Verdigris Ravine shadow

Day by day, she nursed little @Harta, her greatest treasure. She rested and bathed him, all the while @Zoug brought food. Darkwoman insisted he leave it at the entrance of the den and not step foot inside. She snarled when he got too close. 

But on this day, she'd slipped from her baby long enough for the shadow of the tribe to make the short trek to tribeden. A single yip for tribeman to follow. 

He had not caused any problems for her.

Had caused her no harm or grief. 

Dare she say, he'd been nothing but helpful.

He could be the first to lay eye open him. 

A dark form crested the archway. 

Impatient, wind blowing through black fur.
