Julooke had been wandering the territory for the past day or so, after learning about Pump's death. She had chosen not to go and see the body, fearing she would not be able to handle it. She had thought correctly that Ragnar would take over leadership, something that gave her peace. He was a good leader, and she respected him. The pack would not have to worry they would falter because of a lack of leadership.

Her nose picked up his strong scent. She couldn't be very far behind him, so she followed it out of the territory and down the coastline. For a moment, she wondered if she should turn back; if maybe it was something personal and she shouldn't be involved. But, her curiosity got the better of her and she continued to follow it. She approached what appeared to be a large wall of rock that had a hole in the middle of so creatures could pass to the other side. She could see the pawprints of a wolf, and hoped they were Ragnar's. He was going pretty far, and she was beginning to get nervous that it was too far, but she had made it, and there was no point in turning back after this much distance. She passed through the wall of rock. Turning her head left, following Ragnar's scent, she made her way up the hill that led her to a forest. From her position, she could see this forest was protected on all sides by hills. Her ears perked and she waited to see if maybe she could hear Ragnar's footsteps, but she was too far behind for that. Her nervousness getting the better of her, she decided to pick up the pace. His scent was strong enough that she could follow it easily as she ran through the forest, dodging the aging trees and brush.

Then, she heard his voice. “This is where you want us to go, Odinn?” She slowed to a walk, her sides heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Remembering the teachings he gave her, she knew Odinn was the deity he worshiped. He came into view, as did a black raven, and she gave a soft chuff. I followed you, she stated, though it was obvious. Where are we? she asked as she closed the distance between them.
