Indigo didn’t like to leave the Hallows now and more specifically he didn’t like leaving the wolves he gathered there alone. After Duch insisted on him teaching her how to fight… he knew that he needed his band sooner rather than later. To have his own group wherever they wanted to be. If it just so happened they were very near the Armada… Indigo was alone and he shook himself heavily of the thoughts of his sister. He had to keep to the task at hand. He was out looking for herbs to bolster his stores and more specifically the packs. He knew he wanted to leave soon and he wasn’t about to make his way without leaving them prepared. Indigo cared deeply for the pack’s inhabitants. He had lived with them for more than a year now but his time in the Hallows was always supposed to be temporary.
Maybe when he was younger he imagined making a grand return to the Armada, but now that he was less naive he realized that would never be the case. They couldn’t allow their affection to become public knowledge. He didn’t want to see what his father would do should he find out about his secret. Again even when he wished her away Aslatiel was on his thoughts and he could feel the distance between them like a level of pain. He groaned darkly and grit his teeth as he shook himself yet again. Massive paws carried him to the far edge of Fossil Ridge and the river there.
He blinked back heavy emotions as brilliant blue eyes turned to the banks, hopeful to find some more rare species of plants. He managed to keep his mind on his paws and his surroundings instead of what ifs and lonely fairy tales. His massive frame waded through the tall grasses along the bank, he filled his senses with the smell of life. A welcome relief after the length of the winter. His gaze scanned the horizon in between a sweep around his feet. Indigo’s attention was caught by deep green leaves and he moved carefully towards the beautiful plant.
Today was perfect for being out and gathering, the sun was shining with only a few clouds in the sky and a gentle breeze in the air. It was afternoon by now but the heat of the day was already tapering off and the river was perfect. A gentle sound of running water, singing birds, and peace. There was no better place for Indigo to clear his mind.
