Moonsong Glacier [m] going toe to toe with an enchantress

Wow I really dropped the ball on this. Entirely my bad, I didn't realize it had been so long! We can probably wrap up since they've gone back to the valley now.

I am sure you will, said Aventus with the ghost of an amused smile, the whisper of a chuckle. Some wolves felt it necessary to hear the skills of another and judge their worth on it. Not Aventus. He would judge what was shown to him with time, as he had everyone who pledged to Ursus. Evien and Ashlar had had the same heart but one would scrap like a wolverine to defend his family while the other couldn't defend a hunk of rotting meat.

Where Val fell on that spectrum of expectation was up to him. Aventus would judge him by his deeds. No pretty words would change that. Come, he bid the wolf of the sea. Come and see the mountain.
