Swiftcurrent Creek survivor

The brevity of his stay surprised her, earning a smile. He was newer than her in many ways, then. Perhaps she could show him around the creek, take him by some of her favorite spots. She dogeared the idea, deciding to mention it later on in the course of the conversation.

He didn't know about the dealings with The Sunspire and the aspiring Chronicler saw her chance to shine. "Not so long ago, the creek was ruled by Cap'n Fox. Sometime after I left — or was taken, rather, by me wench mother and her band of scurvy dogs — two of the crew members acted out and she made 'em walk the plank. They set up shop in the nearby mountains — too close. The packs went at each other. The Sunspire wolves even took some of our crew captive, though they were given back when Fox tossed her cap to Bazi instead.

The creek lost some other good buccaneers along the way too," Bones lamented, staring into the distance. "Many of the creek wolves I knew and loved are gone, spread across the wilds now. Cap'n Fox now stands at the helm of Blacktail Deer Plateau and the faithful Tuwawi and Njal live a week's travel from here, near a glacier." Her eyes found their way back to Dovev, realizing he would probably not share in her personal sadness over these developments.
