Starglow Basin polvo

soto is too tired to be clever.

he motions for the man to follow him.

they walk through the stone quarter, up the shalestone steps that mark lookout point. the way is narrow; wide enough for only one wolf at a time.

soto's ascent is hardly swift; he has his own limbs to favor, and injuries to attend.

lookout point ends as a large ledge, its northwestern side flattened enough for several wolves to stand upon.

sangre sleeps before them, a bed of antelope and sheep for her comfort. soto steps lightly past her and motions the lion do the same.
