Firefly Glen Why you always seem in a bad mood?

She was not surprised at how many showed, knowing Moonspear and Firefly Glen to act as though they were a veritable clown car of wolves, all piling out to see what the commotion was. And truly, her heart swelled to see just how many of them showed, pride burning fiercely alongside the anger and the disgust. An odd mix of emotions, yes, but nevertheless she forged onwards, listening to what each one of them had to say in turn.

Hydra's solution was the end-all-be-all answer that she had in mind, but unlike the heathens that lived in the Strath, she would not attack, or kill for that matter, without considerable justification. Justification that she believed she could provide. Breaking the earnest silence that followed Hydra's words, the valkyrie spoke once more, her tone and message both grave.

He has solid reason to believe she's been taken. Recently, the Forest took in a couple of orphans and Simmik was looking after them. She did not return after a nightly patrol, and this is out of character for her according to Mal, especially knowing that she had pups to look after.

When we found the scene, it was a disaster. Fur everywhere. The foliage was destroyed and crushed. It was absolutely the scene of a fight, and yet there was no blood trail leading anywhere. A wolf goes home if they are wounded, if they have pups to care for. Add that to the fact that he is sure she'd never go anywhere with Kynareth after finding out that he is a rapist and kidnapped someone prior... It doesn't bode well for the Forest, or any of us.

However, there is also the chance that it wasn't him. I don't know what plague descends on these wilds if another wolf is running around kidnapping others, but...

Looking around to each of them, old and new, she knew she would leave none of them alone with the mutt. Her attention settled on Hydra, Osiris, and Dirge in turn, her gaze fierce. Whoever it is, is an infection, She pronounced, unknowingly mirroring her brother's thoughts. If it is Kynareth, he is a danger. To us, and any future wolf that dwells in these lands. Rather than cutting the head from a snake, thus giving it the mythical chance to grow several more heads, Keres was in favor of eradicating the infection, though she knew it was not her decision to make.

If it is not, then... She trailed off, mouth set in a grim line. I think we should try and investigate further, perhaps send scouts out to survey and talk to others and see if anyone else has has had trouble. I don't know, but with Spring coming, it is an issue that will have us all looking over our shoulders.
