The bg kinda sucks... again. But I wanted to actually finish the October drawing stuff on time at least once
The wolves (and dogs) in my story have names that are a combination of their parent's. They also live in a world of their own

A drab she-wolf lay on a rock, her only surviving pup whining every so often. She had hoped for energy enough to move to the shade, and perhaps regain some strength, but found herself unable to even twitch her tail. So she wait in the burning sun for night to arrive, praying her pup could live long enough. That she could live long enough. But as the sun drifted slowly across the sky, she knew. What remained of her energy and life began was fading quickly, and she felt regret hit her like a wave. If she hadn't come here with the others, she'd be safe with all her pups, in the cool forest far from this wretched land.
Discourse arose among the pack, splitting it many ways. Standing alongside her brother, Tali decided to head west with a smaller section of the broken pack. Her pups questioned what was going on, all three of them yipping at once. "We're leaving the Pine-Woods, with Tarow and Daita."
"But why?"
"Really? But-"
"I don't wanna leave!"
A chorus of whines from the pups erupted, and Tali silenced them before approaching her mate. "When do we leave?" She asked. "Now," Daita replied.
"Now? But we barely just decided-"
"Ferrite's getting mad, so we've decided to go before we're forced out."
With that, the new pack traveled through the pines, which soon began to wither from the landscape, replaced by shrubbery and heat. "This doesn't look too promising," Tali confided to Resber, who the small pack deemed their alpha. "No, it doesn't. But there's no turning back. We'll push foward."
The heat had brought them to the conclusion of sleeping in the day instead, and as the night began to die, the wolves searched for a shady place to sleep. A small cave-like rock seemed suitable, but as Daita entered it, he leaped out yelping, having been bitten by a snake.
Days passed, and with them came Daita's death. Tali had been devastated, and it all went downhill from their as a coyote claimed one of her pups, starvation taking the other. Her pack didn't fair well either, and not long after, she was accompanied only by Dali, her pup. The routine had been broken, and as dusk fell, Tali clambered up a rock, hoping to feel some warmth. But whatever warmth she did feel was swamped by hunger and fatigue.
