Thunder Dome three wise men

Strolling at their borders had become one of Jolon's top priorities. If a stranger would not notice the scent marks of the bright spirit, then they would notice him. He would not let anyone through without permission of his alphess, and would keep interested wolves busy till Asterr would greet them herself. He felt like it was an important job and was elated he could do something for his to-be tribe. Being part of all this had made him feel important, a feeling he had only felt when he was a pup.

Abruptly, he stopped in his tracks. There was a new scent in their territory, one he did not recognize. His muzzle almost touched the ground while he was trying to track the wolf that had left the scent, fearing that he had failed the simple task he had given him himself. The snow tingled his nose, making it hard not to sneeze which would probably give away his position to the stranger. Who was the one that had sneaked in without Jolon even noticing? Was Asterr okay with this stranger being here? Had he missed some sort of recruitment? 

All the questions going through his head had almost made him lose track of what he was doing clearly, for a black male was now visible a few feet away from him. Jolon lifted up his big head, trying not to make a sound as he observed this new wolf. He was around the same size, perhaps a bit taller, as Jolon and similar in shade of black too. However he looked older as Jolon, maybe around 36 moons. He seemed like the kind of wolf you did not want to mess around with, but so was Jolon. So, with his tail high, wagging like a flag, and ears perked up he approached the black male. He made sure he wasn't too close to the brute before speaking up.

Good morning. As confused by the situation as Jolon was, he didn't break his habit of starting a conversation with a polite 'hello'. His voice however, was as cold as the winter breeze on the highest top of the mountain, not showing any emotion to this big stranger. Do you perhaps know a raven female going by the name Asterr? Jolon continued, keeping his tone the same. Asterr had said that there would be others on the mountain, and if they knew her they would probably be followers of her as well.
