Larksong Grotto firestarter

for @Jhala

vuk had spent long nights of sleeplessnes thinking upon what she must now do. though the path was muddled, she had gained clarity in her hours of contemplation, and found that the beginning of her road was one of truth. she had not been to see reek since their embrace, and while the memory of it flushed her skin and caused her heart to race, the girl knew she must not dwell upon it. such moments were only a distraction from her true intentions.

it was with a quiet heart that she left seff with one who would entertain him and went to search out the third of her ties to the departed ridge pack: jhala, she who had climbed to reek's confidence, only to be usurped by the priestess. she avoided the lake alongside which she and the dark leader had consummated their desperate, frenzied bond and instead moved to the borders, calling for the beta to grace vuk with her presence.
