"When I returned to Teekon I joined a pack called Bracken Sanctuary, I was taken in by a woman named Lily. It's where I later met Kavik." She smiled fondly. "It seems they've moved and changed their name. It would be great if we could ally with them, they're a kind bunch."

"You could not disappoint me, Rue - even if you had refused. Leadership is not a calling everyone feels, but I appreciate you answering it," she smiled. Hopefully in time,  Ruenna could see what Liri saw in her.
