The Sunspire Fragile and stripped to the core

@Arbiter

He had easily fallen into old routines: solitary patrols. He liked it that way. It was easier to be alone than to try and pretend he was okay in front of the other members of the pack. He'd always preferred his own company save for the few he had been close with. But now they were all gone. He sighed and shook his head to rid his mind of the thoughts. He didn't want to wander down that depressing road right now. He was here to think of anything but his past.

He picked up his pace in hopes it would force him to think about the patrol. His paws on the cold snow, the scents filtering through his nose, the rare sounds of scurrying creatures as he scared them from their hiding places, his breath as it filled his lungs and then as it formed a cloud around his face. He fell into the desired zone. Pure focus as he continued to make his way through the mountains.
