Dragoncrest Cliffs the sirens of titan

Response to this is mandatory. Please respond by next Monday. This shouldn't be more than a round, maybe two depending on how the information is received. Those not tagged in the post: @Ajatar @Artaax* @Shalon @Dalia @Melchior @Furi @Blixen* @Sirio @Corva @Cecil (@Portia: if you decide you want her to officially go, please send me a message and I will edit it into my post!). * A follow-up thread will be made for you two.

One the wolves from the scouting mission returned, Thuringwethil began to set everything else into motion. Later that night, she spoke with @Dio and @Eske on the next course of action. Arlo’s death hadn’t been foul play and there’d been no sign of Wildfire. The location of their find seemed a little off course, based on what information she had, but she doesn’t know what to make of it. She regrets not sending anyone right away to the caldera but at the time, they had limited resources and one wolf wolves to go on. @Eljay hadn’t been able to step up in the roll to lead them there but she can only assume—hope—he would be able to recognize the area when they got closer but she is thankful for the perfect timing of @Étoille, albeit she does feel a little worried about sending him on two expeditions so soon after joining, but his agreeance already has won points in his favor.

When the next morning approaches, she decides to bring the wolves together once more before their departure. They have little time to lose. The weather has been getting colder, the ocean winds harsher. It won’t be long before winter is heavily upon them and they have no time to waste. It is no lie that the wolves had not come home with Wildfire or Arlo but the information has yet to be freely given and the tension that her howl must cut through has only grown. Her Wocha and Wanlida already stand at her side as she begins the collection of her wolves in the northern area of the redwoods that opens up to the lake. Several yards behind her rests Kendra and the growing garden @Hux has been tending the last few days. They do not have a body to bury in light of their fallen brother but a tribute nonetheless will be rooted.

One by one, the wolves trickle in and she greets them with a single, sharp nod as they approach. Her children collect together on one side and @Tirgatao takes a stance nearer to her as budding advisor. Once the rest have taken to their spot, Thuringwethil clears her throat. There is no time for grand entrances.

“As you know, Eske and the others have returned from their scouting trip. We’ve learned a lot from the mission. There are three packs we hadn’t known about before within a few days travel each. There isn’t much we know about them except they exist,” she explains. One of which being new and she hadn’t forgotten the information they hadn’t been well received when they go. “They also found Arlo’s body in the mountain range though it appears to be an accident and there was no sign of Wildfire. Our next step is to go to the Caldera, where they were going, in hopes to get some answers. The trip will be long but there are enough of us to leave here and still have the safety in numbers as we travel. Eske will be in command in our absence with Tirgatao to give her aid, should she need it.

“Étoille will be our guide to the Caldera as the only one that knows the way and @Eljay will come along with us. @Hux and Portia will also join us,” she finally finishes, letting loose a heavy breath. The rest of the information will be shared by those that are going on the expedition. “We will leave in the morning and move down the coast, then head east toward the Redhawks,” she tacks on should they be gone longer than a few weeks. The travel is expected to take several days to get there, if they are quick on their feet, but she must account for taking care of those on the expedition as well.
