The Outskirts

[ @Scarlett @all are welcome ]
Eyes alert and muscles tensed Azaria carefully edged around what was obviously pack territory.
She'd noticed that the valley was surrounded by a crescent moon of stone embedded in the earth that only allowed for one entrance to the territory.Her nose constantly twitched as scents of other fauna and wolves pulled at her though she remained on the outer portion of the valley.The land was low and sloped nicely to offer her paws a pleasant respite from such a long trek across the rugged terrain.This land was warm and therefore still strange to her though she had long since left behind the frozen clutches of her homeland.It was odd shift of setting but not an unwelcome one and she had traveled over far too much warm country to voice complaint now.
The faint sound of a brittle twig breaking underpaw drew her attention and her ears swiveled around towards the source of the noise.

"Hello?"
