Peaceful...

It must have been a word with many definitions. Others in the pack had said winter was peaceful. They said the bright white of the snow was pure and lovely and the emptiness of the lands, in comparison to the other seasons, gave a sense of tranquility. Haziel could not agree less. Winter had not fallen in line with his understanding of peace.

Cold air, dry air, carried sound much farther. The snow crunched; it was sharp and its cold made the pads of his paws crack. Without the typical foliage to buffer the wind, it screamed through the open space and shrieked painfully on bare, bony branches and the sharp cliff walls. Scents were frozen, floored to the ground as the cold air pushed them down. Winter was loud and dry and cold. He had found no peace in winter.

But that was all gone. The warm, moist air buffered noise down to a normal level. Wind was softened by new, lush foliage, no longer screaming incessantly in his sensitive ears. The world smelled alive again, earthy and sweet. He could feel his paws mending over from the winter damage, each day better and softer than the last. Birdsong brought a natural harmony to the land, something Haziel realized he had sorely missed during the cold months. For him, this chattering of birds and rustling of grass and trees was peaceful.

They yearling boy lay on his side in the warmth of the spring sun, a still, red-dusted bit of onyx outside his mother's den. Isola was due for puppies soon and his large family was all buzzing on that subject. New puppies, new siblings for him to disappear behind. He wasn't sure how he felt about the subject just yet and supposed he wouldn't know for sure until after it all happened.

Maybe his mother would worry less for him, grant him greater freedom, with a new litter to occupy her time and worry. That would be nice. Haziel looked forward to the day he no longer had to sneak out of the den in order to get some alone time like a normal boy. Really, he got around just fine. If she would only see for herself, however ironic that sounded coming from a blind wolf. But Isola still saw him as defenseless, or so it seemed. Blind, defenseless, and needing of constant supervision.

One of these days....

One of these days, somebody would realize he was made perfect in his own way.

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.
