Northstar Vale i used to be gossamer and silk

the morning is distant and the vale remains in the thrall of night. his eyes investigating with hungry desire to keep things safe. this was nothing more than normalcy for him. once when darkness blotted out the sun and once more when golden rays would again kiss the earth. collision was often busy tending to things around the vale that maintained the level of security he wished to promote for the mothers and children that lived there. 

 tonight a new smell lingered in several spots around the vale and collision was going to track it. it didn't take long for him to latch on and follow it. the smell distinguishing itself and becoming stronger as time passed. 

 he comes to a rockier terrain of the empire. a small cave formation coming into view. and from it emerged another. he was as greyscale as the approaching count and he looked strong. he assumed no threat was posed given the distance the scent had travelled. had he been with ill will he wouldn't linger in the territory after his business had been completed. 
 
 a throat chuff barrelled from the diaphragm of the boy as he sought to make his appearance known. he wanted to avoid a quarrel at all costs and give the other chance to accept or decline company for the time being.
