Whitebark Stream winded

Ibis, the former leader, was sick a for a long time, Kavik started. Our numbers dwindled throughout the winter and the pack was no longer sustainable. Some stayed there, but we had children to consider, and they could not be born in such an uncertain situation, so we left, he explained. He felt guilty for the way things had fallen apart, more names to add to his list of wolves he had let down. But his children were more important than anything; he had to make sure they survived at all costs. He knew it was not the most popular decision, but he wouldn't lose anymore children and he wouldn't let Grezig carry their children in a place that wasn't safe or protected. He wasn't sure how the leader would feel about his answer, and his heart thumped nervously against his ribs as he waited. He didn't want to have to search for another place to stay; Grezig needed to be resting, not trekking across the wilds stressed and worried.
