Blacktail Deer Plateau Chicken Dinner

Sorrel was just about to accept the end of her short life when, as if he had been sent by the gods themselves, Grayday burst into the scene with a sort of stance that she'd only seen maybe once before. It was when she was little, maybe younger than the youngest of the pack when she'd first met Maman.
