i don't want to live a lie

ah, sorry sorry sorry!!!

Dante, for some strange reason, had been up before the sun today. Upon waking he found he could not get back to sleep, so his paws carried him out of the territory instead. If he was going to get such an early start he might as well go do something.

He had made it as far as the mountains to the south before slowing. He knew that a pack had once dwelt here somewhere, but pretty much all traces were gone. He had met a few who had called this place home and hoped that they had simply relocated.

Hunkering down under a tree, he looked about him, taking in the new area. He hadn't meant to drift off, but before he knew it, he was waking up to te sound of someone nearby. Leaping to his feet, a growl was quickly bit back. It was a knee jerk reaction, one that he doubted he would eever lose no matter how long he lived in the plateau.
