Phoenix Maplewood oblivion

AW for the founding of Phoenix Maplewood.

Of all places they could've chose to settle. It had to be a forest. It just had to be a forest. Of all the various terrains in Teekon Wilds, the former Redtail Rise wolves just had to choose to settle in a deciduous forest. Wait, strike that, the former Redtail Rise leaders just had to choose to settle in this Maplewood. If Arion had known, he would have skedaddled the moment he escaped the inferno that ate up the ridge, he would never have met up with the ragged asshole and the ambitious yearling. It was all her fault, all Saena's damn fault. If she hadn't stopped him when he chose to leave Redtail Rise, this shit wouldn't have happened. Now he would have to stay here fo - wait, no, Arion could still leave now.

He could still leave right now, just before they officially claimed this land and find himself a new place to live, or maybe he would simply continue the life of a wanderer. Anything was better than living in this suffocating shit hole. Or was it? A dark scowl covered the chocolate warrior's face as he stalked through Phoenix Maplewood as silently as he could. Stupid, stupid forests. Maybe with time, Arion would be able to get used to this atmosphere, but for now, he was seething at Saena and Reek's choice and he felt the urge to rebel against them bubbling fiercely beneath his chest.

Right now. Right at this moment, nothing tied him to this soon to be pack.

Arion arrived at one of the various caves he had found when he was exploring Phoenix Maplewood and began pacing. His face betrayed none of his internal turmoil, but one could see that there was something wrong by gazing into his honey colored eyes which seemed to be burning with hellfire. Think this through before making any rash decisions, urged a voice in his head, so he tried thinking it through but everything seemed to end in anger. Stupid emotions. Damn it. What was wrong with him? Where was the rational Arion? Perhaps his lack of poppy taking had indeed triggered some kind of aggressive beast inside him, just as Reek thought, because what else would make him feel this way? Make him feel so uncharacteristically angry?

Just a bit of poppy won't hurt. Just take a bit...
