be safe, but it was late for that, keith was almost upon his prey so it ran in the opposite direction.

Kodokuna jumped tackling the goat, she grabbed its leg leaving no chance for escape to the helpless prey. Keith got there in no time and seized the goat's throat, ending its life. He let go when the body stopped breathing, and with a smile he turned to his friend, "game over.." he woofed softly in success with his snout covered in blood. "Nice move, Kodo" He chuckled and licked the blood off of his muzzle.

After about half an hour --in which the young prince took the chance to fill his belly and even over eat-- Keith went up to the double colored femme and licked her snout snout which was still covered in goat blood. "It was really nice to meet you, Kodo..." he said in a flirty manner, "Take the rest to your pack, I'm sure they'll find it useful.." he barked pointing at the half eaten carcass. The handsome boy winked at her and engaged with a smile and turned around to resume his journey across the mountain, his goal: Find a new home.
