Firefly Glen don't run away, oh, stay with me

West couldn't help but let out an awkward chuckle in agreement. So much had happened over the last year it felt incredibly long. He only met Polaris in the summer... but it had felt like so much longer, almost as if he had always known her. Things had to be better this year though, he would make it so. This suffering that threatened to cling to him he would forever shake and make his own path. Something for the better, if not for him, then for Polaris.

Thanks, that...means a lot. Though honestly there was a part of him that could probably stay here forever. It wasn't long ago that he threatened to leave his home, find someplace else, and hopefully, drag the attention of Ursus along with his departure, but that was a life he could not live. I don't know about leading. I feel like some days I'm barely in control of myself, let alone a whole pack.

His mother's words rang in his head. No one would follow him if he didn't believe in himself. He couldn't let that weakness show, but Osiris wasn't his pack. He was an ally and an equally young leader. I fear I'll do the wrong things for Easthollow... a while back I messed up pretty bad and...well, I think our troubles with our neighbors stem from my actions. The witch. No matter how much he felt he was just, he never meant to take her life. Now Ursus wanted revenge and only time would tell how long that vengeance would burn bright.
