The Sunspire a new dawn

@Rannoch

The morning air was rather cold today, although it was spring winter still seemed to linger here. There was frost on the meadow, every little blade of grass coated in a fine layer of dew and ice. A low, thin fog hung in the air and laid close to the ground. Her paws made a soft crunching sound with every step as the somewhat stiff blades bent beneath her. Ember made her way along the river which still had a tanslucent layer of ice hanging in parts of it, unwilling to let go and melt into the rest of the water. It was barely dawn but the golden female often found herself to be an early riser. She had come so far now that she felt she must carry on until she found.....something. She could feel it, she was close to whatever was awaiting her here. She had been alone for a long time now, but all of that was about to change.

The tall wolf lowered her neck and let her dark pink nose trail along the earth. She was picking up the scent of another, a large male.... The scent was all over, forming a boundary here. She must have found a pack area, someone surely owned this place based on these distinct markers. She may have been somewhat young, and not too familiar with other wolves, but she knew better than to enter someone else's domain without an invitation. Ember stood waiting, her plush tail slowly gliding back and forth in the air, head held high peering over the mist for anyone who may be out there. She let out a small whine just in case, hoping someone would find her.
