What really matters

Anyone welcome!

There was something growing inside Bane's mind. It was something like a burning need to know what surrounded him. Swiftcurrent Creek had grown as one of the pack's main concerns after the battle. The ice warrior had expected them to be easy to take down, but that didn't mean they were away from other dangers. You can call it paranoia, but the silver warrior wasn't comfortable knowing that there were other packs that were even closer than Swiftcurrent Creek that he didn't know about.

It was easy taking the decision to leave the dark woods to explore the surroundings, it was his duty as Outrider after all; the hard part had been knowing that for as long as he wasn't in Blackfeather Woods his pups would be unprotected. This isn't safe from being considered paranoid either of course, the pack was the strongest and largest it had ever been, but Bane felt the need to be the only protector of the brood.

However, Bane had already crossed the Blackfeather borders once again, and he was already as far as Greatwater Lake, the place he'd chosen to spend the night as the setting sun suggested it would be better to find a good place to shelter from the cold winter night before it fell. His ghostly silhouette moved along the frozen coastal line, scanning his surroundings for any potential burrow without much success.
