Stone Circle Sweet Sunrise

Gunnar woke with the sunrise. His body protesting at the movements that presented themselves. The bones, they creaked and groaned. The ache in his joints was harsh and unyielding, but it was what it was. He tilted his head and stretched further. Shaking the limbs free of their elder pain, he moved.

They would loosen and free themselves of the pain eventually, he just had to get moving. The new sun pressed against his back, giving warmth where there had been cold. His steel grey eyes beneath sandy mask stared out over the land he was now responsible for and then he looked around at the different dens that housed the wolves that now were also his responsibility. Sometimes he almost couldn't even believe that here he was a leader, next to his adopted daughter. He knew as she came into her own, he'd be stepping back, but well it was still in the works. She had a lot to learn.

Stiff legged he continued through the walk, it slowly loosened and his gait was smooth.
