Winter * Seal * 3rd

*****
In his early days Winter was chosen to be the packs breeding male. It was a choice that was considered long and hard for the packs leader at the time, Meri.

It was pack tradition to pick a wolf who had returned from their journey to keep the gene pool of the pack fresh, but no wolves had returned in many moons and the packs current male was aging.

So Winter gladly took the role, happy to able to contribute to the future of the pack. And when the time finally came that an ideal wolf had finally returned, he was glad to pass the role on to them, even though he was young and such roles are generally for a lifetime.

He decided he would take a journey of his own, not far and not forever. But he felt compelled to see what was beyond the boundries of their lands, so he was excited when Meri offered him the position of a scout. Exploring the territories around their own.
