In Your Honor

New adventures for a new day. Alder looked through the tinted forest, its color dulled and the sun shown through the empty spaces that the bare branches left. He wondered what made them fall off, all those leaves. They crunched under his large paws, speaking to him in a language that might have been the tweeting of the migrating flocks of song birds. But those whistles were become more clear to his young ears, and he looked to them with a small understanding. It was not like he could tell what they were saying, but it did not feel like a foreign language spoke by aliens any longer.

The masked boy moved along north of the lake he had ventured to that morning. He was comfortable there, having spent many days along the shore. He had played there with others and alone, and he felt it like an extension of the Manor’s front lawn. But now his mind and imagination drew him through the trees, pretending that he was one of the horses he had met in his short life. The wolf was growing each day, and he was taller then most of those a few months older then he and rounder then both his brothers. His ears were still too big for his head, his paws round and his legs as thick as they would be when full grown. But he was an impressive sight for just shy of his fifth month.

Black nose shuffled in the dead leaves, pretending to look for grass among the forest ground. Despite his size his mind was still immature, his personality still small and timid. Big ears turned behind him, an imaginary noise startling the prey he was pretending to be and he ran with a small skip and a smile on his face as he knew that what might stalk him could never catch him.
