The wolf stopped in the meadow and turned its snout upward, watching the falling snowflakes. Winter is a harsh season, but Akari had always liked the conjoint lighting brought by sun and snow: everything was clear. On a flatland like that, she could see beyond the horizon.
However, the plain is still capable of hiding dangers: tufts of grass stiffened and burnt by frost sprout from the snow like needles, and the cold turns the paws numb. Wolves raised in these lands may be insensitive to the stings of grass, but Akari's pads were still too soft: she only realized that she was hurt by the smell of blood. The infinite field stretched out before her, and as far as she could see, it offered no shelter.
She whined, more out of frustration than pain, and kept walking, leaving behind a trail of bloody pawprints.
