Boop I forgot how much I fail at starting threads.

The boy had awoken early that morning, like the day before. Even though the pack’s first gathering had already passed, Mordecai still felt energized and just plain happy. The fact that he found his new home (even helped to make it come to life), made him restless. The feeling may wear off soon, but for now, it consumed his mind, making whatever he thought about was accompanied by thoughts of the pack. The wolf had acted like this, back with his blood family; now, it was the same case with his new brothers and sisters.

When he made himself get on his paws, he noticed that a few others were still asleep, so he tip-toed to the entrance of the Den. The outside world was too cold for his preference at that moment, the sun not quite enough high to warm his dark fur. Instead, it was lazy to rise, slow to climb into the sky, but it was high enough to cause a slight glitter over the snow. There was a thin layer where he sat, and he glanced down in thought at the ground. After a moment of stillness, he began to paw at the ground, his eyes focused in concentration.

With a claw, he traced shapes in the snow. They were primarily of horribly drawn flowers, and humanoid creatures—elves, he would say if one may have asked. Mordecai could not help but think of Sophie now, the pup he befriended, who went on a search with him for the mystical creatures. He had promised her to meet her “lots more times” after that failed venture, but he had yet to return to his young friend. There were also a few more friends he made back in the south territories, friends he may not see often now. The boy could not but feel a little saddened by this once he realized that. But, he automatically pushed the thoughts aside, not wanting to worry about such things at the moment, when he was glad and cherry.
