Silvertip Mountain I dream of seeing the world

It was time for Alastor to leave and he took his departure with a smile from FitzDutiful. Steady decided to return to his duties and FitzDutiful was left alone on the borders. For a time he simply watched Alastor as he left the pack lands and waited until the figure had faded into the distance. If only he had known that Alastor only a moment away from actually leaving the pack. It was almost as if this meeting was foreshadowing the eventual departure of a long-standing pack member. It was a sad thing, but none of this FitzDutiful knew about.

Satisfied that his scout was safe as far as he could protect the scout, FitzDutiful resumed a border patrol; marking out the borders and strengthening them where they were beginning to become weaker.
