Noctisardor Bypass Macklin, you son of a bitch

The mountains were still daunting, for whatever reason. Plus, he was feeling a pull back to Dawn and Minnow and the incoming babies. He said he'd move on (and it was his duty!) but. . .he felt stuck. He began to wander toward Whitebark Stream again, keeping the range in his periphery.

Before he got there, though, Timberlake found a couple of mountains off by themselves, and a valley splitting between the rocks. Not only that, but the scent of wolves was layered pretty strongly here. No one had mentioned another pack so close to the Maplewood, and yet this must be one—right?

He came to the borders and howled, head cocked in curiosity. Surely any members of his family so close would have just opted to join Dawn's pack, but maybe they didn't know about it. Maybe he could at least give them the message.

For @Treason and other Legion wolves lul woops i meant @Arbiter
