Lost Creek Hollow for the line in my life

their journey had been relatively easy, save for the outburst by stigmata. she watched as wolves filed to meet them; first a man, then the woman she had met some time ago, both on sunspire and in the hollow. they were joined by the proud power of another male, but it was the wolf who greeted indra first that held mona's attention.
mona took in the sight of his intelligent green eyes, the mingling of snow and charcoal in his pelt. she swallowed, not wanting to stare too long; thankfully, her attention was diverted to merrick, who moved away to join his friend nunataq. this was a place of health and strength; she was glad that indra had led them here, even if stigmata had challenged their departure from bearclaw.
