King Elk Forest Exploration of the new world

 Thank ya kindly

The multi colored male continued his way through the forest, unaware of his spectator. He casually kept his pace, and occasionally stuck his nose to the ground to hunt for a scent, Rye had hopes of finding a meal but he also did so partly because another wolf may have gone through recently. So far so good until the scent of a rabbit caught Rye's full attention, his belly growled angrily, upset that a meal had been missed earlier that day. The trail seemed fresh, tracks still clearly evident within the snow and a scent still strong. Within minutes Rye was crouched somewhat low, traversing the land and weaving through trees as he followed the scent. It wasn't long before the male caught sight of the rabbit, it had its back turned to him. Everything was perfect.

Except the wind.

A sharp wind whipped Rye's scent straight towards the bun and alerted his meal to his presence. With the kick of some snow, the rabbit was gone and Rye was left rather grumpy. He was so close to having that plumb rabbit squeezed between his powerful jaws but no, the wind just had to ruin it but quickly all thoughts of the rabbit flew out the door as the male caught scent of something unknown. Instinct raised Rye's hackles and tail, his body hairs stood on ends in an attempt to made himself look bigger and more intimidating. "Who's there? Show yourself." Rye ordered, his tone harsh and demanding.
