Northstar Vale Echoes of ephasia have haunted you tonight

It was amazing. Dag missed those hunts more than anything except Lotte, but going on these trips with Saena helped to alleviate the ache of homesickness. It was becoming less and less of a hurt all the time, but he still hoped that his sister would consider his words and join him here in the spring.

Like him, Saena demured from the praise, and Dag just wagged his tail as he thought about how well they'd both done today. The buck was almost like a distant dream - one that couldn't hurt him now. So when Saena called out her challenge, Dag hardly even thought about what'd happened the last time they'd raced.

"Ha!" he chuffed, taking off after the shewolf. He liked the brain, but he'd like to see her eat it even more if it meant he won. Normally, he felt strange about passing by the lead bitch, but at her challenge, he felt comfortable running his hardest.
