Firefly Glen shadows will scream that i'm alone

The pups were growing less vulnerable and stronger, which was good; however, it also opened up new dangers, such as overlooking apparent danger and making it easier for them to run off alone. The pack took care of the pups, but that also meant it depended on communication and that they were expected to always have someone on the lookout, somewhere. And sometimes there were just emergencies or otherwisely someone didn't pay attention or had other places to be. The pups were not so strictly watched anymore now (though moreso than previous years after the things that'd happened to Galaxy the year prior; he was not the laconic parent who'd just let his kids do whatever anymore that he was in that first year).

Charon made his way back from his encounter at bramblepoint with the chatty wolf. He looked up at the mountain and smiled as he crossed Firefly Glen; it felt much like coming home. Charon let out a content sigh as he watched the scenery. Somewhere in the distance he saw a beast he hadn't seen many times before -- a horse, he vaguely remembered -- though he paid it little mind as he was alone anyway and therefore not in any capacity to hunt it.
