[J] Bubble Up Inside

@Kerosene & @Tonravik

Hazel eyes lit up when they spotted a mountain ahead of them. For days the summer heat has exhausted the valley wolf, and beat down on his body. His fur was thin, but it still felt like a winter coat when he stood in the sun. A trail of blood was left with each step the wolf took, his paws soar and aching from the miles of endless traveling. Nevertheless he trudged, on fighting through the pain as he was postitive whatever was at that mountain was better than here.

Atlas he arrived at the huge pile of rock and sure enough he was rewarded for not stopping. A creek filled with thriving fish and clear cool water stood before him. Wasting no time he walked forward into the glorious water letting it sooth the pads on his paws that were cut open, and cool his body from the heat. It felt like an oasis to the wolf, and he bent down to take a drink allowing the water to rush into his mouth refreshing his dry tongue and scratchy throat.

After a brief rest, the wolf stood and walked along the edge of a forest until he came across a pack. The thing he had been searching for was finally in view.  For so long had he been alone in his journey and now was the chance to finally connect with others. A new change and a new beginning was just what the valley wolf needed. He sat at the border and lifted his head to call for the Alpha(s) of this pack. Now all that was left was to wait.
