Emberwood the faults lies in our eyes

Danica hadn't had any desire to return in any capacity since their journey to the Glacier. The place was quickly becoming as much a home as any she had lived in, mostly thanks to Njal and Tuwawi's leadership and the family atmosphere of the place. True, she had not yet met most of her packmates, but the same could have been said of Swiftcurrent when she resided there. Danica tended to run in small circles.

They seemed a decent bunch, however, and eventually she would make their aquaintances. Today, though, she found her steps leading her outside of the borders, away from the Glacier and back towards Teekon. The opposite direction from the Creek, though. She would take no chances there. Her goal was nowhere in particular, but she soon found herself in a stand of trees, their tops beginning to sprout the reds and yellows of the approaching fall.

Suddenly, a familiar scent caught her attention, and she looked up, surprised. She could not see him, but he was there somewhere. "Shadow?" she asked, voice raised to carry, surprised she would run into him there of all places. Why was he not in Swiftcurrent lands?!
