Sea Lion Shores ours is to smile at your passing, friend

Charon was just inspecting the damage at the eastern side of Stavanger Bay. It was a total mess, and he wondered if it would ever be its old self. The border between Sea Lion Shores and Stavanger Bay was a lot fuzzier than it had been -- there were some cliffs that had collapsed into a pile of rubble, so that wolves were now able to easily get into the Bay's territory from the western side -- so Charon decided to patrol its eastern border. After he had rubbed his scent on the ground, lone trees and shrubs, and peed in various places, Charon decided to extend his patrol to the Sea Lion Shores to see if it was as much a mess as the Bay's eastern side.

The young Beta squinted his eyes to block out the starting sunlight as he looked in the distance, to where he saw a wolf travel the lands. It surprised him: there had not been many wolves along the lands, yet now this was the second time since the storm he'd run into some in the lands surrounding the Bay. Charon felt naturally protective of the lands that surrounded it, even though he had no claim on them, but it was his curiosity that drew him closer to the stranger as he trotted through the devastated lands along the tidepools. Little did he know that this was not truly a stranger to him as of yet, unable to fully see her, as he was not near enough yet.
