Nova Peak III

General catchup thread for MR :) Ambiguous timing

There were familiar things.

The aromatic, defrosting loam. Sprigs of snowdrops and crocuses. Birdsong and the sound of running water.

Spring had some again.

But with it came unfamiliar things. Alien things.

Wolves infiltrated the Taiga. Cloud Dancer and Grim Tooth wandered from the mountain. Others invaded it.

Moon Runner was on guard. Disturbed. Confused. She did not understand the world in which the others lived. Why Grim Tooth, Cloud Dancer, or Waterstone’s mate meddled with other clans. Why so many wolves frequented Nova Peak’s borders. Stole from their hunting grounds. There was tension in the air and the smell of hostile pheromones on the wind.

Moon Runner had no answers. Only the feeling of being a stranger in these different times.
