He heard a slight movement near him while he meditated as he opened his eyes he could see the wolf had moved closer to the fire. He placed the rest of the twigs and branches onto the fire so it would burn for awhile longer. He wanted to reach out and run his hand through the fur of the wolf but stopped himself as he wasn't sure how she would react to the touch. The sun was slowly fading turning the sky orange as the darkness of night took over. He knew he may not sleep for the next couple of days while he headed back to the encampment.<br/><br/>Shifting closer to a tree he leaned back against it letting himself drift to sleep. His sleep was marred with dreams jumping from images of fighting orcs, goblins, and the dragon. As he woke most of the images from his dreams faded except one which made him curious it was the vision of an elf woman he had seen them before as traders come quite often. The image of this elf stood out only because her eyes matched those of the wolf he shook his head it was just a dream and his mind was playing tricks on him.<br/><br/>The sun was not up yet but it was getting close he decided it was time to clear out the small traces of his being there. He didn't want any extra company if someone was to find the burned sticks and decide to follow him. Digging a hole in the snow he dropped the charred remains of the fire down into it and covered it back up. Standing up fully stretching out his arms he knew it was time to go. He knelt down in front of the wolf his eyes looking into hers as he knelt there. He was unsure if the wolf would understand him he knew she was intelligent but speech could be something she didn't understand.<br/><br/>“I am leaving and going back to my home, I would like for you to accompany me and be by my side.”<br/><br/>Without thinking about it his hand touched the wolfs head sliding down over her back.<br/><br/>“I do not know if you will follow or if we will ever see each other again but I will call you by Snow and tell my people to never harm you.”<br/><br/>He sighed and then chuckled thinking to himself I'm talking to a wolf I must be going crazy. He stood up grabbing his spear he walked to the edge of the clearing looking out into the valley. He was only waiting for the sun to crest now before he would head back home.
