[IC Joining] For One Moment of Time

The air surrounding the bare mountain was cold, harsh, and unwelcoming. Hints of a fire's past cascaded around the monstrous mountain's side. Ash settled deep in the ground, signaling that the fire has been years before hand. As the rain parachuted from the cloudy sky to the murky ground Ayvo took notice of the strong smell of fellow wolf that surrounded his senses. Their presents was overwhelming even when the rain should have diluted some of their smell. It felt like years since the snowy male had felt the power of a pack. In all reality it had been just months. Banishment from his home pack meant nothing to him now. He took on a new name, rebirthed himself in a pure form. While the banishment had nothing to do with his actions Ayvo still felt guilty. If only he could have stopped his father when the power was young, just a seedling in his brain. There was no sense now in spilling emotions of regret and playing scenarios in his mind where all danced well, and all were happy. Today was another day. The sweep of a fire meant rebirth and like the seeds that the ash had hidden, Ayvo was a new wolf. 

The trek up the bare mountainside took a majority of Ayvo's strength. This was to be seen in the way he now held his head. It drooped low to the ashen ground. He needed food, but that could wait for now. First he needed a pack. The male couldn't survive on his own, he warranted the presence of other wolves. He wouldn't make it another year without a pack. Keeping this in mind Ayvo traveled on until he hit the ridge of the packs territory. Their scent surrounded the rain coated air, and danced in the noon sunlight. The mixing pot of trees jumped around in Ayvo's vision. Not only was a pack located here, but the land was also a sort of paradise. The male paced back and forth between the pack's territory and the baren tree line that covered the mountains that surrounded the veil. He was waiting.
