Birthplace, the spirit whispered to its vessel as Moon Runner walked among the charred boles of Redtail Rise.
Scents had grown stale. The forest, quiet.
There was no sign of Father, Mother, Sister, Vulture, Faraway Shadow, Pebble, Little Paw, Storm Chaser, Red Wolf, or Chipmunk.
Cloud Dancer and Grim Tooth had travelled away long ago, as well.
The burned place transformed into a forest of pine and spruce. She took a well-remembered path. Moon Runner never thought she would return. It wasn’t the path of a dispersal wolf. But it seemed her spirit knew something the vessel didn’t.
She arrived at an overlook and stood on a plinth of rock.
