Jade Fern Grove I walked alone

Large black body, with red ascents walked and tramped through the area. White rim around eye glowing lightly in the dusky shadows as the night fell. Arric had yet to meet any wolves of any type of interest to him. Sure they were kind enough, but most were just passing, fleeting conversations.

There wasn't a set time he had to find a pack. he knew he could survive in winter, if he must. He had done it before. It was merely a matter of caches in neutral territory and holding down a spot for the cold months and moving on after it was over. He could do it, if he put the work in.

There was still a small ember of hope that he'd find something, anything worth meeting and staying for.
