A Somber Homecoming

Dagrún was glad he agreed to go with her, especially as an equal. While she didn't get to much pushback from her parents or the pack, she knew Sperla would have something to say about her going after a bear alone. At least with two of them the minimize injury and agitate the bear enough to drive it further away from Fireside territory. It didn't take long for them to reach the border. As she arrived, Dag noticed how quiet it was. Normally the birds would be singing away on a a quiet spring morning, mist or no mist. She felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up. Well, she certainly wasn't going to turn back now. Dag strode across the border and tested the air for the scent of bear. Soon she locked onto it and traced it farther into the wooded area near the Orchard.
