Lilac

The small wolf struggles against the wind and finds a place sheltered slightly by the snow from a high mound of earth and brambles. She waited for the yearling wolves to come.


Blizzard, Autumn, & Raven

Blizzard came in, her siblings in close behind. They sat in a semi-circle around their 'mother', all attentive and waiting. They braced against the fierce winds and stinging cold snow.


Lilac

Lilac turned and watched the clouds, then turned back to the young wolves. "You've never been in a blizzard before, so I'll tell you it is terribly cold and windy. It will do you no good to wander around in it... you'll get lost, or too cold and may freeze to death. It's best to sleep through it, or at least the worst of it. When it gets time, curl up in a ball with you back to the wind. Tuck your tail in your nose. The snow will cover you and make you warmer. Try to keep with each other, and some other adult in the pack. Hunting should be good after the blizzard, so get ready for your first lesson in hunting big game... if Firewalker chooses to hunt."


Blizzard, Autumn, & Raven

The listen to her words, and Autumn nods, "Alright, we'll remember, and be back before the blizzard hits hardest." Autumn turns, flicking his ears to summon the others to follow him. The three struck out for Requim's River.
