Golden Glade Shadows In The Night

Aspen moved through the tunnels that weaved through the mountain side heading for the open summer air. It was a gorgeous night for a walk not too hot but not too cool and not raining. Which it had done quite a bit of lately. Aspen took a moment to glance over to Charley as he signaled for her to take the lead.

She knew exactly where she wanted to go. The clearing that contained a pretty good thinking rock, it earned that title the first time she saw it when she ran into Shalon in the woods. Its open there with a clear view of the sky, a wolf could lay there for hours just thinking about whatever was on their mind. It was perfect.

Charley mentioned actually having something he wanted to talk about with her and immediately he had her full attention as they trailed through the trees. He explained that it was nothing bad just that he had been thinking with all the cahnges going on in his life he wanted one more thing to be truly free of his past.

A new name. Alder. Alder. She smiled softly as she liked the way the name sounded when she repeated it in her head. "I think it's perfect," she said softening the last word ever so slightly. It was true, the name was perfect. Something about it just suited the masked male. "May I ask what made you choose that name?" she asked with her usual tilt of her head.
