He didn’t know why he decided to even venture into the desert lands. It wasn’t his ideal place to be, but Snow Rabbit mentioned something about him going there to check on things. He knew the two packs were allied and that was okay with him, but he honestly didn’t know why he couldn’t send a bird or something. He didn’t complain though she went on his way to do what he was told. He would never tell his pack leader that the idea was pointless because he understood why it was given to him. He needed to make sure everything was in order and that things were going well.
As he walked through the sand, he could already feel it irritating his paws and he just wanted to turn right back around. It was going to take days to end get rid of it all and on top of that it was so damn hot. He could feel the sun just barreling down on him and he could feel how himself already getting exhausted. He had traveled far to get here and he wasn’t going to give up yet. It just showed that he wasn’t the young wolf he use to be. Being the oldest sibling wasn’t exactly the best all the time.
He narrowed his eyes when he noticed something in the distance. Maybe it was a wolf. Maybe it was a figment of his imagination. He knew that in extreme heat you could suffer more then just dehydration. It was something he had heard and never really experienced himself. But that didn’t stop him. He kept going hoping he could find someone from the pack soon before he ended up passing out from heat stroke.
