Sun Mote Copse gone but not forgotten

She had to admit, it was nice to be out, exploring a place she had not been before. of course, it came with a good deal of anxiety, as well. She hadn't traveled this far from the forest since what had happened with the monster, and she couldn't help but be nervous. 

As they trekked north towards the coast, and then west towards the mountains, she could feel her anxiety growing, but she tried her best to hide it from her packmate—whether or not she was successful, she didn't know. The pups were left in good hands, she knew, so she could at least not have to worry about them. 

The river led them along the side of the mountain and through more lands she had never seen before. The place they were now was full of faded scents and abandoned dens, meaning that a pack had possibly been here at some time. At Vallkyries words, Simmik stopped and looked over at her. She frowned. I don't remember these visitors, she told her packmate. I wonder where they are now and what drove them to move? Maybe they had just wanted to go somewhere different, but maybe there was something dangerous around and they needed to be more careful.
