Finally, dawn. The birth of the new day. Ashes from the last fire had been stamped out. Change was inevitable, but it was a long, long night. Now was the time for something new. Something that had been simmering under the surface for eons. Like a moth from a caterpillar. New life.
The Gray Wolf. Gray wolves are social animals, living and hunting in packs of 2-12.
