Rising Sun Valley beginning

Majesty wandered this new territory, wondering who he would meet next. It was hot today, and he was glad he had stopped at the lake to get a drink. He was wondering if he wanted to go back to the Great Bear Wilderness, where at least there were many trees to keep him in the shade, when he caught the scent of a nearby female wolf. She was a pack wolf. He could tell from the many different scents underlying hers.

He figured he was in no danger of being attacked, as he wasn't in pack territory, so allowed his natural curiosity to lead him over to the petite she-wolf lying beneath the tree. She was also beside a creek, and this made him happy, as the spray of the water made the temperature go down quite a bit. He approached her slowly, clearing his throat so that she would know he was coming and not be frightened. "Hello," he called to her, his deep lilting voice ringing out. "I am a friend. I did not expect to see another wolf out here, though I suppose I should know better." He chuckled. "How are you this hot afternoon?"
