Frostfire Ridge Adding Fire to the Flame

Thanks for starting!

He'd paid his very first visit to the ocean. It was a vast water; one that extended far beyond his wildest imagination. It was a sight to see, the shore, and while it was a view to behold, it wasn't a place where he saw himself long-term. He was an inland wolf, he'd discovered. He didn't care much for the taste of salt on the air nor the large quantity of water he couldn't drink. He much preferred a place where he could feel clean. Vain as that thought might be, his fur felt matted down with the salty air. He'd need a place to wash off soon. 

Already north, Kero ventured further inland. He rounded to a small summit of mountains where he figured he might find a little bit of snowmelt towards its base. Mm. Nothing. Nothing but the smell of packlands around the rise. Ugh... and another place he'd ventured once before, but strayed away from. Kero frowned. There was no avoiding it. He'd travel down the narrow line between territories and hope he was crafty enough to remain unscathed. 

It appeared, he had quite a bit of stealth on him as he managed it without any sort of encounter. With that small mercy behind him, he decided on exploring the next ridge to see if anything would strike his fancy. He didn't catch the scent of water, but he did pick up on wolves. Several of the scents were similar enough that he wondered if something would soon become of this place, but until then he was free to roam and wander. 

He climbed, seeking a higher vantage point to get a better view of this land. Nearing the summit, he had this sinking sensation he wasn't alone. His eyes narrowed as he lifted his nose, scenting the air for anything nearby. There it was. Something. Kero turned, changing his course so that he might encounter the individual who was sharing this space. Found him. Just there. 

A golden wolf sat upon a ledge. From where Kero stood, it appeared as though he'd found a nice view of the surrounding area. He approached, more eager to share the view than anything else as he drew nearer to the wolf. "Quite a spot," he greeted, tossing his voice to the wind to alert this wolf of his presence if he'd not discovered Kero already. "Looks like you can just about see forever from there."
