Silver Creek red sky in morning

This was about as far away from home as Ole could withstand. The bitterness that followed him like a shadow had dissipated some miles back, almost as if it had simply given up on dragging him down. Ole didn't mind that, honestly. The sooner he forgot about the little black wolf from his past, the better. Besides, it wasn't like leaving had been out of the realm of possibility forever. There was a wanderlust in his heart that had been there since birth, but with the departure of his siblings in one way or another, the wolf had felt obligated to stay. Someone had to be the good child, didn't they? But his childhood friend had gone and injured his pride in such a way that he felt it necessary to escape, and so he did.

There was another little black wolf in his life, one he had promised the world and intended to give. The traveling had been difficult and slow, but Ole hadn't been in a hurry. They took their time and were finally rewarded with greenery aplenty, with a strangely glistening river running along the ground. Ole's attention shifted to Mauti, a crooked grin dancing along his lips. "Stop here for now?" he rumbled softly, giving a nonchalant flick of his tail.  It seemed nice, almost like the forest they had left behind. They both needed the rest and he was quite eager to flop onto the ground and sleep for hours on end.  Hims was a tired boy.
