I have never seen such beauty in such land, the way the rising sun kissed the earth before leaving for the sky each day was something truly magnificent. I notice that each day I reside upon these lands, the more glory grows and the more I see. I don't regret a single thought of finding my way here. I realize that each day I spend here, my life become brighter, my history remains a mystery to others still, and even sometimes I forget about it.
There is so much peace held within these lands that I've felt as free as a lone wolf should be. Each wolf here, I've learned, has been willing to share the loner lands with me, unlike my last home. There is a larger variety of food, which keeps me happy and healthy, and I'm not having to steal it from another. The water source isn't being hogged by others either, putting me in a satisfying mood.
Though, it still leaves me wondering, how do the packs that love amongst this land act? I've never considered joining one, no the thought never struck. Though I do feel that the time will come, leaving me with such a decision. My thoughts can only bear so much, thus having me shake my head in disbelief.
I stood from my perch atop the lush bank, and shook my felt free if the freezing water that had clung to it; releasing a frozen weight from myself. My banner waved as I turned, only to meet another I hadn't realized had been approaching. I sat once more, ears moving forward and awaiting his approach. Though, my gaze only wandered afar.
Once the brute had spoken a query, I gesture a slight nod, meeting his gaze with my own golden rimmed, ember hues.
"Indeed it is, mate."
After a moment, I had come to the conclusion that this brute was like no other I had met before wondering here. He was but a friend to any, as which I assume by his demeanor. My hackles did not raise when I noticed his approach, nor did I feel the least amount of cautious. I could see that in his stance, he meant no harm... And neither do I.
I gaze out upon the land once more, taking in the scenery as before. "I've come to realize, in a place this beautiful, that any day is a good day for a swim. Unless, of course, the winter is in course and the waters are frozen. That would be suicide."
I give him a calm look, though on the inside I am laughing at myself. I play a good roll in not showing how I feel about my humor, and then brush it off as if I hadn't been laughing at all. It would make me a fool to show such childish behavior in such company. But, what exactly is he here for? Surely I hadn't called upon his attention in a way as to have him approach. Maybe he is just passing through, and dammit if I'm in his way.
"My apologies, mate. I must be in the way of you touring home. Please do not hesitate to pass by me, if that is so."
