Pain trudged through the snow, step by step in the early morning light, his foots steps making a faint crunch with every stride in the silent pack clearing. The sun had not yet even risen above the the pack's lands but still a dim light fell over everything, casting no shadows. Even the chilly night air still lingered, causing the male to ruffle his fur to keep in the heat as his misty breaths formed little clouds. As Pain looked around not a soul stirred, it seemed it was at the point during dawn when all the night hunters had turned in for the day but the wolves who were active during the day had not yet awakened. Pain on the other hand had made sure he would wake up at the correct time.
As he left the clearing he dis not have to go very far. He was going to meet the Elite Katyusha for a morning patrol together and training, today being his first day of training. The brute was somewhat eager to reach the fallen den where they were supposed to meet, a slight spring in his step.
He arrived in a few short minutes at the fallen den. It was just in the nick of time, he noted to himself as he watched the tip of the sun peek, casting long shadows across the landscape. Pain was glad he had already found someone to train him, now he would truly get stronger.
