Fishblight Mire Turning away from the Abyss

Yay! Hi Em! Thanks for picking this up :)

Orkan had only just fallen asleep when he started relive the nightmare he had just left only now he was the one being held down, the rain moistening his muzzle and exposed stomach, the lightning causing occasional blindness. Orkan began whining pitifully and trying to squirm to freedom when a dark shape loomed above him and smiled wickedly, "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!" it yelled over the rising storm to the gathered wolves.  A flash of lightning nearer the horizon, and not within Orkan's view of the sky, revealed the looming shadow to be Orkan's father a split second before he began tearing into Orkan's side. Orkan thrashed, trying to avoid his father's tearing teeth and claws when he suddenly woke and once again found himself on the edge of the swamp, only there was a wolf prodding his side with its muzzle.

Orkan, still gripped in the fear of nightmare, whined, bolted onto all fours and backpedaled into the pool he had been drinking from. "Hey! What're you doing?!" Orkan growled, his courage quickly returning with his ability to stand, "I was attempting to rest a little and maybe replenish myself with a little water, if this is your packs land I'll move along.". Orkan was still trembling from fear, but as he realized that he'd fallen asleep and that the other wolf hadn't done anything to harm him he realized he'd been in the wrong. Orkan breathed deeply through a mud covered muzzle and looked at the other wolf who had woken him. It was a silvery gray female, slender with deep green eyes and white along her paws, muzzle, tail-tip, legs and belly she was made even more slender by what appeared to be a lack in nutrition. "Maybe she's a loner like I am?", thought Orkan, "Great, someone who could help me in this new land and I yell at her even before properly knowing her.". Orkan quickly assumed a submissive stance, tail held slightly between his hind legs and ears flat against his head, "I beg your pardon, I was only sleeping and had a nightmare when you startled me, allow me to introduce myself. My name's Orkan what's yours?".
