Phoenix Maplewood they've got the kingdom locked up

It was dusk an Ashka had finished a long days work. She had been training with Arion, working on offensive and defensive fighting skills. She was improving but she felt she still had much to learn. She had begun to think of Arion as a pretty good mentor. He made a good teacher. Training was hardcore though and days where she had been learning left her with low energy. She trailed amongst the trees on the outskirts of the Maplewood ears twitching.  

The weather was getting cooler which meant soon it would be winter. Ash had been working hard to keep the food caches full so there was certainly no shortage of prey here just yet. Although with young wolves to feed she was sure she would have to keep it up.  

Ashka paused for a second her nose picking up the scent of an unfamiliar wolf. She looked around for a moment before following the scent just a bit further before she spotted a black wolf weaving through the trees near the border. The wolf wasn't trespassing but still was too close to be considered not dangerous. She trailed closer. She was by no means a high ranking wolf here but she would do her part in finding out the purpose of this black wolf. 

She cleared her throat before proceeding. "May I ask what you are doing so near pack borders, " she said sternly trying not to show how tired she was. Now was not a time to look weak.

Hope you dont mind me popping in here :)
