King Elk Forest It's a cold winter.

@Mato, but others are welcome too to find him.

Burke was out of his den, though he didn't know if it was the smartest decision. The elder felt the cold winds on his skin. This was a new development as his winter coat was not coming through as the years before. He shivered with each step. But he wanted to feel useful. He wanted to help his grandson with the pack. Plus, he felt if he would stay in his den for too long he would never leave it again. His days were numbered, he knew.

Burke moved through the thick snow towards the borders. His idea was to patrol the borders. With each step, he grew more tired. Before he realized what was happening the elder felt the cold snow around him. Luckily the deep snow broke his fall. The elder closed his eyes in tiredness. The male was always quite determined but now he lost that drive and just liked to sleep.
