Larksong Grotto With apple blossom in her hair

Forward dated approximately 1 week to account for my travel threads

The time had come. There was no use wasting it further.

Though Saena herself had never been to the grotto, Spring had scouted it for her and told her where it could be found long ago, before they left the taiga. It wasn't inconspicuous, either. The scent of wolves wreathed the place and it was more of a hole in the ground from a distance than anything spectacular. As she approached it slowly, she couldn't help noting that it was a perfect home for rats. She was horrified to think her daughters had been taken to such a place.

She stopped well shy of the borders so as not to rouse too much ire and scowled into the territory like a wraith from hell come to seek revenge on some poor soul within. But the soul she sought to set free if he interfered was anything but poor. Resolutely, the copper-marked wolf set her paws on the ground, summoned what strength she had remaining, then howled loudly for @Indra and @Laurel in an effort to call them forth, assuming they were in fact here. She hoped to take them without incident, but knew that was unlikely to happen, so she mentally prepared herself for the worst fight of her life.
