Blacktail Deer Plateau i just took a DNA test: turns out, i'm 100% that bitch

More and more seemed to find their way to the plateau these days, which made the boy wonder: were other lands just as troubled as their own? Was the prey loath to return all across the region, to the point that it drove those in search of it to new homes? He wondered about it intently, wishing he could see all of the lands from the comfort of his own home. The thoughts plagued his mind as he left the heart of the territory for the outskirts, until they were wiped away clean by the familiar—and reoccurring—scent of the sea.

The suspicion that, that was her reasoning for being there made him wonder all the more—why were so many suddenly coming from the shore?
