Sunbeam Lair Like a wolf, like a predator

Jolon was a true guardian when it came to his home, especially now with Ezimette being gone. He needed something, or someone, to keep him from going totally insane from worry. This morning was the same as any other. No Ezimette by his side, the only real friends being Asterr and Noctura. He would never leave their side, but what if they left him? What would become of him alone, no one to guide him, no one to guide? He couldn't live without his home anymore, and it almost felt like it couldn't survive without him also. Ryujin, his home, his only sanctuary forever. 

Living on the mountains for so long had made his body more capable of walking on the uneven terrain, especially with his frequent trips to the roof and his daily borderwork. He may have been born on a flat terrain, but there was no denying that he was not a mountain wolf now. Even with the famine having clearly touched his muscled build, he still kept his towering height. 

His silence and unending thought were interrupted by a female howl, and his ears perked up. It was close, maybe too close. He almost sprinted to the side of the border where she stood; a female that almost looked identical to Ezimette...

His face went from shocked to disbelief and anger. His dull gray eyes became almost flaming. But then he calmed down, realizing that this was not Ezimette. What do you seek so close to my home? He rumbled.
