Thunder Dome When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

A soft sound makes Morningstar startle, and he whirls around, letting out a soft yelp. Well away from him stands a gigantic white wolf, regarding him coldly. Morningstar lets out a whimper without realizing it. This was clearly a wolf from a pack, and he just stepped into their territory. "I-I'm sorry," Morningstar choked out, side-stepping in front of the wolf to show his good intentions. "I didn't mean to trespass." Morningstar ducks his head in respect.
"And I know winter's not here yet, I'm just not accustomed to the cold," he whispers after a few seconds of silence. He dares to look up at the wolf.
