As the sun began to lower from it's highest point in the sky, a dark male cut his path through the forest. The sun was barely breaking through a thin cloud cover and the trees overhead, giving his fur a small bit of added warmth. Khellus wandered a while longer before coming to a small, cave-like opening in the roots of a large tree, He crawled in, his large frame barely fitting in its small space. He sighed, remembering how nice it was to be able to share a den with his mother and siblings, and even with the other wolves in the zoo. It was something he was already wishing to have back, just a few short days after ending up on this strange island.
The brute lowered his head to his paws, his gray eyes staring out, looking beyond the trees and undergrowth that was before him. He was in a strange land, surrounded by strange wolves that he has scented but not yet seen, and had no way of getting off the island. He was a poor swimmer, and it had been amazing to him that he had managed to swim ashore in the storm after he escaped from his crate. Snapping his jaws and letting out a frustrated growl, Khellus pulled himself from the small cave, shaking the dirt and debris from his pelt.
There were scent markers nearby, he had been following them for a while now. There was a wolf pack here, he knew it. He broke through a few more trees, stopping just feet from the strongest part of the scent trail that was the pack's border. Shaking himself again, Khellus stood taller, raising his muzzle and howling. He knew he didn't have much to offer the pack, as he had never been a truly wild canine before this point, but he knew there was one thing he had. He had potential. He could learn, and that was, in his mind, more valuable than already being a master in hunting or fighting or anything. If he was turned down, so be it. But he would at least try.
He sat, allowing his tail to rest lazily behind him. He waited, wondering who would answer his call.
