With a few more words of instruction, Scarlett then departed - and Anselm watched her go, drifting off, likely in search of other potential bodies to add to her number. When he was alone, Anselm let out a soft sigh and began marching on. He'd have to figure out where he was going next, and then worry about this pack he had now signed on with. What if it didn't work out? What if these strangers saw a spark of something inside of him (the way his father did, his mother did, and all those others)? Anselm did not want power; he wanted to live his life free of commitment and responsibility - which meant, joining this pack was quite a feat of accomplishment. With such thoughts clouding his mind, he headed off in to the wilderness.
