Wheeling Gull Isle Cody says he didn't raise the dead

vague based on ongoing threads!

Somewhere, sometime, it had come out in the wash that a) Bronco and company were indeed headed to the island, and b) that company included the dark man who had been watching the stags. These developments, particularly the latter, came as a welcome surprise, and though she kept her distance, Blueberry followed.

There were no words in any language to describe the absolute thrill she felt upon setting foot on the frozen sands. The murmur of the sea in her ears once more; the great mountain towering over the isle; the endless ocean spanning over and beyond the horizon.

Blueberry let out a yip and began to gallop through the surf, kicking up water, heedless of the cold.

Plenty of time to search for Vesper (though she hadn't picked up her scent yet). For now, she would relish her return home—home! Her first true home, and the only one she'd ever cherished.
