King Elk Forest Meeting the king

Burke was pleased that he helped Delight enough that he was satisfied with the outline. Burke realized that he had a lot of experience with all these packs he had been to. He quirked up his lips and then listened to the further questions the other might have. "Arthendal, but it doesn't exist anymore," he explained to the other. Burke lifted his head a bit when the male was shocked that they didn't allow him to eat back at the Caldera.

Burke shook his head. "No, normally I would protest and stand up for myself but naturally I was weakened and couldn't fight against their predicament." Burke sounded mournful. This was actually not 100% true but who cares. He came out in a better daylight with the story being told this way. "I also couldn't leave the pack because if I would be a lone wolf I would also starve. So, Mato's visit was a blessing." There, that was a good story to tell new wolves. How their new leader was a hero and a savior.
