[/html]Howdy!
It was quite easy, you see, to have made it so far. As his father once told him, his mind was already at the destination, his feet just needed to take him there. His mother had complained that he should've waited just one more season, until the snow started to drip off the tree branches and the sun would awaken the northern world. But to Tobias, there was no better time than the present to start his journey to where his mind already was. So Tobias had left his small family in New Brunswick shortly after the celebration of his first year. It was a large party with an all-to-do air to it, as most pups in their quaint little clan infrequently made it past that age. He had gathered up his family for his last festival and gave all his heartfelt and tearful goodbyes, and headed off, bathed with the light of the setting sun.
Now he knew he couldn't sustain himself without another pack. The one thing that could be said about Tobias Castillo was he was a social wolf. He had been on the road for a few weeks now, and he wasn't sure if he quite took to all this walking. With all this traveling and such, he had spent naught but a few days in the company of other loners, and the prospect of him staying this way was bleak at best. So he skirted through the clusters of packs looking and searching for one that would best fit him. There were some that seemed gruesome - skeletons of animals stuck to long wooden rods at the edge of strong smelling stench. However, as he continued south, they became less and less barbaric, but still drenched in the same mystery.
So here he was, at the edge of some nice looking pack territory. He caught himself from walking in, standing with his long limbs solid against the morning's frostbitten grass. He took a few beats to compose himself, tail hanging limply against his hind quarters, large frame diminutive and humble, before cocking his head back and flatting his ears against the back of his rugged head. He let out a short howl, succinct and to the point, lingering just enough to let out his true intent.
