Fall colors painted the foreboding forest, as if drizzled by caramel. "Wait..If I'm thinking that this forest looks like caramel, then I'm going crazy...", A voice cut the misty air like a knife. The voice chuckled. "Maybe it's good that I'm crazy, because if I wasn't, then that would be plain boring.", The voice was eventually introduced to be a wolf, a black one at that. The wolf trotted quietly through the forest, reminding himself to avoid the cracked, orange-dyed leaves. He didn't want to make a ruckus and get himself into trouble before he even got to the border. He carefully stepped over a damp log that blocked the well-worn path ahead of him. Thankfully, the log wasn't that high to step over. Castii then kept on the path, watching the trees as he did, looking for signs of movement in it. "Of course, the pack members wouldn't go over the border this early in the morning except to hunt for breakfast, but even that's a little early..", Castii's voice trailed on as he leaped onto a boulder, mumbling to himself about breakfast and something about squirrels.
Then he accidently stepped on a small branch, and it made a loud snapping sound.
Castii froze where he stood, looking more frantically and horrified at what he hoped he wouldn't see. After a long minute of darting eyes, still nothing interesting had happened. Castii let out a huge sigh, followed by a look of surprise as he chanced a look at the object on his chest. It was a necklace, made out of dried rabbit skin, and woven with firm ivy. Ivy also "latched onto" a medium sized stone that was glowing a strange blackish color. Then, eventually, it changed into a bright yellow. "Oh, wow! I can't believe I almost forgot about this thing.", His paw picked it up to examine it more closely. The stone changed to a mellow green. His "Mood Stone" had warned him again about his drifting moods that changed ten times a day. He dropped the stone and it landed with a thud on his chest. "I"ve never seen it change black..must have been the fear I felt because of that twig. Glad it's green again.", He then jumped back to the ground on an open, grassy spot, avoiding leaves and twigs. He then followed the familiar path again.
Soon, he came to a tree that carried a scent that was unfamiliar to Castii. He sniffed again, then remembered with a start that it was Earth Pack's border. "Finally, no more traveling for a while. Well, the border stretches from the tree I just sniffed, to the tree over there." He pointed to a tree a few feet away from him. "So that must mean that the border line must be..", He sniffed the ground, "Oh! I'm on it!", He stepped back into the familiar forest. He sat down on his haunches and flicked his head to the rising sun. He then let loose a long howl, obviously trying to contact the Earth Pack. After the unknown tune stopped, he lied down on the soft grass, yawning and ready to take a nap. He quickly fell asleep, knowing that someone from the pack was bound to come sometime, so he wasn't going to be sleeping long. Eventually, he drifted into a dream about his new pack, and...squirrels again?
