Blacktail Deer Plateau high alert (BWP!)

Grayday was a step behind his wife, ears laid back in worry as the sound difrted further and further away. He did not want to scare anyone, but he knew of the strange bird that had passed - and they were deadly to wolves.

"We are safe enough under the trees," he said to the both of them, but by the sound of his voice, it was clear that he still worried. His mother knew of many strange things, and had said that as soon as the Great Bird saw a wolf, the sky would light up with a sound like thunder, and the wolf would be struck down where it stood. "If they come back, we will do the same thing - hide."

It was his other children he was worried about - Dauntless, Easy, Dawn, and Aditya. They were out there, perhaps without the faintest clue that death was stalking from above.

"My mother told me stories about them," he shared with the gathered women. "I thought they were made up when I was younger, but I've seen a few in my travels. She called them 'Last Shadow'."
