Earlier in the day it had been clear that a storm was moving in, the sky a dark gray even when the sun was at its highest. Yet Sven had not expected the suddenness and ferocity with which the blizzard would hit. In mere moments the day had gone from relative calm to lethal as the wind picked up and blasted snow against everything standing in its way. The willows creaked and groaned against the tired, the frozen tendrils sheered of their snowy encasements as the gale whipped them about. Great amounts of snow dumped from the sky, and soon it was piling up against the entrance of the den.
Sven howled, as loudly and as strongly as he could. It would be a battle to be heard over the wind, but hopefully the pack would receive his message. No matter their current business, it could wait for the storm to recede. He did not want to lose any of them to the blizzard, and they would all need to keep each other warm through the night.
As he waited for the pack to gather, he continuously stepped outside, using his pale paws to clear the snow and sending up another howl each time.
