Lake Rodney But the blood in your heart never dries

Floki had visited Lake Rodney on his own and hadn't found any sign of Lazarus, but he didn't protest when Charon asked him to return. There was a lot of ground there he hadn't covered -- and, to be honest, his search had stopped when he ran into Pyx and Chase. He understood Charon's need to keep looking for the bastard; the whole situation stirred up feelings that were all too familiar, but he did his best to keep Goober and Wildfire out of his mind.

He had separated from Charon, searching through some underbrush set back from the lake's edge, but he lifted his head and pricked his ears when he heard voices. Peering over the foliage, he saw his brother speaking with an unfamiliar wolf. He moved towards them, gaze trained on the she-wolf's masked face as he came to stand next to Charon. He then looked down at the bloodied grass -- evidence that something had happened here, but what? His heart race accelerated in anticipation.
