Larksong Grotto the girl who loved tom gordon

@Terich-mir @Jhala

hiram had been gone for much too long, and while jhala was capable, vuk's heart had turned to stone in the man's absence. the beta was no follower of raas, she did not think, only willfully thrown into it by reek's insistence. it was either that or lose her rank and also her place at the grotto. vuk herself spat on the very tenets of kesheph's teaching -- they had won her nothing.

it was with anger that she patrolled the borders, a vengeful little angel burning with ire as her pelt glowed in the shadows. what could be done? and in vuk's heart there grew an idea, one darker than any other she had hatched before.

but it was seff who occupied her thoughts. the boy had gone missing and she was sick with worry; she had looked everywhere for him but seff was nowhere to be found, and dread settled into her gut.
