Swiftcurrent Creek Stay out of the circle

I wasn't going to get into any more threads... but I couldn't resist! :D

It was another day and another adventure for Ultraviolet. Today, she followed the river's twisting, winding course inland until she found herself over the familiar Greatwater Lake. She hooked a sharp left, heading in a perpendicular line to the northeast. From up here, the snowy mountaintops sparkled in the midday sunlight, though it was the dazzling radiance bouncing off another, smaller lake which drew her downward finally.

UV flapped over Arrow Falls, then dropped with the altitude as she coasted over Lower Arrow Lake. She found herself following a waterway again, this time a small creek. Down below, she saw the familiar figures of wolves running across the snowy landscape. Intrigued, the jay tilted her wings and began to drop slowly. She spotted a copse of trees and aimed for it, though as she descended and eventually landed on a bare limb, she lost sight of the wolves.

A flicker of movement on the ground caught her eye instead and UV chirped when she saw it was a delicious beetle. It was just about lunchtime! Before she could spring off her perch and snatch it, a wolf suddenly appeared. Like the two others she'd recently met, it wore a pale coat. It was a lot smaller and its features were younger. Even to a Steller's jay's eye, the pup was adorable.

When he swallowed her beetle, Ultraviolet squawked in surprise. "You eat beetles too?!" she gasped without thinking, her black eyes shining as she tipped forward on the branch. "They're my favorite!"
