Firefly Glen In Twilight

This will be an interesting thread. I'm going to leave the posting order open because this will eventually, potentially, involve a LOT of wolves via howl. 

The ground was cold, and in places the grasses had begun to shrivel and die, leaving behind little bare patches here and there. Given the fact that it had been days since it had rained, even scents that were a few days old still remained, albeit faded. He'd made his way along the borders twice already, and had wound his way through the packlands, following the many water sources that trailed this way and that. Unless there was a hidden spring he didn't know about, then he hadn't been able to find @Fennec's scent within the packlands. Still- he supposed she might be here.

There were lots of small ponds with tall, reedy grasses thick with the scent of algae, so she could have disguised her scent and remained hidden. It felt futile to call out for her, knowing she would likely avoid his summons. So, instead, he decided to try a different tactic. If Fennec was inside the Glen, she was avoiding him- but he had the sneaking suspicion, the budding dread, that she wasn't there at all- and that she hadn't been, for a few days now. He had to make sure before he lost his marbles and went on a wild goose chase, and knowing how intelligent Fennec was...If she didn't want to be found, she wouldn't be found.

So his next course of action was to seek out his leaders, knowing that he might be able to use one of them, and that they ought to be among the first alerted to the suspicion he had that Fennec wasn't with them.

It could be nothing, he told himself. She could be simply up on Moonspear with Kukutux- which was an option. She could have been visiting her family on the Caldera- this was also an option. But she wasn't here, and she hadn't been for days. She didn't usually leave for days, and for some reason that sinking feeling at the back of his throat made him feel like he shouldn't just assume she was taking space. It didn't feel as though Fennec was taking space- for some reason, it seemed like space had taken her.

So he called out for @Atlas, @Antares and @Osiris, hoping that one of them would be nearby so that he could put them to use. He had a plan- and he would need one of them to enact the first part of it.
