The Bracken Woods What is this strange land?

"Well let's find out, shall we?" the stranger inquired as she nodded in the opposite direction. "Lead the way, then," she urged. Kaya couldn't help but realize how impatient this female was. Not wishing to stick around in the rain she replied "This way." as she turned to the general direction of the hollow and started to venture deeper into the forest.

Looking back to check the female was following her, for the first time she finally felt important. She stopped to process the events that were unfolding in front of her. Would she befriend this strange wolf? This very moment could change her future. Kaya found herself dwelling on this topic as they walked together.
