Dawnlark Plains Textbook narcissism? Agreed.

@Aeronwyn - I do have to keep things somewhat vague waiting on some threads to finish up :)

Stark made his way from the Grotto, heading out alone. He had diverted off his chosen path to head out before he did something brash. It wouldn't serve his purpose well and his little mission would be forfeit if he acted out against the pompous old woman. While he wasn't the type to strictly adhere to rules - were he, he'd still be with his family - but he did believe in loyalty and respect. 

He was trekking through the lands, a movement up ahead catching his attention. The dark wolf crouched, even without the brush of tall grass against his fur to help to hide him it was a natural instinct. He didn't know what the small lifeform was but he was dedicated to the cause, hoping to snag a small meal to fuel himself on his journey back.
