Greatwater Lake Through the tears and the pain

Mikasi waited patiently for Oli's arrival. Mysterious optics stared out at the land of water. It was such a peaceful scene. Tiny ripples traveling across the surface. A clear reflection of the fluffy clouds above. It was best to enjoy while it lasted. The winter may poison these lands and transform the liquid into a icy solid. What a shame.

 The male did a heavy breath in and breath out, enjoying the crisp air. It was sort of nice to be out in this unknown land. The silence was broken when the pitter patter of paws approached. Mikasi's head snapped back, his eyes only to be greeted b his fellow packmate Oli. He appeared to be excited t be out, tale wagging and walking circles around him. It made his own tail thump on the ground. He lifted himself from the ground when the male started walking off. "Ima comin' skipper," he replied with a small smile.

Mikasi quickened his pace, matching the steps of the darker male. "Just what I was thinkin'. Don't wanna upset the boss man." Winter was coming in fast and they needed bigger prey. "Let's get a closer look at that lake, eh?" Without waiting for an answer, the male walked closer to he lake, only to be greeted by a great sight. Tracks.

 "Bingo!", he called, approaching the hoof tracks. As his paws neared the imprints, the dirt had turned to mud, making it cake around his paws. He turned his head to look over at Oli. "Fresh tracks. We follow these and it will lead us right to the good stuff!"
