~ It was snowing heavily as the black wolf slowly made her way across the frozen wasteland that was now her only refuge. Her paws and ears were beginning to feel numb, yet she did not stop or attempt to find shelter. Her paws sank deeper into the snow with each step she took, the flurries of deceivingly delicate snowflakes accumulating on her nose as she trudged on. Two months… two whole months of starvation, cold, and loneliness. Two months since Shadow had last seen the faces of her packmates as they watched her leave them forever… She paused in her tracks as memories came flooding in, like fleeting glimpses into another life lived long ago. Shadow looked back towards the distant horizon, her midnight-black fur tousled by the fierce wind. Somewhere out there, her pack was forging a new life, under the reign of her sister, Moonsilver. The setting sun reflected on Shadow’s fiery red eyes, and for just a moment, a flicker of the great Alpha she had once been became visible. After a few minutes, the black wolf sighed, then turned and kept walking, a lonely traveler continuing on her lonely way. ~
Okay, so I was originally going to do an animation of Shadow, my wolf OC pictured here, but since I was lazy and didn't want to finish the animation, I did a picture instead. The little backstory is randomly there. I realize that Shadow's eye is a little to far back on her face. This was done on GIMP. Art (c) Wolfhound Shadow (c) Wolfhound
