Bearclaw Valley however dangerous this may be

@Astara @Skoll Almir @Taylor @Evien @Ico @Toad, please let @Ulysses post first and welcome to a pack meeting. attendance strongly encouraged. @Fraser, feel free to make a cameo if he is around <3

the rain came and came and in its torrent, merrick discovered a little place amid the greening maples of bearclaw valley. a clearing, filled with a profusion of sprouting blue flowers that were now dappled in water.
the downpour eventually ceased, sunlight glancing in hallowed golden beams between the trees. merrick stood in silent wonder, looking out over them as he thought of many things, unsnarling them into coherent thought. then, and only then, did the boy call for all of them, humbled and filled with anticipation.
