A black, lanky but muscular wolf stood at the edge of the water line on the sand, staring out into the clear blue water at Seigla Shores. He loved the water. His mother use to say that he was born the wrong animal, because he much rather preferred to be swimming in water than he did walking on dry land. He missed his mother greatly, but she had been right. She had told him that he had to go and disperse, forge the path for his own life, maybe even start a family. And while he was unsure of if that 'start a family' part would ever come, he understood what she was saying and dispersed from his home. From the single mother that raised him all by herself, no thanks to his bastard father.
Mako stepped forward, and dipped a coal black paw into the water, and his tail began to wag. He just felt so light, so happy when he was around water. Continuing, Mako waded into the water until it was up to his chest, his legs completely submerged in water and he was smiling. Lifting his head up slightly, he pointed his muzzle at a slightly upward angle as he closed his eyes and gave into the peace he was feeling at that moment and began to sing.
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me"
The song swelled from Mako's throat. From the very depths of his soul, the song rose and swelled, and he revealed his sorrows and joys through the words he sang. The crescendo of tones hit him as he belted them out. He has been told by his mother that his voice was heavenly to listen to. But he didn't believe her. After all, mothers are suppose to say such things.
