Somewhere in the forest, there was a wolf pup strolling around by herself, scared, and a bit cold. This pup was Zariana. She quietly walked around the forest trying to find a cave or some other type of shelter to hide away in. She had recently found an injured rabbit, which had served as her meal for the next few hours, or at least until she got hungry again. [i]Please, please, just let there be some shelter somewhere,[/i] the young pup thought, as she ducked under a very low branch. [i]I don't like being cold.[/i]

Eventually, Zariana found a cave, and walked into it. She didn't go that deep in, just laid down at the entrance and stayed quiet, trying to warm up. Surprisingly, this cave seemed to have furs on the ground, and Zariana just shrugged it off, thinking that someone must have previously lived there.
