Horizon Ridge A Flicker in the Wind

The grey wolf tailed behind Pied as she walked toward the treeline. Where she sat, he laid down on his back to watch the stars. It was his new favorite thing to do at nighttime -- watch the blanketed and sparkling sky while listening to the waves of the ocean. Soon, his and Pied's pups would be doing the same.

He rolled over and looked up at Pied after her strange words, giving her a blank look. He cocked his head to the side. "I knew you were special," he started. "Does this mean our pups will also see spirits? I do not have that ability myself..." The male trailed off and adjusted himself in the sand. "Even if you told me you followed a dark god, I do not think that I would desire you any less, Pied." Though, seeing spirits was something very foreign and new to him, he did not press for answers to the questions that swam in his head.

His desire was not for Pied to leave her pack, but she was a grown wolf and could make her own decisions. He just hoped that Hawkeye would still believe the words that she told Pied before.
