Stavanger Bay you always knew you'd be the one to work while they all play

private for @Thistle Cloud !

Thistle Cloud had grown bigger and bigger over the past time. Charon wondered why there were no other leaders to stand beside her, and most of all, why Ragnar had not stepped up to take his rightful place beside her. Thistle and Ragnar were like parents to Charon, so not only were they a few of the only wolves for whose well-being Charon cared, his pride also reflected in their status; and Ragnar belonged as Alpha, in his eyes. He had not mentioned this to them, however, had just watched with surprise.

Luckily the wounds in his neck had healed over well with the care of Thistle Cloud, and the remnants of the encounter with the monster in Dawnlark Plains was barely visible now. Charon, a little over six months of age, now stood at the height of the adults, even though he still lacked in strength and balance, still learning how to use his body.

Charon had spent the morning on the beach, and now he made his way back to the den, which awaited the arrival of Thistle and Ragnar's newest litter. "Thistle?" he called out into the den, wondering if she was inside, because he had something important he wanted to talk to her about.
