Lake Rodney Kiss the skies, we're almost home

The cool air enticed Floki away from Moonspear, though he had no intentions to travel far. He ventured south, enjoying the crisp breeze and the whisper of winter on the horizon; soon, his mountainous home would return to its natural state. This time last year, he and Charon and Amekaze had claimed Moonspear -- just in time for ice and snow to cover its slopes. The peak seemed fearsome and dangerous during the colder months, and while the rest of the wilds went dormant it appeared to come alive.

He had no destination in mind but drew up short when he realized he was nearing Redhawk Caldera. His lip curled but before he turned away, he became aware of the presence of another wolf near the edge of the lake. He paused, surveying the stranger quietly for a moment as he decided whether to approach or to turn and slip away unnoticed.
