Duskfire Glacier dynasties and dystopia

arius spent most of his time on the borders, knowing that eventually ( soon ), he would have to branch out and start working on making a good impression on the wolves of duskfire glacier. there was an influx of new wolves but he made a mental list that started with those whom had been around longer — those who had been pushed aside in his foolish and desperate care of his father.

still, arius cannot find it within himself to entirely ignore the borders. patrolling brought some sort of stability and within that, purpose.

the scent of meerkat draws his attention then, as his path crosses with one more recently made by her. it did not take him long to find her, staring off into space ...or perhaps the lake — arius could not be certain and if he'd have been older and more world wise, might've considered it a thousand yard stare.

he chuffs to garner her attention, if the sound of his slowing yet approaching footfalls did not first alert her to his presence.
