Gray Stag

Stag was found living in an abandoned mine near the edge of the Mossy Hollow pack's territory. He was young to have already dispersed and was trying to make do on his own, mostly hunting small prey.

One early morning a young female wolf stumbled into his den, her eyes glowed with yellow and green and she had patches of mossy fur speckled throughout her gray coat. He was immediately entranced by her, snapped out of any hostile reaction he could give he just greeted her. She seemed shy and uncertain but she was friendly, she said her name was Sharp Flint and that she lived with a pack nearby. They talked for a little while, until Flint said she had to go before her pack started worrying, he told her she was welcome to come back any time. He couldn't stop staring at her eyes.
She did come back, a few days later he found her waiting at the entrance to the mine, he showed her around this time, what sections of the mine he had explored and what he hadn't. She kept coming by to visit for a few weeks.
Eventually she asked if he would want to meet her pack, and he was hesitant but he agreed. She took him to meet Marsh Reed and Lost Owl a little ways away from their denning site, they were kind to him and he told to them about himself and where he had been living, although not telling them exactly where. They invited him to join them on a hunt, and he took them up on their offer. He hadn't been with a pack of wolves for a while, it was nice to be around others again.

Eventually they invited him to be a part of the pack, which Flint was thrilled about. He asked for some time to think on it, but ultimately accepted after much thought and discussion with Flint. He still often returned to the mine with Flint, they further explored it together and sometimes spent the night in his old den. She told him about how she had always been treated like she was strange, her mother almost rejected her once she saw her eyes, but that she had been welcomed into the Mossy Hollow Pack. There were wolves like her there, Chalcedony, one of their herbalists, had eyes similar to her, and there were others with the mossy fur too.
While she was no longer mysterious like she had been when he first met her, Stag was still enamored with Flint, she was a small gentle wolf, she was shy but always happy to lend a hand.
