And sorry but most of this is just about what has been up with him the past three months. Tauxic was nearly four months old already. He was still small and shook when he breathed but he was still in a better condition than he was when he was born. Back then he was so thin and his fur was so short, he was surprised that he had lasted through the winter. Though, it was late winter and January is the coldest month of the year, he had still survived much, even for being a runt. It took him a little while to learn what runt meant. Luckily, his parents were patient with him and he had learned many things from them. He starting to be able to hunt, just small things of course but still. He had many failures, but that seemed to make him even more proud of his successes. And a lot of the time, he had to hunt animals that were asleep or in a corner or in a small place that his small size allowed him to get to. In most of his failures, the animal would wake up and then run ahead before Tauxic got to pounce. And he couldn't run after them without quickly running out of breath. Taux was learning things everyday. There was always something new to explore or questions to ask. He was also becoming quite good friends with Wystar, one of the other pups in the Children. Tauxic was fascinated by the meaning of packs and what went into being in a pack. Loyalty, obedience, doing your part to keep the pack together and in good health, all of it. He knew that he would be staying in this pack for as long as he lived. It was certainly one of the better ones that he had been born into and he was glad. He was learning about all the packs around, and ones that use to exist, that including the Empire. He wish he could visit it to see what it was like, then there were the other packs like the Mafia that he wouldn't want to see. Taux was growing up to be a pretty nice looking wolf, even though he was smaller and a runt. He had slightly lengthy legs which he knew he must have gotten from his father and his chest was still narrow but at least slightly broader. His shakes were very slightly less noticeable and his singing was better. So all in all, he was growing into a handsome adult and even though he will always have his shakes and short of breathness and being a runt with a narrower chest then all the others, he was still something interesting to at least look at. His fur was still a soft pink and his tail and eyes a light lavender and his cream spots just a bit bigger as he grew more fur. Though he was only almost four months old, his maturity was already starting to appear. Though, he did still look a lot like he had when he was just a pup. Tauxic was laying down in the open, near the boarders of the pack territory. The morning sun was still cool and there was a slight cold breeze. He was stretched out and had his head resting on his paws. He hoped that the sun would warm up the area as it got closer to noon. He listened to the leaves chatter as the wind whipped around them and the wind in his ears sounding like whispers and sighs. There was still snow on the ground but there wasn't as much and luckily, his spot was nice and dry. His mind drifted off to when the snow was more plentiful on the ground and how it did glimmer and sparkle. He did really like the snow, it was so pretty and his mother had taught him about the seasons and how winter was the only time that he would get to see the snow. But he knew that there was other things to look forward in like the change of color in the leaves or the new plant life that will start growing and more flowers, which would be in the spring. Tauxic was not going to fall asleep any time soon. The cold kept him awake and enjoyed laying out here in the silence and being able to see everything around him, all the beautiful nature, even though it was cold. Taux couldn't wait for spring. It sounded so beautiful and amazing, just like any season. But this was the season of birth and renewal, for flowers to start blooming and the green grass to start to grow once more. He slightly wished that winter would hurry up a little so that he could get started in experiencing spring and seeing the beauty of things growing and animals coming out and seeing babies. Maybe he would see a runt animal like himself and be able to feel the same for it. Maybe he could even go out and explore the pack lands a little with Wystar. Tauxic so did enjoy exploring and seeing new things, especially with someone else that he knew and trusted, even though he did have to take quite a few breaks on the way. But he learned much from his little adventures and he believed that his parents approved of them. After all, it was only in his nature to be curious and to see things outside the den. Not that he would ever stray to far away, he had learned his lesson from that quite a while ago, when he was just about a month old, when he had strayed away, far away, and nearly caught his death. But he had learned and he had got on with his life, he knew it was just the way things were. T a u x i c 's . S o n g
