Swiftcurrent Creek origin stories

It was weird to think that, at one point, a pack like theirs had lived here.  Why did they leave? Maybe that was a thing that packs did; Gannet was, by dint of pure chance, swiftly learning that nothing could last forever.  A lesson that kept on giving, but he wouldn't find that out until later.

"Okay," he said, but as they went he would be on alert, trying to taste some trace of the wolves that used to live here.  He wouldn't find any, but curiosity and the fun of the game made him try regardless.
