King Elk Forest kodoku

It did not take long before the smells of the unfamiliar were washed away by a scent that he knew confidently. The young boy turned his sights to the woman of the forest and his tail flagged softly behind him. She had been so kind to him since he had arrived on her doorstep in search of his brother. She had offered him and their mother a home – had allowed him to learn the wood and had expected only one thing from him. Kiyoshi had not thought to touch the elk who roamed the forest; he knew their importance to the queen.
 
“Lady Celnes Deorwine,” he greeted her with a respectful bow of his head and a submissive stance.
 
The Draconid boy wondered if she would like to join him on his border search. It would have been polite for him to ask, but the stoic young figure waited to see if his lady needed anything from him. He had been a member of Kingslend for more than a month and he expected that there would come a time when she would inquire to him about his aspirations within the folds of the elken wolves.
