The daylight hours in winter were short and, when even the sun did not come through the thick cover of the grey clouds, it gave Osprey a feeling that the day never really started. As a kid her favorite story had been about "the stolen sun" and, how a brave little wolf had gone on a quest to retrieve it and end the forever winter. She did not remember the details of it very well now, but the idea that you could actually do something to fend off the darkness still had the same appeal.
As she was making her way back to the den she and Dante shared that evening, her mind was wandering the realms of imagination, building a new story. The upcoming solstice and the knowledge that from that day on the days would get longer had been her inspiration and now she was trying to come up with a tale, why was it so and how it had happened. Lost in her dreams, she did not notice that she had wandered far off the track that would lead her home. And as it got darker, further and further she went to the less inhabited areas of the Donnelaith.
