The scarlet fox spent most of her spare time exploring the mountain, patrolling the borders (and beyond them) and ensuring that strangers did not stray too close to her parents’ land. She was fiercely protective over the heights, and while she was always on the hunt to sway loners into joining the pack, she was also wary of those looking for a few warm nights of sleep and available food. Winter was a blemish on the mountain, making it difficult for the small pack to find food and flourish as they had before the temperatures grew colder.

An unfamiliar scent caught her attention, causing the girl to stray from her initial path. She left the borders of Aurora behind her, her nimble legs moving quickly over the snow-dusted snow. Spotting the stranger in the distance the girl’s brows furrowed, her posture immediately becoming defensive as she slowed her movements. She gave a loud bark! to make her presence known but did not take any steps closer toward the pale female.
