Stavanger Bay We were young once

Carp stared off into the beautiful landscape that came to his sight, screaming with life and beauty. His tail gave a soft wag as he realized what his life could be in such a pack that could run through the wild happily. He gave off an announcement howl to the leader of the pack to announce his presence and then sat at the border. He was a good boy, so he stayed still. The life around him seemed to blossom and his tired bones felt rejuvenated thanks to how beautiful the flora had been. 

Carp had been travelling a long time before he had settled on a pack to join. It was weird for him to think of how long he had been alone and wanted to talk to someone while he travelled far and wide. He was probably going to be a tad older than the others in the pack, but he hoped to be a good packmate to them all and maybe even be a friend to someone. Hell, maybe he would even find a mate someday. All in due time, he decided.
