The male moved through the snow, large paws making the work easy. Their wide size acted as snowshoes, keeping him from falling through the drifts. He could hear the sound of the sea, and he headed towards it as Anann had instructed. The young male was good at doing as he was told, and he was searching for his brother’s house in order to fulfill the task Anu had given him.
She had told him to go and take the trip to these pack lands, to see his brother and even ask to stay with him for a few days. Alder didn’t want to intrude on the Knight, he feared that he would be imposing and he dreaded having to ask to even spend the night. Let alone more then one. Alder didn’t know why Anu wished for him to do this, he didn’t know the exact reason but he felt her disappointment. He didn’t know that it was just worry and concern and fear that he would not be able to live a life without his mother.
The salt came to his nose, and he felt the snow thin. Alder looked out onto the horizon, his eyes closing slightly against the wind that blew over the ocean’s water and waves. He had yet to see the sea in such a way. The coast was different in his packs lands and Alder had only been to the cliffs at the castle. He took in the new sight, the scent of the Cours pack that mingled with the salt of the sea. The barrel chested and tall male turned, seeking out the scent of his brother. It was easy to catch, and the house was clear to blue eyes with the tendrils of smoke that came up through the sky.
Gentle paw steps walked towards it, and he gathered his memories of his brother and gathered his courage. Alder paused before he came to close, for he knew that Haven did not live alone and he didn’t wish to scare his mate if she was here alone. Alder yipped with a voice unsure, and then gave a low howl that was not too loud as to alarm those that lived near by. Then he waited, sitting with eyes on the door.
