Arrow Lake What a fine time to be alive

@Terance

The days were cooling off, a telltale sign that Autumn was here, and it was the season of impending frost. Despite the coolness of the air, Onyxia found it still warm enough to enjoy a late afternoon swim. She spotted the lake not far off from Emberlfame ridge, where she entered the territory. Her eyes lit up with delight as she bounded toward the lake without a second thought. The thoughts of the post-apocalyptic Lower Mainland was drawing further away from her mind faster than she assumed would happen. 

She swam swiftly and athletically panting lightly with joy as the lake was actually still quite warm. The water was perfect! It wasn't long before she decided her fire was out and that she wanted to leave the water. She swam for another few moments before getting out and shaking herself dry. She spotted a large stick sitting a few feet away and darted toward it, as if it were prey. She was bored, and was in dire need of company, good or bad, just to keep her on her toes. 

She lowered her body to the ground slowly as she held the thick stick in her jaws, and placed one end between her paws and knawed at it as if it was nothing. She peeled, and pulled, chewed and gnawed unaware that someone could be lurking nearby. She for once had let her guard down, and may have been vulnerable for a potential attack; although her back was facing the lake, she had eyes on the forest ahead of her. But even that may not have been good enough. But for now, she felt pretty secure in her surroundings. She had only met one other wolf since she had been here, and she helped the pack wolf out. 

Shocked she had not yet met any others despite the place soaked with the scent of other wolves nearby, and many of them!
