Mogli roamed the trails with his head pointed high to the sky, he could smell it. There was something good up ahead. He wasn't sure what it was, it could have been trash from a human or just nature's natural food selections. Regardless the large grizzly bear stumbled his way out of his den and into the trails that were so well-traveled by humans and their companions. But today he didn't care, he wanted to eat. Thus here he was searching for that delicious air that was making his belly churn but churns in a good way. The bubble in his gut was getting deeper the more that the smell was becoming more potent. When he arrived at the top of the rocky stairs he found himself in awe. Three large bushes full of wild berries and hung not far away into the air connected to a tree was a Honey hive. Oh heck yes! He was so down to climb for that bad boy. Grunting sounds escaped his lips as he bounces to the berries giving them a loud smack of his gums and lips as he ate.

Well, this was different that much was for sure. After the long trek into town, he had no desire to follow his mistress at the moment. So used to being independent, yet still protective he moved just outside the stables, in the shade of the building. It was one of the things he enjoyed about the shadows, the fact he tended to blend into them. Often frightening his mistress in the night, emerging from them as a silent beast. Here in the shadows though, he watched as she moved down the road to another building, a low huff escaped his vocals. At least he knew where she was, and it was not too far.


Instead, he turned his attention to those passing by in their haste. Dogs and humans alike, as well as humans on horseback. Blue was safely put away in the stables, also exhausted from their long trek. He would stay here, for now, stay here and try to figure out the lay of the land … figure out these strange humans. Oh, how he longed to be back home, but no.... this was to be their home now. Least that was what his mistress had said. Vaguely he wonders if they would like it here if they would fit in. Releasing another huff, he finally allowed his head to drop to his paws where he lay, though those dark brown eyes of his tracked each human that went by.

Things were going to change now, that much she knew. No longer did she fall under her fathers protection, having decided to leave him back in Nome. No, now it was simply her, Shadow her beloved chow, and Blue, her horse. Three of them against the world, and it was a big world... a wild world. Dangerous some may even say, and yet there she stood just outside the stables after leaving Blue in their care. Her own eyes scanned the main road through town, looking for somewhere for them to stay while they got settled. She was not worried about them accepting Shadow, for as she stood there she witnessed several citizens walking in and out of buildings, trailed by dogs. Sighing to herself she adjusted the large bag that was strewn across her back – her meager belongings – and stepped forth, heading down the road towards the lodge she could see.


Pushing through the door – lingering long enough for Shadow to follow if he wanted – she turned then, ”Hi” She greeted, moving forwards a awkward smile in place. ”I seem to be in need of a room for me and my dog.” Oh and there she was, the awkward little girl who was out in the big bad world for the first time. Her hands shifted in the pockets of her coat, before being pulled from them and hanging limply at her sides. Despite her nerves, she forced herself to stand straighter and hold her head higher... no letting them know how out of place and scared she felt.
