Against better judgement-his own, even-Glacier had continued south. He was quite certain that this was no land anywhere near his family. If he had to guess, this was some sort of tomfoolery thanks to the gods or a new land separated by ocean, perhaps more than one, from his homeland. Or, maybe an unholy mix of the two options. Either way, the tundra held nothing for him but nostalgia and hardship. He didn't want to be reminded of Taiga and his sisters by the click of caribou ankles or the chill cutting through his coat like razor-sharp teeth.
Black paws pranced him south, then. He didn't find anything all that piqued his attention, not for a long while, until the fog he was quite content to wander <i>completely</i> lost and aimlessly though allowed crimson to peek through, bright against the pale greys of fog kissed by the very early morning rays of the dawn.
Glacier paused, arching a brow at the odd leaves after sidestepping closer to a tree and placing his front paws on the trunk to get a bit more height with which to inspect the plants. Odd. A sniff. Inconclusive. He batted at a leaf-Perhaps this area got ridiculously little wind and the fall leaves never fell. Nothing. A wiser wolf might not have tried next to eat a strange, unknown plant, but the Ascendants didn't get the rumors of plant-induced psychosis they had swirling around the family without doing things like that, so Glacier, driven either by a genetic predisposition to mad scientist carelessness or mere childish curiosity, snapped at a leaf and dropped down from the tree, chewing as best a wolf truly can.
Tasted like a leaf, to his immense disappointment. Probably just a weird, mutated species of tree that liked to grow 'round these parts. The blue wolf huffed, spat out the leaf-mush and shuffled a bit of dirt over it tidily. He didn't much like making a mess, not without cleaning it up or at the very least, covering it up. His mother had performed an amputation in front of him when he was nearing a year, and while he certainly remembered how to perform the procedure as smoothly as possible, the <i>mess</i> had really stuck with him, especially when his sister had teased him about the blood-like splashes of red staining his coat.
