“Nice to meet you Malalia... of the Ashen Armada. I knew an Ashen Empire, has the pack changed its name?” she asked with some curiosity. “I don’t have a pack, so I wonder about where I’m needed, and where the herbs grow.” the older wolf explained.

“I would love for some help, if you can help me find some Boneset and Dandelions, I'm making a concoction for winter ailments. I can show you how to preserve and combine them.”
