Noctisardor Bypass stay crunchy

Haunt returned to Sapphique and spent several days checking on and topping caches, mostly with small game. Satisfied with her work there, she resumed tracking the Broken Antler herd. She kept a close eye on the pregnant does. She still didn't know when they might drop their fawns. Haunt observed for a few hours, leaving when the herd came to rest on Dawnlark Plains.

But instead of heading north toward home, she went south, toward the place where she'd been born. Haunt had no idea what compelled her in this direction, other than the ever-present homesickness which plagued her ever since Vex's departure. It welled up when she reached the bypass's borders, the ache so poignant she stopped to catch her breath.
