"RAHHRHARAGRAHRAGRAHRG"

{As you push your way through the tangle of branches and tumble into into the lead of "chezcake"s den, a curious face shoves itself into yours. At first glance they seem to have opaque white markings overlaying upon their existing ones; however, as your eyes adjust, you realize its just age. You relax a bit as Penumbra's blue eyes stare into your soul with pup-like energy. They boop your nose, a wet, yet affectionate feeling.}

["Welcome!" rasps the old wolf, her tail high. Butterflies flutter around the den as a cat brushes between Penumbra's legs, and skirts off into a corner to watch you suspiciously. Penumbra looks at you with confidence.
"Its been a while since we've had a visitor!" she comments, sniffing the air around you. Her fur ripples as she moves; its clear that she used to be particularly strong. Although bodily age has affected her, her pride seems thoroughly intact and growing by the moment.]

"Its lonely, being the last one alive out of all our starting wolves." Said the once-pretty wolf, eyes clouded with what could only be regret.
"I can only hope that I left this pack better than I started it, and that Chezcake's new leader will treat all with respect and do their best, whoever they may be.")


.... "I am not ready to leave," She said, confidence suddenly flooding her voice.
"But in death I can do no harm, no choice. In death I am free. ." ...
