Great Bear Wilderness New kids on the block

The sound of a howl drew Floki's attention immediately. He had flung himself into marking Moonspear's borders, acting the part of an adult even though he wouldn't make the jump in ranks for another few months. But Charon supported his ambition and typically treated him like a grown up, recognizing him for his abilities and even giving him some responsibility. So he took it upon himself to respond to the caller and loped towards the source of the request.

As he emerged from the copse of trees that blanketed the lower region of the mountain, his gaze fell on a large, swarthy male. The stranger's dark coat was flecked with grey, giving him a particularly distinguished appearance. Floki approached with more curiosity than anything else. Although he was nearly the same size as Charon now, there was still an awkward youthfulness about him, so this wolf would certainly realize quickly that he was only a juvenile.

That didn't stop him from greeting the unfamiliar male confidently as he strode into the unclaimed territory just beyond Moonspear's edge. "Hello. Can I help you?" he asked, imitating the businesslike manner he had seen Charon use on many occasions.
