Oh the day was sunny and oh so nice! The birds sang in the trees and I was almost inclined to sing with them. It was early still, but the sky was awake so I was awake. My grey body seemed to vibrate with excitement and energy. What a splendid day it was going to be! I didn't waste anytime dashing out of my den in, galloping like a free spirit. My laughter filled the the silent forest, shattering it completely. My heart pounded as a grin pulled at my cheeks, making me look like a weirdo. But that was okay, because I was happy. I didn't care what others thought of me.

Like most days, I didn't really know where I was going. I just let instincts lead the way and off I went. I usually went running, because I could never get there fast enough. Life moved too fast for me to walk! I'd be an adult soon. While the idea of being a grown up and not being looked down on was nice, I liked being a pup. I could play when I wanted and be whoever I wanted to be. Plus, grown ups just didn't seem very happy. They stalked around with frowns on their maws and I didn't understand. Wasn't being alive reason enough for them to smile? I know it was for me! Anything after that was just a plus. Poor silly adults they all are. I hope I never become like them.

I could smell it in the wind as I unknowingly ran straight to the crags. So many different scents danced in the air, so many wolves to meet. I loved making friends! I currently had three: Shiloh the Angel princess, Nogitsune the Demon prince, and Alusion the pirate. They all held a special place in my heart, and i'd cherish them forever. I knew they'd all grow up and change, but that was alright. I'd still stay loyal to them, i'd do anything for them. I hoped to make more friends out of all the wolves I smelt. I was going to have more friends than my mom did soon! Course my foster mommy had been dead for a couple of seasons now, so she couldn't make more friends to compete against me. But I wanted to make her proud, and be a good wolf like she'd raised me to be; one that everyone liked.

I dashed into the clearing where many wolves sat around. I was flabergasted at how many wolves were here! Some looked nice, while others.....not so much. But it didn't change the smile that was on my face as I came to a stop in the center of the group, my tail wagging happily. My vibrant purple eyes scanned all the strangers, noting one in particular I knew. I gasped and dashed towards Alusion, coming up next to him. "Ahoy Captain Alusion!" I squeaked in a happy go lucky tone. I had no idea what was going on here, but I could tell it was fun.
