Morningside Cuesta We said forever but forever wouldn't wait for us

The past few weeks had seen several new faces around the territory. He'd met briefly with 'Masky', the woman that Sunspot had welcomed into the family, and had accepted Katya and Gwen himself. His days had been filled with new friends and family - namely, the three tiny additions with his common blood. But although he was gladdened to see their family growing, there were a few missing faces that had begun to bother him, in recent days. He felt as though he had not seen his daughter in weeks, and Sylvas? There was no trace of him.

Grayday had done his own investigating, of course. Dawn, he knew, liked to come and go, but it was strange to pass a week without seeing the larger male around. He'd searched everywhere, keeping an eye out on his travels and around the territory alike, bu there'd been no sight nor sound nor smell on the wind that had hinted at Sylvas's whereabouts. All Grayday knew was that he was gone, and that didn't sit well with him at all.

He sought Kieran out with a heavy heart, pained to know the boy had lost so much in his young life. He didn't want to add to that burden, but what else could he do? If he hadn't noticed already, he would pretty soon.

When Grayday found him, the boy was sitting by himself, a rabbit nearby.

"You're gettin' to be a real good hunter," said Day, coming to settle beside the other male.
