Phantom Hollow Filled Hollow

This is a bit far for Trick to travel, but imma just make up something :p

Trick was almost all day out hunting, trying to prove himself and feed the new generation of the Caldera, having not even gone out on a mission to find Lucy yet. He had promised to do so, and he was sure he'd get to it eventually, but for now they needed their stocks full. Hunting nearby the Caldera was preferable, but to kill everything there wouldn't help anyone. It was better to hunt somewhere else for a while, he knew, and that was what he was planning to do today. Waking up in his own, self-digged den near the water, was weird; the fresh smell of water new to his sensible nose. He grunted, seeing that the sun was barely awake, and any other would go back to sleep. Trick wasn't an ordinary guy though, and he drug himself from between the roots into the Caldera for a new day. 

Perhaps if he went far to hunt today, he'd run into some others. Maybe they knew where the black little Lucy and her kidnapper were. That'd be like two birds with one stone, and he couldn't wait to get started. Trotting away from the water, over the walls of the bowl-like structure that was the Caldera, he exited the packlands and into the unknown. He took a deep breath, stretching his petite frame before running off with the intention to return either by dusk or midnight. 

It was true; the scent of prey wasn't very present in the area he'd used to hunt, and so he went beyond it, following a small stream that came from a lake, it seemed. The scent of berries, some rotting due to the heat of summer, made him sick to the stomach. Yes, some could be used for patients, but he didn't really like the sweet taste they possessed. He strolled through the meadow without even trying one, but bringing with him a branch with some of the berries. Maybe critters in a forest embraced by ominous fog in the distance liked berries, and he could set up a trap of some sort. Yes, that seemed like a good idea.

His petite black frame almost seemed to be eaten by the mist present in the forest that smelled very much like fire. Little did he know that was because of a part of the forest that had burned down, the area now going under the name of The Heartwood. What he also didn't know was that once there lived a pack here, ruled by Malice Lanius who now resided in Two Rivers Isle with her family. He liked the silence here, every step he made seemed almost like a sin yet it felt so great. He sniffed around a bit, the branch with berries still in his mouth. He froze. There was someone nearby, a female if his nose wasn't betraying him. He decided to ignore it, instead settling on finding something to eat, despite the stranger might having information about Lucy.
