Cedar Sweep End Of The Road

For @Zaavier <3 Dated to the 24th

Grace had traveled nonstop for the next few days after crossing Silver Moraine-the only place she had her heart set on was the place behind the Barrier Mountains. It was the only place she hadn't been so far, and she had nothing going on for her in the Valley or Tiaga anymore. Even the thought of returning to the Caldera wolves daunted her-and thats exactly why she stuck to the shore her entire journey to the West. She'd cut down through the Twisted Slough and the swamp below, not stopping but going around the first borders she passed. It, too, scared her too much: it must not have been the place to stop. 

It isn't until she's come to the edge of a cedar forest that she halts-her golden eyes straining to see the valley in front of her. She crept closer, but sensed the presence of at least a few others. Was there a pack here, or maybe just a few wolves living collectively? A fledgling pack, maybe? Either way, it kept her from venturing any further-which sucked, because where she was from, she could see very little with only one eye working fully well- but this place did not make her cower and sulk away. In fact, it lured her in, and the only thing the heavily scarred girl could do was stand and gaze into the territory with wistful eyes.
