Stavanger Bay Wash away us all

@Olly

Floki visited the beach on a daily basis, although he knew full well that Jorunn wasn't coming back. It wasn't his twin that was on his mind during this particular trip, however; it was Atreyu. The older wolf had been incredibly brave when facing the bear, and though Floki hadn't seen what had happened to Atreyu, Charon had told him. Atreyu had been gravely injured, and to make matters worse, he had disappeared just like Jorunn.

The pup trudged through the wet sand, the water lapping at his feet. Briefly, he considered plunging into the ocean as Jorunn had -- maybe, if he swam and floated far enough, he would find his brother. But then he thought of the sadness on his mother's face after Juju's disappearance, and he knew he couldn't leave her. He sighed, his gaze scouring the beach for any sign of Atreyu -- but even his blood had been washed away by now.

As a warm, salty breeze ruffled the fur at his nape, Floki leaned down to inspect a curved shell, nudging it with his nose.
