Welcome

You are taking a walk through the woods one day. Exploring, looking for something, anything other than the pups wanting to tug your tail back at the pack. A walk, to clear your thoughts. You take a deep breath of the crisp air. When a growl resounds behind you. You slowly turn to see a cream wolf behind you. Her olive eyes narrowed, and sparkling in the light.

"Who are you and what do you want?" The wolf snarled. You hear a rustle in the bush. The wolf gently swishes her tail and it stops. Suddenly, it makes sense. You quickly explain who you are and that you mean no harm. She blinks, and slightly softens.

"Sure." She replied. "And-"

"Sand Storm? Can we come out now?" A young squeak called.

"Yeah, I'm tired of playing hide and seek." A second replied.

"I'm hungry too." A third chimed in. Sand Storm, as the wolf was called, developed a grumpier expression.

"Fine...come out." She said. She looked you directly in the eye. "Enjoy your walk." She turned with the pups romping behind her. You call to her and she freezes, slowly looking over her shoulder. You explain that you realize you might be lost, and in need of direction.

"I can't help you." She replies. A pup jumping for her tail. "But someone at my camp might."

She turns leaving you to follow.
