Blackfoot Forest the yowling won't cease

posting from my phone, so please excuse typos!

Feeling overwhelmed by her new responsibilities, Fox escaped the confines of the pack. She knew that Jinx and Njal would work hard to keep their borders secured against any threats. Fox gravitated south and east, eventually finding herself on the edge of a forest. It was not one she had been to before, and as the sun descended into the earth, Fox decided she would not go back home until the morning.

As the sky grew darker, a strange sound began to grow from within the forest. It was one that Fox knew well, for she had been named after the very creature that yowled in the night. It was comforting to her, reminding her of her origins. She wondered briefly why her parents had given her such a name and if she had made similar sounds as a child. Suddenly, a loud and booming sound caused her cousins to silence themselves. Curious to know who it was, Fox made her way toward the epicenter of the sound, her namesake creatures beginning to yowl once more.

Stepping carefully, Fox soon found out who had quieted the foxes, if only for a time. It was Haunter, her latest follower. Her posture remained relaxed, not feeling the need or want to assert her position here and now. “Fiesty little things, aren't they?” she asked rhetorically.
