A single eye of glittering winterwater, a well-muscled spine, and unhurried paws made from stone. This was a wolf that had run more miles than most, tread over more terrains and seen more lands. Wake found in his thoughts a stirring of respect for the dark wolf, this Sun Eater of Sun Clan, Saatsine. He cleared space for the preconception to grow and loomed over it with his paw in case he needed to quickly stamp it out.
