Shady's First Patrol, More curious then watchful

[Loki Abcat]

Shady had trotted around camp before she set out into the wood. She had already been to the training grounds so she decided to go deeper to the southwest (if Goldy's map is North on top). Strolling through the massive trees she kept herself light on her feet in order to make sure she wasn't disturbing the forest. She wanted to see everything, the looming trees sprouting and bustling with new blossoms, the birds coming back from migration, and all the plants jumping up out of the ground after a long hibernation. The forest was beautiful!

Swept up in the wind and scents Shady started to race about. Smelling for wolves, elk, birds and even bugs, Shady began to scour the wood in a zigzag path. The sun was beginning to dip in the sky but she couldn't help but continue onward. Eventually she came to a huge rock covered in moss. She tested it with her paw but decided not to climb it and instead circled the rock to familiarize herself. It was a good landmark and she felt that she should mark it but decided that she should remain in the forest longer before she left scent markings, she probably didn't smell like a resident of the forest yet.

(I am going to continue the rest (her way home) tomorrow night cause I've decided to actually go to bed at a decent time tonight even though I missed my 10pm marker again. This also gives any wolves *coughcough* time to intersect me, though I doubt it is going to happen anyways it is just Goldy said something about looking for new wolves so I thought I might have missed something there... I normally do )

( Just in case any new, non-existant members would just so happen to want to make a forest wolf. I actually managed to go to bed at 8!!!!!!! I was so super proud of myself, and I allowed myself to sleep in until 6:30! That's late for me. I normally wake myself up at around 5.)

(I have massive amounts of homework... so tomorrow then... or really late tonight... sorry)

[Golden Moon]

(Aww, no problem. Saberian can wait!)

[Loki Abcat]

(well I have given up on homework... it is a fail and I am exhausted but I decided to send shady back to camp before I went to bed myself)

The sun began to sink below the horizon, sending brilliant pinks and purples shooting through the tree branches. Shady decided quickly that she had stayed out much to late. Though she had smelled out her path she had taken a long, winding and convoluted one. To follow it back, even at a run, would bring her home far late into the night. Not only would she worry Saberain but spending a night alone in a still foreign land did not sound like the most pleasant of ideas.

Quickly, Shady went over the path she had taken in her head and calculated which direction would lead her strait back to camp. She howled into the chill air to tell Saberain that she was on her way back and took off through the trees. Occasionally stopping at a point in which her new path crossed her old she continued onward till the sun was but a remnant glow in the sky.

Finally she found camp, skidding to a halt just before it she stopped, caught her breath and then walked around to the entrance...

(soo... tired... soo... very... very... sleepy... zzzzzzz..... )
