Neverwinter Forest In the Woods Somewhere

Getting back into the swing of this guy so the writing might be a bit off sorry sob
For @Solharr <33

Many months had passed since the burial of what the wolf believed to be the little lynx girl, now only a memory entwined with the scent of damp earth and funeral flowers. Yet since then, the mountains had never drifted far from view. Their silvered spires loomed on the horizon, always just in the corner of the wolf's eye as if they might stumble upon Mesen-Ka and his children once more if only they lingered long enough.

Did they truly want to find him again, though? After all, it had been he who had sent Moss on the search for their wayward daughter only to leave them to deal with the body without so much as a word. The thought lay heavy on him, tangled somewhere between resentment and sadness, too murky and complicated to untangle in the quiet of this particular autumn night.

The small wolf nosed his way into a patch of forest, where the trunks of the trees gathered close, their branches knitting together into a near impenetrable canopy. Beneath them, they found a hollow between roots, an inviting little dip in the earth, warm and dark. He eased himself down, curling into a tight ball, pink tongue pulling over sore legs and hips that ached from the cold.
