Horizon Ridge i walked a thousand sorry miles

Caiaphas was fresh off the boat, as they say. "Wow, you just got here then," Pied replied. "Welcome to Horizon Ridge. I'm actually the pack's Gamma, despite looking like its punching bag," she quipped, shifting her weight slightly to favor her bruised hipbone. "I'm also mate to Kisu and, one day, I aspire to be the pack's Caretaker—when I'm ready to switch back to taking care of folks rather than folks taking care of me."

The newcomer questioned her about the orca, which she did not know by its proper name. "To be honest, I'm not sure of the difference." She paused, in case Caiaphas wanted to fill in the blanks. "I call them blackfish. They're huge and black, like the name implies, but with white bellies and these strange eye patches on their heads. Have you ever seen one? Sometimes, they hurl themselves onto the beach to catch prey... which is what happened to me," Pied explained.
