Phoenix Maplewood storm surge

I'm not really sure if I've missed anyone in the order, if so let me know! Wanna keep this moving. :)

Saena's eyes drifted to Bazi at the back of the caravan. The cloud-coated arctic wolf was once so strong of countenance that Saena could've, if she'd known her better, aspired to be like her. However, now the woman seemed forlorn somehow. She was facing the north, where the slope of Nova Peak was blackened and burned. She didn't acknowledge Saena or Reek, or anyone else.

Saena felt for her. She'd felt that sort of pain before. Losing Redtail Rise hadn't affected her as deeply, at least from outward appearances, but the loss of her father and mother had. Her sympathetic gaze lingered a moment longer before tracing across Kaskara's face and falling on the bundled pups. With the exception of the black-spine, the others were cuddling together. Probably exhausted, thought Saena.

Reek offered up their food and Saena nodded immediate consent. The forest was lush and bountiful this time of year and the wolves had had no trouble stocking up a little. They still had a lot of work to do, but with a few skilled gamekeepers, Saena was certain they could find a meal for their allies. "We can take you inward, find a place for your cubs to sleep and for you to rest," she said, glancing again at the pile of puppies before gesturing for them to follow. "You'll be safe here for however long you need to stay. We'll make sure of it." If Saena had to do double time on the borders to protect the pups of another pack—something she would do almost exclusively for Blacktail Deer Plateau or Nova Peak, as valued allies—then she would do that. If she had to spend every waking hour hunting, she would do that too. She couldn't let them go hungry, not little pups, and not Kaskara or Bazi or Scimitar or their companions either.
