Fairspell Meadow Showered by the empty hopes

Burke decided that it was time for a patrol through the buffer zone around their territory. Normally he would mark tightly where their borders were, preferably with the blood of their trespassers, but today he decided to have a trot through the surrounding lands. They weren't officially from Black Feather but it couldn't hurt to keep an eye on them. He started at Otter Creek and slowly trotted through the fields with Greatwater Lake to his right and Black Feather to his left. He slowly moved towards the swamps. So far he hadn't encountered anything unusual. He liked to also be aware of the deer herds surrounding Black Feather Woods. His pale eyes fell on the Caldera in the distance. A bubble of annoyance rose up because his coward of a son was hiding there. One day he would kill his look-a-like son for being an annoying mosquito in his life. The only thing different between the two was that Burke had a docked tail and had a different air surrounding him.

The grey tank of a male made a curve around the swaps until the Mesa was to his right side once more. Burke reached the devastation that was Fairspell, that storm had made quite a mess of the once open fields. By the looks of it the meadow seemed to be recovering itself. Burke stopped, looking over the start of the wide meadow. Soon the deer would be back he was certain of it. His nose then brought it too his attention that there was another wolf, with a meal. He trotted a bit deeper into the meadow to have a look. His eyes were met with a brown and white female. His docked tail raised as the dark king trotted towards her, the smell of blood in the air. Burke wasn't interested. He had recently taken down a bison with his good friend Akela and was far from hungry. Plus having a meal his stomach and having to travel over some distance didn't do him well. Burke was extra careful after his bloat incident. It wasn't pretty. A chuff came from his lips, he was nice enough to alert the female. Technically he was only passing through, but maybe this female had some useful information.
