Jade Fern Grove You Face it all the Same

not entirely sure where to fit this into the timeline sooo i'm going to be vague about a lot of things, lol.

gathering those that would rise against donovan was slow going, but the diplomacy it would require was delicate and could not be rushed. in the allying of packs that otherwise have no reason aside from a current common goal, if not done right, could backfire. for this, praimfaya draws from the experience of her predecessors.

she wanders away from the coast, with the intention of not staying away for too long, curious about what other packs she might be able to cajole. there are the packs she knows of …and then there are packs that have cropped up that she doesn’t know of. the wilds were vast, after all and being confined to a pack’s claim while gathering intel had not left too much time for exploration.

there are no packs in the grove, and thus she seeks the large emerald fronds in the dark of the night as a reprieve; a temporary shelter. at first, she ignores the rustling from somewhere nearby; wrongfully assuming it is a woodland critter. it is only as the breeze lifts and trickles her way does she realize her mistake. it is a wolf. an ursus wolf. remembering her and renard’s run-in with astara, praimfaya lets out a chuff to announce her presence.
