Sunspire Mountains oppono

@Nephele @Sakai @Sihaya (@Jawahir) + any ursus wolves that stayed behind!

akashingo had yet been present for the promised battle. the war had dwindled to a skirmish, and nyra had run with another packmate.

merrick disappeared into the shadows after the pair.

germanicus flicked his eyes over the mountain. "she was gravely wounded. it will not be long before rest is necessary." such things were a matter of timing.

they had gathered bones and medicines. germanicus gestured toward the piles. "these must be carried back for slate." for crowfeather. 

"i will follow merrick and see where our enemy has gone." nephele was wounded and in the curious company of a bird. germanicus stalked to her. in his eyes were both approval and worry. "go with the pharaoh." she could not be a good escort alone and so he nodded at their newest, sakai. "carry what you are able. walk with them. return to the mesa."

this left sihaya. germanicus would rather not be alone with that one, but he had seen the demonic fighting of the tradesman. his internal feelings were irrelevant. "you and i will track and then we will also go back to akashingo. pharaoh," he said softly, "i will be four days behind you."
