Twisted Slough tal-pasaj

Ulrich was in the slough again, and regretting it. This place stank of fetid, still water and decaying earth. However, it was important to patrol the surroundings areas to the Isle, especially with Adylaide pregnant and soon to give birth. He needed to make doubly sure everything was safe.

Soon, above the smell of wet and rotting, he smelled Wolf. This was the other reason he often patrolled outside of the Isle. It was the only real chance he had to recruit new members to their small pack, since canids did not often make it all the way to their home. This was good, for it meant less chance of making enemies, but it meant they had no friends, either.

It was difficult to see or smell properly in this dank place, so Ulrich called out, Hello? as he continued to search around for the wolf he could smell.
