Dragoncrest Cliffs i'm not doing that, you ghoul.

Tag for reference mama :) C'mere @Tux!

Artaax didn't care much about his young siblings. He thought of them only in terms of how often they stole his parent's (Thur's really... sry Wiffle) attention from him, which was irritatingly often. When he came by the tree where the pups were kept that day, it was only with the intention of finding Thuringwethil to ask after if there were any duties she wished for him to fulfill. He wanted to make himself useful and after rounding the borders twice that morning, hunting down a fresh seagull on the coast, and double checking that every cache was still full and untouched by any but Dragedakru, he was ready for a new challenge.

It was quickly apparent to him that this was not where he was to find heda that evening. Only @Wildfire and the squeakers. He dropped the gull before his mother and gave her an affectionate nudge on the chin in greeting. He saw no immediate reason to stay once the gift had been deposited though, and so he stepped right back out of the den, fully intending to leave and continue his search.

Spoilers: he was going to get stopped.
