Unknown to Thenamir for the present, yellow eyes and fleeting feet were following the group silently, prowling, ever watching. The light landed on the large, white wolf momentarily before it moved swiftly back into the shadows. It watched as the forest burned with intelligent eyes, considering his next approach. ~Well, this is quite interesting~ he thought to himself. Then he shifted and knew it wouldn't be long before he was discovered.
~I'd better be more careful; I don't know exactly how the shrewd Man will think of me if I am discovered.~ The wolf crouched down against the grass, downind to avoid the heat of the licking flames, and watched stealthily.
