He had gotten even bigger over the year, large thick limbs carried him slowly with the weight he was forcing himself to bear, pushing himself the limits to which he could be pushed. He probably looked ridiculous, not to mention a bit foolish, but to train the body to be stronger he knew he had to look a bit silly to do so. He always trained himself away from everyone else. He had gotten the idea from beavers of all things grabbing progressively larger branches and dragging them about, though usually his mouth hurt before the rest of him. He was on the far edges of Taviora, far to the north. The drought had ended the lives of many trees some of them had crashed to the ground giving him the perfect weights.

He knew he was weird, odd and different. But part of him didn't care if he was a little different. He wasn't quite as self-conscious as his father, but he wasn't as bold or brazen as his mother or brother either. He was a lot like his grandfather if anyone at all. A bit awkward, but not afraid of other wolves or talking. His goal right now was to train himself to be the greatest protector of the forest he could be without being 'King'. Ruling really wasn't on his to-do list, he didn't care if he ruled or not, only that the forest was safe and those that lived in it were happy. He didn't need to be king to do that despite Tepi's own goals he was content doing what he was doing. Improving himself before doing much more.

With a heave he pulled the log a little further, chocolate colored form moving across the ground as he dragged the rather large piece of lumber until a loud crack filled the air. Teza had pulled once more this time the branch he had a hold of that connected him to the log had broken off sending him tumbling backwards and into a mess on the ground. "Owww." He groaned, slowly lifting himself back up, testing his jaws by opening and closing them a few times. He was happy with himself, he could see where the log, that was easily two times his length had left scrapes in the ground. Perhaps he hadn't dragged it all that far but it was probably more than most could.

His tail waved, mismatched eyes following the trail to where not far behind him he had a little pile of smaller things he had picked up and dragged into a pile on his previous 'training days'. His muscles ached a bit, a sign that he had put in some work for the day, enough at least that he could justify sitting on his small wooden 'castle' for a bit and enjoy the late fall weather. It would get cold again soon, and probably more impossible to do his little regiments soon so he thought he would try again later. For now though it was time to just relax and enjoy the peace he had for the time being.
