Blackfeather Woods The flowers show us rain is necessary

Thank you, Maegi said sincerely, dipping her head in almost-demure fashion. It didn't take long, however, for her friend's familiar voice to bring clouds over the fleeting happiness she felt. Molag Bal. He was here, and close. No joy could erase that; they were all in danger, while he lurked nearby.

She sucked in a short breath through her teeth, glancing away. I'll tell Tundra to watch the borders more closely, she decided, after a pause. Jakoul, too. Anyone who's proven themselves strong, and loyal to these trees. They would need all paws for this.

Thank you for telling me, Maegi added, bringing her gaze to meet Moonshadow's. Stay safe. Stay within the heart of the forest until your pups are old enough to wander.
