Sleepy Fox Hollow Oh, I'm burning out

Traveling had not been an overly easy task for the young male, especially once he'd reached the mountain range. In truth, he had absolutely no idea where he was going, since the land was new to him. He'd never really gone to the mountains, save for one time a long while ago, and didn't know what laid on the other side of them. What was to be expected, he couldn't even imagine, but that did not stop his legs from carrying him to elevated levels. His paw had offered him a few issues here and there, but for the most part, he was just fine. The injury was healing slowly due to his reluctance to not use that leg, but that wasn't too worrisome. It had been expected, really, causing him to constantly remind himself not to complain about it.

As Alastor made his way to the hollow, he kept himself alert by focusing on each step taken. It was normal, for him at least, and would serve to better his mental map of the land; which most likely needed some altercations made in light of the storm. No matter, that was a task for another day, and wasn't currently weighing too heavily on his mind. He had a basic outline of where the paths he'd taken were, and that was all that mattered. His icy gaze trailed around the area, taking in his surroundings. The place seemed nice enough, and like other places before, he made a mental note to visit it again in the future.

Moving forward, the Greek wolf further explored the meadow, feeling at peace within it. Even the pain that would occasionally shoot through his leg seemed to be dulled significantly, making him forget about it for the time being. For once, since the disbanding of the Bypass, he actually felt happy, or some sort of positive emotion. It was nice, but also made him miss previous moments in which he'd experienced the emotion. The talks with Crëyr, particularly, we're missed, as were the times he'd gone off and met with Aesop. He wondered what the elder was up to nowadays, which brought forth a new task in his mind—maybe he could try to find the other male's pack. All he knew was that it was close to Horizon Ridge, but the exact coordinates were lost to him. Sitting down, both to think and relieve his paw of his weight for a bit, he attempted to think back to what he'd seen near the ridge, or if he'd spotted anyone who could give directions. All the while, he was oblivious to any happenings going on around him, far too invested in his own mind to be attentive.
