Lone Star Mountain see in the dark

Little did she know, her lie was in fact the truth. When the wolf closer to Vex howled for their parents, Haunt's heart thudded in her chest. Neither one would come and even an answer was unlikely, though perhaps Arbiter might overhear it. That was as far as Haunt's guessing went before her mother abruptly manifested as if the howl had magically summoned her there.

Haunt should've found the sight reassuring, even though she knew her mother would be angry with them. Arbiter's wrath was likely preferable to whatever these strangers might have in store for them. Instead, her appearance triggered the pup's fight-or-flight response. For the moment, she didn't even consider Kaertok or her joint effort with Vex to track down their father. Haunt thought of no one and nothing at all as she simply sought to flee all the perceived threats.

The terrain was rocky and unfamiliar. And it was dark. Heedless of these obstacles, Haunt sprang into the shadows beside her swarthy adversary, intending to slip past him like a ghost and vanish into the night.
