Getting Close

Frost Wolf pup was like any other dirty stray dog after being tainted in the mud. It scuttled around, searching through the streets and alleys for leftover food like a real stray dog.

However, stray dogs would eventually return to their own territory and guard their own turfs.

Lack of food for several days would wear them down, exhausting their animal spirit, but it wouldn't stop their natural duty: guarding homes, despite the homes being empty.

The sudden war that befell Riverdale made its people run in a hurry.

The people, panicked beyond logic, brought away most of the valuables and food they thought they might need throughout their journey, but some "family members" were instinctively forgotten.

Fortunately, this was only the minority.

When Frost Wolf returned to the area, it looked exhausted and leaned against the corner of the wall, sticking its tongue out and looking around in alarm with its odd-colored eyes.
