Shadewood Everdream

Alone again. It wasn't to his surprise that he and Chai had separated, however it was to his confusion. He had no recollection of them parting ways, which only deepened his worry. They hadn't known each other long but she was still something he only wished good upon. His heart would drop when he considered that she may not be able to find Shadewood at all and it could all be his fault. Although Atticus wouldn't recall, their reason for separating was actually his own account. Well...kind of. After a quick hunt of chasing a particularly limber rabbit, Atticus's hormones were blazing and it wasn't much longer after his meal was caught that he was no longer the same wolf. His mind had leaped over the canyon splitting his brain and landed onto Percival's territory. 

For the time being, though, he was back to his "normal" self. His hopes and fear were increasing drastically with every paw step closer to Shadewood. His nose began to fill with familiar markings that reminded him of the last time he was here, although they were much stronger and harder to ignore. For a brief second he could've sworn he got a whiff of the sweet scent of his short-lived companion but it was muddled out by an even stronger cologne. 

Buffalo!

No longer was his head filled with questions, worries, hopes, or fears. Puppy-like excitement had completely washed out any other emotion. Immediately, the young wolf sprinted towards the mammoth, bursting through the trees with the speed of a gazelle. His enthusiasm got the best of him once he finally reached his lost pair and when he tried to stop himself only ended up sliding forward and went face-first into the ground. It seemed no matter what interaction the mountain and the boy were having, he'd end up disorientated somehow. He lifted his head up and shook his fur back into place and instead of meeting eyes with the great and powerful boulder, he locked gazes with his own piercing glaciers. Wait, no... they were Chai's! He smiled wide and felt a weight remove from his shoulders. "Oh man, I'm so glad to see you're okay."
