Redsand Canyon Could you tell me again what you did this for? [1]

1/5 Warrior thread. Open!

Sleep came too easily once he was situated. It wasn't even a choice: Sivugat found a secluded place among the rocks that was out of the sun, smelled little like other wolves, and could fit his heavy-set body, and promptly passed out.
His dreams were frenetic. It was like he was falling forever, or sinking. There were sounds like a hornet's nest all around him - loudly hissing - and at some point or another, the face of a wolf, or a bear, and many teeth; a mouth that opened and then a gasp, as water poured from the bear's gullet.

When the boy woke he did not know where he was. The sun had moved; he was too hot, and spot-lit between spires of red. His heart was racing and his head was pounding, but it was the heat that really did him in. His tongue felt dry - so he hoisted himself to his feet again and began to prowl along, hunting for water to ease his immense thirst.

His fur stuck up every which way, while a dark puddle of drool (or maybe blood) was left behind on the stone floor where he had earlier collapsed - but Sivugat didn't notice this at all.
