A slender, agile red fae was perched on a tall rock in her pack's cave. This was the Alpha rock, the special place for the Alpha wolf to lounge around or call meetings. Today she was just there to observe her camp. Having arrived in the mountains less than a week ago, the cave was still fairly new. It was about halfway up the mountain, and it was big enough to shelter the entire pack. Well, when it became a proper pack that is. Right now only a handful of wolves occupied the space. Mirri stepped outside the cave into the sunlight. The territory was mainly made up or ledges and rock tumbles. The little grass that sprung up around the cave was tough and springy. A spring gurgled near the entrance of the cave, bubbling up into a clear pool. Thorny bushes sprung up from crevices here and there, offering shade to hares and if your unfortunate, snakes. They tasted bad, and if you were bit by one, it could be lethal. Stretches of grass dotted the mountain, offering places to run and stretch without stumbling on steep ledges. Mirri closed her eyes in relaxation as a fresh mountain breeze blew around her red fur, tugging it gently. She turned back to the cave and picked up a hare, the rabbit species that lived in the mountains, and ate it.
