Silvertip Mountain Waiting For Spring

Chaska was hesitant to answer at first, taking her sympathies to heart. Memories fresh in his mind, he personally did not want to share. With others, he was fine with sharing his past story. But with the day of it happening having passed recently, it hurt him to speak of it.

He soon reached a decision. "I almost went through a whole winter with my birth pack. The summer after, I planned to leave, as many do when coming of age...I ended up leaving after...after a rival pack came." He stopped there, leaving out any other details. As the rest must have been self-explanatory. A small whine escaped his muzzle just thinking about that day. Chaska felt his legs wobble a little at the memory, but he soon regained composure.
