Hideaway Strath Now I'm a thousand miles away again

The northern man had agreed to travel with Lane. He didn’t feel it would be wise to send only a small party. If three of them went together, they would be safer. It would not suit the mountain pack to have their Beta pair assaulted or worse at the borders of an unknown claim. Word was that the wolves could have been a danger. Issorartuyok was not certain he liked that. 

Drawing up beside Lane, he scanned the territory ahead with a shrewd stare. He was not sure if they would meet their party or not, but he hoped that all would go well. Their village could not suffer the hardships of anything else, not after what they had endured.
