Redsand Canyon mollis

The Imperator had returned to Mereo.

Cad moved swiftly to answer the man’s call. His pawsteps were light. He found the meeting grounds where Germanicus sat and dipped his head.

There was word of changes. The Imperator spoke of leaving Mereo. He stated that the lady Fennec would not be keeping her role in the canyon. The young medic wondered what this meant for her. He had enjoyed their conversation. He had enjoyed her company. Though she spoke of having taken a different path, he believed she had more to teach him.

The silver frame of the young wolf was stiff. He did not dare look at the others who had gathered. He wondered what they would say, if another would step up to take the place of the Imperator.

Cad wondered if he would remain in Mereo. Something pulled his mind elsewhere.
