Emberwood i was born with a knife in one hand and a wound in the other

@Menta

Each time she leaves the pack territory, she knows the risk, but while she can she will get out and explore the reaches her legacy will touch. While Gyda still remains her queen, and can do the bare minimum in her absence, Thuringwethil will use it to her advantage. Gavriel has returned home, giving her a better chance at doing what needs to be done. He can guard Gyda and the children and leave the other warriors to the borders while she's gone.

It's turning into the evening when she reaches Emberwood with the large cache to her right. The farther eat she'd gone before this had been the wetlands to the southeast but the terrain had been unpleasant enough, like any brackish marsh, that leads her around to avoid it.

Thuringwethil begins her trek into the forest with no direction in particular, but the scent of a rabbit catches her attention. It sits up ahead but one careful step forward sends him on his way, dashing off into the darkness. Her lips press into a contemplative twist, moving on to further explore new grounds.
