Winter ran its course across the lands, the fox returning from the firefly lake still dumbfounded by what he had found. There was a girl. A girl fox, and a thrill of excitement coursed through him as he crossed the river back into Abaven territory. He was thrilled, and he wanted to tell Bass, but he hadn't seen nor heard from him since the meeting, and that was a while ago. What had become of his dear friend? Why had he been absent lately? His excitement turned to worry, so once he made it safely to Abaven's side of the river, he put his nose to the ground to see if he could detect Bass' scent somewhere. After a while though, he couldn't pick anything up that told him Bass whereabouts. Maybe someone else would know?
