Horizon Ridge Back to the wild

For several weeks Bambi had become reclusive. A brief illness had taken hold of her, perhaps as a result of the malnutrition that had plagued her during her earlier travels. She had remained in the shadows of Neverwinter Forest for as long as she could before she had departed all together. Socializing with the other wolves there had been difficult for her. Bambi liked to think she was outgoing enough, but perhaps her pack mates in Neverwinter weren’t the same way. Needless to say when the female started feeling like herself again, it was not the coniferous woodland that she returned to.

Bambi had journeyed north and sought acceptance in Horizon Ridge. A male named Akhlut had welcomed her into his ranks. He’d left a favorable impression upon the she-wolf and she had high hopes that her new home would offer more opportunity than her last. That brisk February day found Bambi wandering through the trees, her senses alight with all that her new surroundings had to offer. Horizon Ridge seemed a great deal different to her than Neverwinter Forest, and she found that she rather liked that. Change was a good thing, she believed. Horizon Ridge would take some getting used to, and Bambi hoped that her health would not fail her again.

She was drawn towards the beach by the salty scent that lingered in the air. The ocean was something she was only somewhat familiar with, and Bambi was excited by the fact that her new home would grant her the opportunity to be near it as often as she pleased. Her paws carried her slowly and deliberately through a trail that descended onto the sandy dunes. Pale audits perked forward eagerly as the sounds of the waves upon the shore grew louder. A ways ahead, Bambi spotted another light-furred wolf. She was not yet close enough to notice the others’ peculiar markings or injuries. “Hello down there!” she called, tail swaying in an amiable manner against her heels. She would not approach until she knew her presence would be welcomed by her pack mate.
