Ankyra Sound into the rainbow vein

Idk if the forest counts as part of their territory too but feel free to PP if it totally is! I don't mind some whumping ;D

And to absolutely no-one's surprise, Lucca failed in his quest to find Fiadh.

In fact, it was he who needed finding now. He was still kinda salty his family hadn't sent for him, but he had told Tegan not to tell lest they fret — and Tegan didn't have the most spectacular memory nor attention span. Still, had they even worried in the slightest? Had they even noticed? The thoughts hung heavy on his mind like the storm clouds gathering above in the skies.

The pudginess of the Blackthorn's youth had been eaten away by his doomed journey, revealing a slimmer, slightly more muscled form (though still no less awkward). Whatever chance he had at even being mildly intimidating was cancelled out by the sad droop of his head and the pathetic, barely audible gurgling of his stomach. Winter had driven out most prey and the rare carcasses left behind in the snow-covered fields were measly, half-frozen pickings at best. Lucca missed a lot of things from the Plateau, but near the top of that list was the easy food. This lone wolf gig just wasn't for him.

As if in agreement, the sky rumbled a low warning. With an uneasy glance upwards, the boy's strides lengthened and carried him quickly towards a monolithic forest where he could wait out the storm. He was already cold and hungry, he didn't need to be wet, too.
