            You wander through the desert aimlessly, silence a constant companion in what feels like an impossible task. You had heard of a pack deep within this desert but thus far, signs of life dwindle in the growing heat of the day. In the distance, a rocky out cropping resurrects hope within you. Perhaps, you will not die today. The canyon cools your scorching fur but offers very little in respite. It is still the desert, offering silence and heat as gifts to its residents. Quickly though you realize your mistake, you are not alone. Your fur raises rapidly along your spine but sound and scent escape you in the stillness of the air. You prepare for battle but how does one fight against an enemy you cannot see. It is then you hear it, a sound behind you. It is soft, quiet, merely a breath but it has you turning at the ready. 

               It is not what you expected but whether you are worried or relieved is yet to be seen. The wolf is young but his eyes freeze you in place. They express an age beyond his days, as if he had grown up too quickly. There is no doubt in your mind that this is an Alpha and while you had been searching for him, he has found you. He sniffs you once and seems to come to a conclusion, though he says nothing. Turning away he indicates for you to follow but doesn’t stop to see if you understand. You are conflicted, should you follow? Is it safe? Your question is answered for you when you notice a multitude of eyes peering at you from every shadowy corner. Safer than here you conclude, quickly you dart after him.
