Blackfeather Woods Find your way, through the mist.

Why had Celara decided to join Ivory Rose? She had been alone, but Kaistleoki would have been a safer choice, even if she had to walk longer to reach it. She considered the question for a time.
"My last pack was broken from the inside. This one is stronger. But not crueler." Her words weren't wrong, exactly. She was indeed relieved by the pack's focus on strength and protection. But she had only learned about it after she had made her decision to join. "Besides... I liked the territory. It felt secure." She admitted, having the feeling that the other wolf might spot her near-lie. The forest, however creepy she had found it at first, did feel protective, in its own way. Feeling like she'd spoken enough, Celara waited for Zephyr's response.
