Ookami was wondering around Phoenix Valley like he usually did. He explored a new path today though. It was piled with snow on both sides of it and there were big trees surrounding it. The trees didn't let in much light so it was quite dark. He looked around happily, a new place to explore. He often thought he was still a child the way he got so worked up about the smallest things, maybe becuase he wasn't quite able to express his feelings when he was a pup? He shrugged off the thought and kept trotting along the trail. He passed by a small pond and he stopped to look at it. The sun burst through the trees at this spot, shining fiercly on the water. Some snow feel off the tree above and splashed down into the pond. Some water cascaded upwards and once all big drops were gone a mist remained. The sun reflected off it, creating a rainbow in mid-air. He stared at it for as long as it remained, he wished he could steel it away and keep its happieness locked inside of him to never let anything bad happen again. He chuckled at the thought, That would be a trick.
He kept walking and reached a clearing, it was free of snow and even despite the cold there were several flowers blooming in a corner where the sun reached them. They were bright pinks and yellows. He walked over to them sniffing them gently, ahhh.. a taste of spring. He couldn't wait till it arrived. His stomach grumbled, "I should get going." He walked out of the clearing, following the path he came from. He saw a small rabbit run across the path and he darted after it. It managed to scurry under a bush before Ookami's powerful jaws could reach it. "Dang!" He kept walking, keeping an eye open for another rabbit or deer.
He smelt another wolf on the wind, it was familiar, Kami. He hadn't seen the wolf since he met him at the borders the day he joined the pack. Maybe now they would get to know eachother, another friend seemed like a good thought. He saw another rabbit, and completly forgeting about Kami darted after this one too, it led him straight to where Kami's scent was coming from. It dashed out ahead of Ookami and he lost sight of it for a moment, he kept running though in the direction he saw it go.
