Flycatcher Downs i've been everywhere, man

set shortly after their thread at Easthollow @Murdock

With some haste, Shale set off for the northwest. Murdock had agreed to accompany him, at least for a little while, and for once, he was glad of his older brother's presence. It was good to talk and catch up with Mur after all these seasons.

They skirted around a valley that had the scent of a few wolves--a budding pack, perhaps--and found themselves on a vast expanse, the mountains looming a short distance ahead. The range was smaller, less imposing, here, and Shale felt they could cross with no issue.

Grayday. His brother rested foremost in his thoughts. And if Day was here, perhaps Spot was with him, too. Shale couldn't wait to see his brother again, and to meet his children--my family, he noted with a small burst of happiness.

He was a little sad he could not stay with Murdock at Easthollow; it seemed a lovely place, with a great leader. But it seemed he was destined to move on, and so he did, with determination.
