Duskfire Glacier pixel empire

he couldn't say what brought him to duskfire glacier. he'd made sure @Hyacinth knew he was going on a trip, and that he'd be back, but he didn't say where he'd be going. nor did he invite him along; someone had to watch the children, and zephyr needed to do this alone anyway.
the glacier smelled different than it had when he'd left it, though he didn't think much of that. what stuck out to him was the distinct lack of wintersbane's scent along the borders; as far as he knew, the alpha patrolled often. the absence didn't bode well... but perhaps he was simply busier these days. zephyr wouldn't be surprised if he was, given how many children he'd sired. so, despite his doubts and his misgivings, zephyr sent up a call specifically for the dark alpha who had likely sired his children — unaware that the man had long left this world.
