Sunbeam Lair Vagabond

@Asterr

She made her way through the mountainous area, weary and tired. the traveler felt her legs shake during her walking pace, the cold bit at paws and body ferociously. She was arriving later than normal, practically at sundown. Snow fell from the sky, cold winds blew through her body, and all was silent. the vagabond returned from her mission, a mission that led her back home before making her turn right back around. The trip was much longer than expected but nonetheless proved her fears were true. Her original home was gone and taken over by the two legged animals that took away her family. But that was behind her.

Shikoba felt her fur spike up at the cold and scents of others. as much as she didn't feel very social at the moment, she needed to find somewhere to stay for the rest of winter. staying outside like she had been doing for the past couple of months wasn't working out for her. The Mexican wolf felt her heartbeat quicken at the sight before her. A cave! The scent of wolves wafted through the chilly air, attracting Shikoba to the cave entrance, though she remained far behind the imaginary line that was drawn by the scent markings.

She parted her dark lips, then let out a low howl, one asking for a leader, or at least, someone to come and see her. She understood that it was dark and growing cold and they might not even see her until tomorrow morning. But she needed to try, try at least once before she left. Shikoba settled herself down, her haunches placed lightly in the snow was snowflakes began to land in her soft coat. her eyes were shut, as if she was afraid to look at any wolves who were on their way (hopefully).
