The Heartwood Completely free of spooks

So basically, they'd rather slowly overpopulate the mountain and die of starvation rather than do what instincts ask them to.  She was doing her best to pare down the fluff and get to the point.  There was loyalty, and then there was stupidity.  Treason preferred the option that allowed her to stay alive.  She'd have to keep an eye out when wandering around in the future to be wary of that particular pack, but surmised that her being some random wolf rather than the "traitors" probably would at least act a little in her favor.  She could always feign ignorance about the histories.


I'm not sure why people being left behind being idiots would be any reason to change my mind. I'll come along.  Treason apparently had no fears of some soon-to-be-distant pack causing trouble. Or maybe she just lacked fear in general -- it was hard to tell.
