Bearclaw Valley Ghosts of our past

@Nanook

Valette needed a break from Easthollow. Everywhere she looked she was reminded of Steady. She didn't want to avoid his death, or not think of him, but it all became a bit overwhelming. She was certain that eventually, she would find comfort in the places she was reminded of him, but now it was too soon. Everyone said their goodbyes, and he was officially buried. He was gone, and she had to live without him now.

The dark colored female became a bit nostalgic. She was thinking of her own family after Steady's death and talking with a packmate about her sisters. Valette wondered if they were still alive. She hadn't seen them in so long. The female decided to slip out of the territory, only for a few hours, to visit the lands she was born. The female was lucky it was a neighboring territory.

It took her a moment to find the small path down into the valley. The boulders helped her navigating. God, the memories of this place. How she would play by the river or run through the fields. Would Arthur still live here? She also remembered the flooding of the den. How brave she was as a pup and helped her sister Sesi explore. Or would try and explore with Nanook. Their mother's death couldn't have been at a less unfortunate moment for them.

Valette moved down the path into the valley. The dark colored female moved through the high grasses. She remembered Raziel, and some other wolves that were in the pack at the time. She was closest to her mother though. She was seeing everything from a strange perspective since the last time she was here she was much smaller. However, as she went down the path she noticed a fresh scent. Another wolf had been here.

Valette was curious enough to check out the fresh marks. They were faint but there was definitely another wolf here. Maybe she expected too much of all of this. Valette decided that perhaps it couldn't do any harm to see if she might know this wolf, perhaps, it was a ghost of her past. She wanted that distraction for now. Just a brief reminder that she wasn't completely alone, again.
