Black Morass i've been looking all over the place for a place for me

special consideration to Saints (@Kynareth Deagon, @Derg, @Nyra) but AW

how in god's name had he wound up here?

cam had split from ziggy a few days after they'd located their sister. as tempting as it was to remain with his siblings, they had never been connected at the hip—and his home was neverwinter forest. he had to return, especially given everything that had been brewing.

now, though, he was completely and utterly lost. the shadowy boy wandered through the swamp, growing more troubled with each step. any scents were masked by the overwhelmingly fetid stench here. the mud was frozen and slick; his pads were weary, cold.

in a word, it was miserable. he had to get home. and so he sent up a howl to anyone that might find themselves in this dreadful place. a plaintive call, a wordless cry—

help me out! help me home!
