Frostfire Ridge a last minute man of faith

maybe someone from moonglow? but all welcome! <3

as the morning waned into afternoon and then begun it's gradual shift into evening the snowfall that had plagued majority of the day had turned into a light rain. arius does not mind; though he barely feels the cold air that drifts from the glacier along the ridge. there is a numbness within him emotionally that is only broken by the heavy press of sorrow that threatens to drown him and the white hot splice of anger that threatens to burn him.

stuck between two warring disasters within himself as he tries ( and fails more than he'd like to admit ) to process the death of not just one but both parents.

he holds to the fact that ensio remains, and that lane had heard and acknowledged his desire to train as for a leadership position.

the agreement he made: that he would get to know the wolves of duskfire hangs looming in front of him. patrols offered an effective distraction from his miasma of emotions ...but he felt he was already failing on his end, feeling like he hasn't made much of a leeway.

and even so, it is not the wolves of the glacier he seeks but rather the wolves of their allies; those of moonglow. for weren't, he reasons, allies just as important?
