Sarah patrolled the borders. It was a routine and sometimes a bit boring job that the grizzled she-wolf found joy in. Her wounds had healed and fever had killed the infection, but it was a long way for her to return to full health. If that was ever going to happen at all. But she found that philosophy" it does not matter, how much I do, but that I can do it at all" helped her very much.

There were no enemies to fend off, therefore guarding was fairly easy. With every passing day the distance she could cover without losing her breath got longer and every such small victory boosted her confidence. And today there was no longer the slumped and withdrawn-looking figure meandering around, but a she-wolf, who walked in a brisk pace and with a proud look in her eyes. First success had fuelled passion.
