Sawtooth Spire Begin Again

This can be deleted if he doesn't wind up getting accepted. ^_^

All around him, voices rose into the air, blending together to form a single note: a declaration of unity and ownership. For several moments, he simply listened, uncomfortable with the idea of joining right away. He was new and he hadn't been here for the storm and subsequent relocation. He still felt like a bit of an impostor, like he didn't yet belong. Still, he eventually added a low croon to the pack's song, pledging again his loyalty and commitment. His birth family had failed him absolutely but he had chosen this one.

You're like a phoenix rising from the ashes of your former life, he mused poetically, a wicked grin winding over his face before his howl cut off and he began to laugh sardonically to himself.
