Totoka River Just Around the Riverbend

Hope you don't mind me :D

As much as he tried to stay close to Stavanger Bay, having not fully recovered yet from a month of little food and constant travelling, Atreyu could not help but wander - this time out of the pack territory completely. He had strayed into the grassy fields just beyond the shoreline for a while before rounding back, following a lazy river back to ocean. His pace was as slow as the water, a casual amble as his eyes darted around the area, taking it in. Oddly, now that he had a place to call home, he felt more comfortable exploring, not having to worry about when his next meal was or where he would be able to find the best place to sleep.

His gait having slowed to a snail's pace, the juvenile opted to simply stop walking altogether, flopping onto the bank of the river and rolling in the grass that bordered it. The world spun as he rolled, a glimpse of the sky and then the river, grass, sky again, river...wolf? Jolting upright, the boy suddenly locked his gaze onto the figure on the other side of the river just a little ways downstream. They seemed to be intent on something in the waters. Settling himself into a more alert position, Atreyu continued to stare curiously, eyes flicking from the dark wolf to the river and then back again.
