At the borders, Asphodel sent up a call, and stood back to consider what lies she might tell to earn herself a place here. She only needed one or two, perhaps three if pressed, but they had to be good lies.
The first rule of creating a new identity: always base it in the truth.
I dispersed from my family pack last winter, she recited in her head. I followed a herd for awhile, hunted its members when I had company. But then... Then what?
Then something happened. No, that would never work.
Then an injury forced me to settle for awhile. It's healed now, but I can't move like I used to. I can track, though.
Maybe she could turn it into something of worth when the time came to speak the words. She needed this; she needed a foot in the door, or she'd never survive.
