The coloured man admired Jackson, creeping around the bed he had laid before. Jackson's crystal blue eyes followed his movement, the old man then came face to face with him. "Why am i here", Jackson's voice shook as he looked into the mans dark eyes. The old man rubs his thumb in blue paint, spreading it across Jackson's large forehead. 

"You are one of us, Wolf".

Jackson and The Old Man left the tent. The coloured man lets out an arm and spoke softly, "This is home". As he spoke, children are playing in the dirt. Some were even playing with wolves. No parents. No adults to be seen, just children. Some coloured, some not. At least fourteen small tents and lodges stood in the distance, a large pool that laid in the middle.

Jackson whistles, scanning the area. "So, where are the parents?". The old man chuckles softly, "There are no parents, just me and the young ones"

A young boy with night black hair, ran towards them. "No hunters to the south, west or north. But hunters spotted in the east".He spoke with a quite deep voice. The old man nodded slowly, "Very good report Jamie" He looked at Jackson and then back to Jamie. "But, i have one job i want you to handle"

Jamie jumps onto a rock,looking around. He looks to jackson who was struggling to climb, he groans. "C'mon, we haven't got all day". Huffing and puffing, Jackson clawed at the rock."I'm coming, i'm coming, Jeez". He crawled, standing beside Jamie. Jamie had his young hands on his hips, looking out. The sky was mist and the mountains where sharp points of the earth, he whistles. "Wow, now that's a view worth finding" Jamie inhaled slow but softly. "This place is really something, huh?" Jamie nudged jackson softly, Jackson chuckling as he did. 

As the sky began to turn into a dark mist, Jackson looks to Jamie. "Uh, Jamie?', "Yeah?" Jamie replied, keeping his eye on the resting sun. Jackson took a deep breath, "Do you- ever feel like-...leaving and finding a new home-". With that said, Jamie looks down. "Now that you mention it, Yeah! I'll love to find new people who will look after me!" Jamie had a dreaming face on, looking to Jackson with open eyes that shined brighter than the sun. Jackson smiled brightly as he watched Jamie, "I'm glad you have a dream too!". Jamie smiled dreamingly, he snapped out of his bubble and looks to Jackson. "What's your dream!?". Jackson let out a soft giggle, watching as Jamie grabbed his arm, demanding to know."Uh, well.. Its too find someone".
