there are no immortals in this life; even stories come to die

After the news of Astara's pregnancy, and her impending due date, Galena began to hunt and strategically cache carcasses near the center of the territory. In the damp, spring soil the bodies wouldn't last for very long -- but it was a habit most wolves couldn't break. The instinct to horde food was too strong. Galena pondered searching for bigger game... rally up a crew, perhaps. The concealed oasis that was Bearclaw Valley could not the support the amount of prey that larger, more open, expanses could. Would they have to leave the safety of Ursus to find bison and elk?

As she pondered, a very distinct scent arrived knocking at her nose. A wolf she had not met... a woman. Intrigued, Galena picked up her pace towards the stranger and their borders, turning the corner to see the dark woman a league away.
