Tredding softly, a figure slipped through the thick woods. Not a sound came from the passing creature but the whisper of paws over the cool earth and the wind rustling through its fur. Vibrant green eyes flashed in and out of existence as the female blinked.
The sun was falling faster - its last rays illuminating only pieces of the vegetation here and there. Realizing this, the she-wolf quickened her pace, her paws now beating over the soil. Time was pressing now. Darkness was gathering. It was unsafe to be caught alone after the sun fell. That was prime time for the Darkness to hunt their kind.
Finally the trees broke apart to reveal an enclosed area, full of tall grasses and wildflowers. This is where it was rumored other wolves would gather. Some loners, some from packs. All were going to meet at this location to keep among numbers where it was "safe." That and hopefully to find a way to defeat the Darkness.
That is why Aquene waited in the field, the green of her pelt - which had blended in so well before - became a softly glowing beacon. Her eyes a slightly more radiant light. Ears erect, the female gazed around and listened for others who may surely come.
