Blackbeak Bluff And I'll never be alone

Sequoia thought it sad that Wraen's mother did not live nearby, and even more sad that Wraen seemed to be disheartened by it. The piebald girl wondered what had made her leave or if for some reason her parents had told her to go. She furrowed her brow, trying to think of any reason she might leave Drageda and go somewhere else, but she drew a blank. Her home was the best, and she was quite proud to live there and be a part of it. She still could not understand why Dalia had left (or any other wolf who had come and gone).

Sirio left before I can remember, and Dalia left, too. Why did you leave home if it was nice and happy there? she asked, tilting her head to one side as she walked on toward Drageda. Maybe Wraen could be like her mother and come to Drageda and be a mother with... well, somebody. She knew that wolves did occasionally join their ranks, and Sequoia thought Drageda was a happy place. It was everything a home was meant to be, in her opinion (which was the correct opinion).
