Blackfeather Woods and she was a war zone of a woman

the offer to take him to bearclaw valley feels like it was handed to him too easily. towhee jr had flat out refused and made him promise when he'd left frosthawks he'd seek his grandmother in the caldera and wouldn't go looking for their graves. that he wouldn't go to bearclaw valley. and while ghost had kept him on track then, tzar never had the intention to listen.

he expected to find some kind of closure there.

why would you show me the way? tzar asks abruptly, though he hurries after the stranger, driven by the fear of being left behind. he's wary but willing to take the chance if it means he can finally see for himself that what his mother had told him was true.
