Stavanger Bay so rested he by the Tumtum tree

Seal admired, and even envied, the relationship between Blossom and Snowdrop. The small bird really seemed to enjoy the wolf’s company! A constant companion seemed like a nice thing to have…

“Och, what’ll happen if he brings a wee ladybird back?” Seal joked with a laugh. Soon, Blossom might host a whole family of Shrikes chicks!

The conversation changed with a question. “Aye, many,” Seal affirmed. “Most of the packs here are all allies, and their villagers freely come an’ go.”

She started with her snout pointed towards Oroborus Spine. “Moonglow is that way… its the longest established pack. It’s led by Kukutux, also known as Moonwoman, an’ her husband Aiolos… though, their daughter, Vaire, is training tae become the new leader.” Next she gestured to Ocean’s Breath Plateau. “Their son-in-law, Rodyn, leads Moontide.” Then Seal again pointed, again, at Moonspear. “An’ their daughter, Sialuk, leads Moonspear. Inbetween, in Deepwood Weald, is a pack called Morningside led by a man named Dutch. They’re good allies with the rest of the Moon Villages.

“Oh… an’ beyond, in the Hinterlands, is a pack called Sun Mote Copse… that’s where my Mum and Da lead a pack,” she added with a proud puff of her chest.

“Will you travel back home tae the Willows now?” Seal genuinely asked. “Or, are you headed somewhere particular?”
