Rising Sun Valley Into the Depths of Our Illusion

my last post :)

When Kove mentioned the pack he was a part of now, Cicero nodded. He knew. He remembered Scarlett had mentioned it, and Damien had been aching to go there a while now. "Bearclaw Valley." Cicero remembered Scarlett's nearly pleading invitation to go. Cicero said he might go later, and he had considered going with Kove now, but he did not want to overstep the period of time he had told his mother he would be gone. Besides, Damien would be furious if he found out that Cicero had gone there alone, and even though Damien looked cute when he was furious, Cicero would rather stay on good standing with his dark brother.

Kove did not seem as interested in the wolves of Swiftcurrent Creek as Cicero was. Since they had all left, maybe they had moved to different territory, Cicero thought. He nodded and looked at Kove. Cicero then saw something that interested him in the distance, another detail of Swiftcurrent Creek's lands he had not noticed before. "Cicero will go explore more now. Cicero will visit Kove and Scarlett soon." With those words, Cicero nodded at Kove and then took off, trotting away without another word.

Further up ahead, he found the Creek that the territory was named after, and after taking a lap from its waters, Cicero crossed it and started to discover the rest of the territory before eventually heading home.
