Blackfeather Woods Blackbird song

Ever since she returned from her little romp as a "loner", Potema felt...distant from her pack. Her brothers were still scarce, and there were way too many unfamiliar faces. The teenager was jealous when one of the new women who was sent out for a spy mission. Not that she wanted to be a spy, she wanted to be free. She loved her family, but the thrill of being alone with no one but Mongfionn at her side, and the power of her Goddess' magic. A lone witch, if you will. But she was much too young and unexperienced for such a feat. She would have to be patient and wait for the day she became an adult, a mere moon from now.

Until then, Potema bided her time gathering herbs, as an apprentice is wont to do. The task was harder now after the storm, with many of the plants in the eastern half of Blackfeather being swallowed by the swamp waters, but it allowed her more time to wander about. And meet the new wolf.

She knew about him; an old friend of Burke's, named Akela, but that was it. She really wasn't prepared for him. She thought he was just some old wolf, but looking at the guy, he was quite handsome. Especially with all of his scars. She heard that he was a loner before, which truly impressed the freedom-seeking teenager. Imagine what stories he could tell...

"You really don't look like you would do much damage anyway." She said, regaining her mind from her hormones. She walked over to the wolf, knowing that whatever cover she had before was broken. They were packmates now, anyway. She didn't need to hide. "So you're Akela?"
