It was freezing cold. Even his thick fur didn't do anything to prevent him from feeling the chill. To keep watch he ran along the borders, his breath panting in short bursts of clouds in front of his muzzle. His thoughts were on the season, the air smelled of various females going through their heat but none of them were Aliac so he stayed away. A call sang through the air and he froze, ears shooting upward at the voice that made it. His heart skipped a beat, a paralyzing wave of hope drowning out any other thoughts. Dawn. His sister. 

Quickly he raced for the sound though unfortunately he was too late to catch her at Elysium. He spotted the kill she had left, curious as to why she had left it there and vanished. The confusion turned to concern and then to anger. She had vanished once, he wouldn't allow her to do so again. Quickly he dragged the kill inside the territory and then headed outside the borders, following the faint trails. It felt like he was following a ghost and he paused wondering briefly if he was allowing all the loss to drive him mad. 

She had just vanished out of nowhere back at the Maplewoods. No warning, no trail. Why had she done that? Why had she left him there alone to handle the aftermath of the fire? Why was she now leading him....he looked around. He recognized the area. He sniffed around and followed the stronger trails until he lifted his gaze and there she was. He stood there silently staring at her, not daring to blink in fear that the wind would blow her away leaving her to be simply an apparition of his mind. When she didn't vanish he took a step closer, his eyes flashing as hurt and anger arrived first. Where had she been? Why hadn't she let him know she was okay? He flicked his ears and continued forward his expression changing quickly into one of joy, a sharp whine leaving his maw. He didn't care that she had left, not when she had come back. He had lost too much for him to wreck this with anger. "Dawn...I missed you!" he whispered and sprang forward, intending to embrace her and check her over with sniffs.
