Now that their previously sorrowful mood had abated, it was time to play again. Kiara knew that they couldn't go far with Lucia still sleeping inside the den. The tiny puppy would surely miss her mother and would probably be upset if she woke up to find that Kiara and Tharin were nowhere in sight. Even if mother and daughter had become somewhat used to the pack, Lucia was still surrounded by strangers.
Kiara, although tiny, was fast. Her body was built for speed and her quick gate was able to keep up with Tharin's long, loping strides. As she dashed through the forest her muscles moved visibly under her short summer coat, the scars stretching and contorting with her movements. She was fully healed and they didn't bother her physically, although they marred the arctic female's once perfect coat. A smile stretched across Kiara's face as she ran and she let her tongue hang out to flap in the wind. The soft grass soon turned into a broken stretch of old road and the wolf's claws scraped gently agains the hard surface. Kiara flew across the road, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the forest.
The sites and smells of New Dawn were still unfamiliar to the young mother, so their run proved to be an excellent tour of the area. Already she was learning where things were and memorized the location where the scent of prey was heavy. Tharin slowed down in the young forest, pausing long enough to mark the area. Amber eyes turned towards Kiara as she too slowed to a trot and moved beside him. The silver giant's tail curled upwards while Kiara kept her low and swinging. Her breath came as happy pants as her brilliant blue eyes soaked up their surroundings. New Dawn was beautiful, although in a different way than Ichika had been.
Without warning, the she-wolf coiled her muscle and took off towards the den. She didn't angle directly towards the den, choosing rather an angle that would take them slightly past the den and into the mountains. Kiara dipped and weaved through the young trees, her snowy coat a bright spot in the forest. As the terrain turned treacherous she slowed and began to playfully hop between the boulders that littered the forest floor.

Just out of reach
