Emberwood Battle lines, her army gathers to her side

Clock had remained with the pack through the journey, sometimes lagging far behind them, and other times keeping close by. Before joining up with these others, he'd been on his own and was therefore comfortable with keeping to himself... For now at least.

Chusi let loose her howl, and there was nothing for Clock to do but to wait and see what would happen. Soon, the female wolf appeared and demanded to know who they were. Clock also glanced briefly to Chusi to see how she would react; it certainly didn't look like they were welcome.
