Thunder Dome Winter flames race the wind

Jolon wandered over the rocky surface that was covered in a thin layer of snow. He had just been rejected by a leader of a pack he wanted to join, and was not in a very happy mood today. Despite his lonely mood he enjoyed the scenery up here. This place was truly breathtaking, not like the place he once called home as a pup. Jolon smiled at the thought of his old home, remembering what an easy life he had back then. It was nothing compared to being a lone wolf trying to survive in the wild. Somehow he had managed to get through it though, not knowing how he had done it.

Suddenly his ears perked up, followed by his whole head. He heard something. He couldn't quite place the sound, but knew it was nearby. His mind was already overflowing with possible things that could have made the sound, like a hare, or maybe even one of his own sort. Being alone for so long had made him desperate to meet others, good or bad. 

Knowing that whatever it was that had made the sound was close to him, he decided to call if there was someone. Hello? Anyone there? He called out in his cold voice. He was probably just going crazy, but it was worth a shot. He awaited an answer, not knowing if there would be one.
