Hondurr

In Life

Hondurr the Founder and first Lead of the "Wolf" Pack

This Wolf certainly had to grow into his role. When goofing around with his similarily free-minded companion quea he just proclaimed "I will create a new pack running under these skies" they both had their head in the clouds,  trailing the countryside of the decidious forest and decided "sure, why not?" .

Oh how they were in over their heads! Hondurr had so much to learn and looking back he would have never choosen himself as lead if he had the choice. Gone were the days of frolicking in the fields, now he had to manage a pack, convince Wolves older and more experienced to join, give out roles to the most suited members, take inventory, and keep an eye on the pups and family trees in the pack.

In the beginning the earliest pack members were a big help, loners like Nugget had pity on the inexperienced lead and showed him the basics of being a wolf begrudgingly .

The older he grew the more responsibility he took, Hondurr dutifully collected meat scraps on his explorations to support the hunters, making the hard decisions of showing out pack members that had overstayed their welcome and defending the edges of the territory.

Hondurr actually was quite the coward regarding fights, but even if he didn't start out very strong he threw himself at everything from deers to crocodiles if he saw a need to. Maybe he was a little obsessed with the thought of dragging home a trophy to show his growing strenght. (well strenght was still always a low stat of his). The only thing that absolutely filled him with caution and fear were grizzly bears, Hondurr fled in fear everytime he would come across them, and that wasn't that uncommon ever since he choose to move the pack to the coniferous forest, which he loved in spite of the bears.

In his old age, he outlived all of his earliest clanmates, struck by grief when Quea passed. Ever since he turned 5 years he had thought of who could be his successor. Finally his choice fell on Kiebitz, a runt from another pack,  who almost did't take the offer because he didn't feel qualified. Why would the lead pick him, when Hondurrs children and grandchildren were of similar strenght and born into the pack. In the end he trusted the choice if the experienced lead that Hondurr now seemed to be.

Content with his planning for the future of the pack, Hondurr kept on exploring the world in his last year. From taking in the freezing air of the glacier, to sinking his paws into the mud of the rainforest. Experiencing the magical dreaming world of the lunar festival with pup-like curiosity, huddling for wamth in the deepest of winters knowing that the pack would survive, even if the fresh food was sparse, he found ways, even when the whole pack ate rats for dinner. He could trust in them, that they would live him still, even if he never was the most qualified for his job, warmth in hies heart.
