King Elk Forest Beautiful Beginnings

Matteo shows up on the borders quite by accident, but will by the end of this thread, decide to stay. ;3 Multiple welcome!

The chilling winds that bit from the mountain peaks rushed across Matteo's pelt, sleeking it flat, as he trodded along the rocky, pine-dotted path. He had attempted a brief trek into the mountains proper, simply as something to accomplish, but quickly grew bored of the adventure. Too cold. Too windy. The air, too thin. He was on his way back down, but his path had wound him into a loop. Now, his trail had come to a hard stop, and quite suddenly, as he stumbled over his paws at the scent of a border marking. He turned his nose to the tree he'd just passed and realized immediately that he'd crossed into some pack's territory. Not the best way to say hello to the locals... but as he stood there staring at the tree, he wondered if it'd be less or more offensive to back up again, now that his scent was clear across the line anyway.

He opted to stay put, but announce himself, as not to stir up trouble. He threw his head back in a long-winded howl, the call not entirely wolfish, like an accented song. As his voice echoed into the distance, he sat himself with head low, waiting patiently to see if anyone would answer his summons.
