The Sunspire knocking on devil's door

Leaf did not know where they were going, or why they were going, but going they were. She could only speculate that it had to be some kind of training opportunity, considering Magpie was with them. Never mind the fact that this meant the leader had grouped her with a pup. The little red wolf could concede that her skills were--well, in need of development. She readily admitted this to herself as frequently as she could. Her pride needed as much help in being small and unobtrusive. It was only until the Sunspire Mountains began to loom above them that Leaf began to resist. No, anywhere but there! Had it been a mere week since she had encountered Jace? Maybe more time had passed, but it had been difficult to differentiate the days when each one was filled with anguish. Feeling turmoil once more bubble in her chest, she was positively stunned by what the leader then commanded. She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. She settled for a wry grin. Looking at Magpie and then to Fox, Leaf opened her mouth to speak but decided against it. There should have been no reason as why this command would be difficult for her. Marking territories and borders was quite natural for a wolf. But maybe she was not a wolf, or maybe she just happened to fancy a particular wolf who would not appreciate her wolf-liness. It would be like urinating on his face! Breaking out into a nervous laugh, she positioned herself over one part of the borders, and looking to Fox for any last minute words, began to demonstrate her loyalty to the pack in fits of squirts and streams.
