Blackfeather Woods Beneath the red scarf and a chapeaux

The three littermates had not spent much time around each other as of late. Euron and Ramsay seemed to venture further and further outside the woods with each passing day, while Maegi, drawn to the whispers in the trees and the darkness of the shadows, stayed put, spending much of her time at Nightcaller Temple or exploring the tunnels below.

The sleek white-furred girl, nearly three moons old now, was slipping silently through the trees, looking for things--or other wolves--to occupy herself with, when she caught sight of the dark female.
