Ravensblood Forest High time for some camaraderie

Would love to chill with some STM members I haven't yet met. @Ezekiel & @Makui. Also this can double as our hunting thread @Anita. AW though, so if you wanna pop in you can do so.

Silvertip's size had fluctuated as of late. On the bad end of things, many were now gone, whether of their own accord or taken by death. Mason, who he had never met. June, found dead in a field. One of Zaria's pups--he had heard the mother's mournful howl. On the good end, they had added to their ranks several wolves of talent. Ezekiel brought brute strength, Niita kindness, Anita cunning. He had not yet met the new wolf Steady had admitted into the pack just recently, but he felt this latest recruit was just as worthy as the last.

Speaking of Steady, news had spread that the big black wolf had ascended to alpha, with Zaria taking a backseat as beta while she cared for her pups. Phocion thought that was a good decision. Steady had a fine head on his shoulders, was fair and just with everyone he dealt with, and was strong and capable. Silvertip would thrive under his reign, Phocion was sure of it.

The white wolf mused through all of this as he trotted through the dark forest, shadowed by Silvertip to the southwest and by some mountain range on the opposite side. It was calm enough in there, but the reddish sap running down the tree trunks lent it an unsettling feeling--he supposed that was why they called it Ravensblood, that and the sounds of those black birds scattered throughout the branches above. Phocion was hoping he could find prey here, as well as companionship. There were wolves he had yet to meet formally in his own pack, and so he tipped his head back and let out a howl, calling for several to join him here.
