Pearl River

[Sadie]

The Larasopu Tribe calls the east side of the river Pearl River because of the clear, pearly waters with an abundance of fish. Ramo sat quietly near the river, with the scent of the Sopu Tribe, who shared the river. Ramo stared at the crystal waters and the quick fish that darted by him. He let out a sigh and drank from the cool, refreshing waters. Just then, Jadak and Onika bounded into the river, splasing and playing. Ramo laughed when Onika jumped out of the water, shivering and wet. "It's cold, Ramo!" She gasped. Jadak laughed and shook all over her. They ran off to camp, wet and playful. Ramo chuckled and thought to himself, "I wonder If we'll be expecting more pups...?" He cleared his thoughts and watched as the Pearl River gushed by him.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

A gray wolf flipped head over heels over the entourage, blue eyes very wide and mouth wide open in a yell. With a resounding splash he collided with the river, throwing water everywhere in a stupendous cascade of unpleasantly cold wet; and shattering the dreamy stillness of the shining river. Popping up momentarily, the young wolf gasped for breath and paddled to keep himself afloat as another wolf -much smaller and with a more blue-tinted pelt - came tearing through the trees. He tried to brake but the blue paws slid in the dark brown mud and he too went skidding into the river.

"Aaaah!! BIG BROTHER!!"

The wolf who had hit the water first was laughing by then, as he paddled into the shore. Then he saw the other wolves and froze for a second before running forward and putting himself next to the smaller, younger wolf. The honest blue eyes analyzed the others, he was stiff with a tense nervousness. His brother turned, and also saw the wolves. His eyes widened, their pretty purple color similar to that of the flowers growing along the bank. Said flowers were savaged where the puppy had skidded through them, and he looked a bit guilty at that realization.

"Uuuh, yeah . . . hi?"
