She had meant to go North, in search of Meerkat. Towards Moonglow, as Phox had (presumably) directed. Instead, when Dhalia had come to the cusp of Firefly Glen, she found she couldn't move any farther. She gazed out along the land she'd once thought that maybe, possibly, one day, she'd come to call home. It rested... rather peaceful. Devoid of any of the screams or anguish that had filled the Glen when she had fled. If Dhalia hadn't known any better, she might have stayed.
But an awful dread had risen like bile in her throat, and the only way her feet would move her was back in the direction she had come.
She skirted around the Caldera, too, until the flatlands bogged down to marshland and she found herself squelching through reeds and half-thawed mud. Wet earth caked the sandy fur of her legs and soon she found herself tracing the scent line of what she could only imagine as a resident pack. The Ostrega peered into the land with curious eyes, hoping she might catch some movement within. Quite ready for a distraction.
