Radha stumbled as she walked through the thick snow. She thought of herself, a lone figure in a sea of white. She was nearly invisible except for her grey markings. It had been some time since her last meal and she was hungry. She didn't know if she would have enough energy to last her through the day. She wondered how much longer it would be until she finally found something to eat. She had lost track of how long it had been since she had come down off the mountains that had been her home. Her stomach rumbled and she silently cursed herself for not staying in the mountains. At least then she'd have something to eat... But then again, if she stayed there she would never be able to find paradise. She would keep searching until she found it. Or she would die trying. She let out a long, deep sigh and kept walking through the snow...

A motionless dark grey creatue laid in the snow. A soft white covered the uppermost part of it's body. The creature was three or four times the size ofthe average wolf, and it's smooth spotted back could only belong to one creature - a leopard seal. Luckily, the massive and dangerous creature was dead. It had large bite wounds around it's neck, and body...and finally on it's head.

Radha stopped and sniffed the air. She smelt blood. She stood and thought for a while. The blood could mean there was a dead creature that she could eat. But whatever killed it might still be there. Radha went over this in her head. On one hand she was hungry. On the other she was to weak to defend herself and she might not be quick enough to get away. Finally she made up her mind and ran in the direction of the scent of blood.

The dead leopard seal's carcass was obviously a few hours old. All the blood had already frozen in the creature's veins, and warmth had long ago left it's body....but food was food. The creature that killed it was indeed nearby....but his own scent was mixed in with the seal's and impossible to smell.

Radha stopped a good bit away from the dead seal. She looked around, but couldn't see anything except for the seal. She sniffed the air but could only smell the seal. Once she was sure that there was nothing else there, she ran toward the seal. When she got to it she stood and looked at it for a while. The bite marks on it's body were huge. Radha knew that, if the creature that had killed the seal was still here, she wouldn't stand a chance. She dismissed this thought, telling herself that she would have smelt if anything was nearby. Her stomach growled telling her to hurry up and eat. Hungrily she started to eat the seal, unaware that something was watching her...

Under a fine layer of snow, something groaned. The large mass moved ever so slightly revealing his black fur under the white blanket. His fur was wet with blood, wounds from the fight with the seal, and his body was near frozen. Still, the dire wolf forced himself to stay alive. He moved his head gently, and moved his oversized wolf paws beneath him. It took to much strength to lift his body up...he needed more time to rest.

Radha looked up abruptly. She thought she had seen something move out of the corner of her eye. She looked around but could see nothing except for something black in the snow. She stared at it for a while and, just as she was about to return to her meal, it moved again. "It's probably just a rock," she said to herself. "It didn't move. I'm probably seeing things because I'm tired." Still, it couldn't hurt to check. Cautiously, she walked over to the patch of black. She sniffed the air, but couldn't smell anything but the blood staining her muzzle. Even so, whatever it was was upwind of her. She stopped. What if it wasn't a rock? It would be wiser just to finish eating and leave quickly, she thought. But, curiosity got the better of her and she continued to walk towards the black object.

Kosei smelt the other wolf, causing his muslces to lurch. He raised himself up, teeth bared and a growl ripping through his throat. He was twice the size of your average wolf, and the sheer mass of muscle on his beaten body was enough to scare most away.....but he was at his limit. He fell back over into the snow, strained from his life or death battle with the carnivorous seal.

As Radha got closer, she could see that the black thing was another wolf. Cautiously, she moved forward. The other wolf got up and growled, causing Radha to jump back. This wolf was huge and unlike any other wolf she had seen before. She was about to back off when the other wolf fell. Radha looked at him for a moment and she realised that he was hurt. Tucking her tail in between her legs, she moved closer. "Are you okay?" she asked the other wolf.

Kosei's eyes flickered up at the new wolf. He breathed heavily, but remained on the ground. "What is a wolf like you traveling alone out here for?" He grumbled softly as he rested. He just needed to rest a bit longer....

"I'm looking for paradise." Radha replied as she studied the bigger wolf. He looked exhausted as he lay on the ground. "What are you doing here and what happened to you?" she asked.

Kosei finally had the strength to stand. He shakily stretched his worn muscles until his body was upright. He towered over the other wolf. "It's a long story" he said in a ruff tone. As he limped past her to the caracss, the gash on his hind leg dripped some fresh blood from a reopened wound. It was the bite mark of the leopard seal.

Radha cowered as the wolf stood up. He was so much bigger than her. She looked at his leg and saw the blood dripping out of a wound that looked like a bite mark. "Were you the one who killed the leopard seal?" she asked in amazement. 'He must be strong' she thought as she followed him over to the carcass. She hoped he would let her eat some of it as she hadn't got to eat that much before and she was still hungry.

"yeah" Kosei said as he tore a frozen chunk of meat from the cold carcass. He swallowed it quickly. He was not one to be protective over a kill this size. "come. eat. You look hungry" he said to her, before he dipped his head into the kill again.

"Thanks." Radha said as she started to eat the carcass. After she had finished, she sat back and watched the other wolf for a while. "So how come you're out here anyway?" she asked. "There has to be a reason for you to come here of all places."
