what used to be, what could be, and what's to come

She had spent plenty of time thinking about returning to the mainland since her talk with Corvus. Perhaps it was time to bring Abaven back home. The land had settled, the thicket had reseeded, and the rapids were running clear again. This place called to her, just like it did the other wolves who had known this place as "Abaven" since time in memoriam. They had relocated out of necessity, but she couldn't deny that part of her had also chosen to leave because she was angry. She was mad at what the land had taken from them, but that feeling was misplaced. Nature wasn't malevolent. It was pure chance that their territory had been so ravaged. Just as easily a tsunami could have hit the south, or - or, an earthquake the north! At least that's what she told herself. Eventually she had to forgive this place and think of what it could be, not what it had been. Time to think about the future.

Theo padded along the edge of the thicket. The sun had begun to go down, but it was that pleasant golden hour that came with the end of summer. Shadows stretched far across the clearing and lent a sense of mysterious to the depths of the thicket. A cursory scout would allow her to take stock of the area and then she would report back to Rhyme and Corvus with her findings. They should move before winter, that was for sure. Putting her nose to the ground, Theory studied the patchwork of scents in the area, keeping herself poised for anything unusual - who knows what could have taken root in this area since they'd last occupied it.
