Benevolence Pond

"Yep, done a lot of running in one day." she said with a smile. Just as Mikol got within her reach and her breathing returned to normal, she nudged him. "Tag! You're it!" she laughed and barked with excitement. Her trick worked! She was pretty impressed with herself. She hadn't pulled a prank on someone since she was with her family. It felt good to do it again.

Nesoi danced around Mikol, then ran off in a different direction, and made sure she would get way ahead of him.

Mikol chuckled and watched Nesoi dance around him before she ran off. He trotted after her shouting out, "Nice trick!" and then he began to run as fast as he could to catch up with her. He was still quite tired and his legs were beginning to become saw from running on the hard ground, but he still kept at his pace trying to catch Nesoi.

Nesoi saw Mikol way behind him. She was still tired from the first run and wanted to stop and take a long and much needed rest.The female turned around and padded back to Mikol. "No more tricks, I promise. I am tired as well." she said to him, hoping he would believe her.

Nesoi headed back to the pond and wanted to rest along its shore. Right now, that seemed like the best thing in the world to do.

Mikol smiled and nodded at Nesoi when she returned to him. He slowly followed her back to the pond and lay down next to her taking long deep breaths and staring out over the pond and flicking his ears to the sounds of nearby animals.

Mikol smiled and then turned his head to Nesoi. He was happy to have a friend in the pack. "It's so wonderful here, isn't it?" he spoke to her.

Her ears twitched as he talked to her. The female was listening and was getting ready to respond. "Why yes, it is very wonderful here." she said, with a quiet voice. Nesoi didn't really want to talk, she just wanted to enjoy natures sounds. But, of course she didn't want to be rude. After all, Mikol was her friend.

I take a drink to wash down the deer I ate. then, I rest and look in the lake, I decide to take a swim, and hope a wolf will join me. *swims into the water and paddles around*

When I'm done, I stand up and shake my black coat dry. I look very tall compared to mikol and nesoi. than, I rest by the lake and think about my mate, serenity. than I walk to the den, hoping to find serenity.

Mikol's ears twitched as he heard another wolf nearby. He turned his head to look over to Howl who had just taken a swim. He watched the alpha walk off towards the den. Mikol took in a deep breath and then placed his head on his paws and smiled, watching the beauty of nature.

Nesoi saw another wolf. She watched him closely. This wolf was new to her and she didn't know how he acted and all. He seemed unaware of her and Mikol's presence, but she still kept a close eye on him. The female looked over at Mikol and smiled. "So, what do you want to do now?" she asked, curiously.

Mikol sniffed and then shrugged at Nesoi's question. "I don't mind. We could look at the rest of the territory?" he suggested to her.

Mikol's ears twitched to the howl of a coyote. He stood to his feet slowly and then stretched out. After he had stretched, he looked to Nesoi and smiled, "Which direction first? you can choose." he insisted.

I trot down to the pond and spot mikol and nesoi. I bark at them, in a source of hello, and trot to the pond, and I rest there and sigh.

Mikol flicked his ears to the Alpha's bark. He turned his head to look at Howl and then turned his head back to Nesoi to reply to her, "We can head out anywhere. Just to look at the places around." he smiled.

Nesoi nodded over to the alpha, Howl. She then turned her attention back towards Mikol. "How about Aurora Peak?" she asked. Nesoi just named the first place that came to her mind. Who knows, maybe it would be worth the adventure.

Having become bored, I do my favorite thing ever, Howl, and trot to my mate and we both start our trip to Aurora Peak.

Mikol smiled and nodded his head in agreement to Nesoi, "Sure, let's get going." He then stood up and stretched out. He let out a small yawn and then waited for Nesoi.

*howls in distance*

Nesoi smiled. She started heading towards the Peak. The female decided not to run and would walk at a decent speed to get there.

-To Aurora Peak-

I howl far louder yet more distant, for I am in aurora peak.

all the wolves in this area hear my cry in pain, and run to the woods.

I smell my dad, and know that this place is safe. "dad was here. I think to myself." I trot up to the pond, and tap my paw in the water. I like it, and decide to practice swimming, I paddle around not struggling much to swim, I am a little droopy, and begin to sink after about 30 seconds.I finish, and lay in the sun, still soaked.

Storm arrives seeing the pup baking in the sun and sits and stares. What are you doing out here yourself? she barks from behind. Your mother is scared stiff the large female says. There are bears, birds and other wolves, it's not safe to be out here without anyone. She says looking quite cross at the small pup staring at her. Come on back to the den with ya she said starting to retrace her steps back to - Then Den -
