Swiftcurrent Creek daffodils

bhediya hadn't expected an outburst so she wasn't surprised when it didn't come. just like grayday, she thought to herself. that's good. he was in bad shape when i found him. she wondered if his memories had begun to reappear, or if he was still as sick as before. one could only pray.

i was helping with a pack in the emberwood, she said, looking wearily toward the west, but i'm setting up something new, up in the mountains. it was one of the first times she'd admitted that, yes, this was a pack they were forming. a lot of changes would occur over the next few months; was she ready?
