couldn't do it without you

For a long time Twig settled into a quiet existence within Abaven, the days were all the same and life was peaceful. There were bigger and smaller changes some that affected her and some not so much. In any way she looked at it all, life moved on and went on without her. Part of her heart had always been stuck lingering in the past where her loved ones still remained. The other half remained in the present to be Corvus' loyal love and companion. No matter what tragedy or obstacle faced her he was always there for her. And she would be there for him. However reclusive she was to the outside world.
Hunting became her life after her mate, she threw herself into her work and helped keep the pack fed. It was a comforting task, but even when she was not in active pursuit her mind was studying tracks, watching herd movements, keeping tabs on the other predators in the area. Her paws were never idle, neither was her mind. However quiet her life was, Twig didn’t truly feel peace unless Corvus was at her side.
Then life took another devastating twist, and Abaven was suddenly dissolved. Theory’s school fell, and the structure that built their home gone. Their home remained here, the structures and landmarks, touched by wolves for generations. Even for Twig who hadn’t been born here felt herself mourning. Her pale paws carried her on familiar trails, uncertain where life would take them now. She wandered back to the den after a long hunt, freshly bathed and her mind clear.
dTwig began to build a fire to better prepare and preserve the pheasant she returned with. They were a little thin being on the end side of winter, but there were enough to make a difference in someone’s belly. She would just keep doing what she had always been doing because old habits really died hard.
