Giving way to darkness

Set before this thread @Redwood

Silver had settled in well in her new pack, and had decided to go exploring. Her paws had brought her to the edge of a huge dark forest, marked heavily by a pack, known to her through whispered tales of a loner. She was quick to switch directions and head west, following a winding, thick river.

Today, her thoughts turned to a distant idea she had been toying with, something that she felt she wanted to do. The only thing to do would be find a perfect location, and while she told herself she was trying for her outrider trade, she wondered if she was really scouting locations.

At the streams banks she stopped, and dipped her muzzle in for a deep drink, attempting to quench her terrible thirst.
