It was Red Eye who found her first! A month older than she, the boy had already grown considerably larger as he teetered on the cusp of adolescence. In some ways, he looked like his brother, Shadow, but in some ways, he did not… perhaps he felt the same way about her and Sister, Saturday’s Sunset, her spirit mused.

They shared the similarity that one sibling had chosen hunting, while the other had chosen fighting or protecting. In many ways, the litters of Avicus and New Snow were like mirror images. Male and female. White and black.

Yes! I will hunt with you! her spirit cheered. Then she suddenly turned around and looked back over her shoulder.

This way, I will show you a trail my mother showed me, her spirit said.
