Deepwood Weald and now we're still again so I set it on fire

forward dated for tomorrow. any tags are references to recent threads in the area.

so this is how she'd gone about finding her way here. after finally getting a needed break from the woods- a sentence she wished wasn't as true as it was, she had set off to have a go at ramsay's request at a brisk and eager trot. she went straight for the great bear wilderness based on her hunch of them residing there /which she'd mentioned a number of times in various threads/ in a north west kind of direction which landed her near the firefly glen- the last place she'd seen aries those moons ago..not that that had anything to do with this of course. stopping for a quick refresher at the streams heading towards the big salmon lake she'd stopped to ponder where she ought to go from there. this was a big chunk of land to cover after all.

in an effort to discover their location she tried to think as if she were damien and looking for somewhere to stay, his obvious wanting to return to blackfeather woods had to mean he'd want to reside somewhere at least somewhat similar right? so it was likely a forest. since she'd already been travelling in a north west direction to bring her as far as the firefly glen she decided to stick to that and just hope that their forest wasn't located somewhere south of her own standing point. for now she just had to hope she'd be right and deal with what she'd do next if she wasn't when the time came, if the time came. had to stay positive. so she walked, skipping past the heartwood because well, that couldn't even be considered as a real forest anymore and it evidently would not sustain a single loner let alone a full pack. 

it took a while but she finally reached her first forest /the neverwinter forest/ here it took a while to circle around the bondary and it was tedious work but eventually she could conclude it was uninhabited much to her disappointment. sitting at the edge of a meadow /the chimera fields/ she would allow herself to hunt, catching herself a rabbit and nap briefly at the forest's edge. after that she'd set off once more until finally reaching where she now stood, the deepwood weald. upon her first brief inspection she was ready to angrily label it also a dead end but after a more thorough sniffing she began to catch scents as stale as anything but still lingering nevertheless. it took a lot to wipe out the scent of an entire pack especially in the summer where weather wasn't quite so dramatic. 

a much closer inspection definitely confirmed that the melonii had been living here but had not in a while, why? she was no seasoned scout so tracking wasn't her best skill meaning she couldn't confirm quite how old the scents were but they were at least a couple moons. what if they hadn't come back after their invasion on their pack, but why? if they'd set up nearer to attack again why wait this long? she'd lean back on her haunches, frowning as her tail lashed in frustration. she had to focus, had anyone been here more recently? inhaling deeply she'd wrinkle her nose and shut her eyes- quite a comical appearance but her mood was anything but as she struggled to differentiate the scents mingling in the air already lush with life and vegetation. the most recent smells were one of a bear which was quite concerning but it didn't seem to be still around, not here anyway, and a wolf bearing a scent similar to dirge meaning it must be from moonspear. these scents were pretty recent indeed, it seemed like they'd been here only days ago. 

yet working even harder she came across something a lot more rewarding- faintish yes but still a whole lot stronger than the faint pack smell was that of @Aries. he must have come back, why, why, why? he hadn't been alone she realised and was surprised to recognise the other smell as @Malcanthet, the wolf who'd hunted with the pack a little while back. her eyes would narrow with suspicion, had he been a melonii spy? but no, there'd definitely been no pack smell on him when he'd joined them. a frustrated huff would escape her as she lifted her gaze to the thick canopy above, well what the fuck did she do now?
