Moonspear know that the shine inside will always keep you strong

He agreed to consider it, though he had a condition. The thought hadn’t even crossed her mind. Treepie went still, her brow knitting in thought. She had come back to Moonspear desperate for the comforts of familiarity… but as she’d said, she knew she, Alaric and Tiki should go to Moonglow or Redhawk Caldera eventually. Now there seemed to be another option on the table.

That seems like a fair trade, she said with a decisive dip of her snout. I mean, you know I’m definitely in if you choose Moonspear, Pie added with the ghost of a cheeky smile.

See those? she asked as they continued moving toward the marks on the mountainside. Anaang told me about a strange storm that left them. That same storm killed several members of our family, including her taataa. That’s what led to Moonglow’s founding.

After they took a few moments to ponder that landmark, Tiuttuk decided to show him to the healing ulaq. It had been in bad shape the day they’d left, which felt like only yesterday to her. But time made itself known in the log’s collapse. She actually stopped and stared at it in silence for a long beat, not really sure how to feel.

Onward, she said a moment later, and upward.

Treepie motioned Katmai to ascend once more. She would take him somewhere with an unforgettable view, she decided. Then she would make a point to show him all the ulax, even if their emptiness would have the same effect as the ruins of the healing ulaq. She would show him that this place still had all the makings of a prosperous village. It only needed wolves.

Fade here? :)
