Bearclaw Valley not everyone gets to die and that's just how it will be

This is a mandatory pack meeting re: the future of Ursus! Backdated to May 20th. Hoping to keep it short and quick due to its significance, so next round will start May 28th or once everyone responds. @Arielle @Cyril @Bernadette @Pandora

Aventus had thought long on this, and decided it was the only way forward for him.

It did not have to be the only way forward for all of Ursus. He would leave the choice up to them. It felt like a lifetime ago that he had pined to return to this very valley, but now the familiar sights and sounds blackened the edges of his heart. Stillrift reminded him that no one was trustworthy. Tumbleview reminded him of his mother. Silverstone reminded him of his father. The previously well-maintained Rivenstone was overgrown and wild now. Mosskeep made him anxious about the future. A future he could no longer envision here, where danger seemed to lurk around every corner, where their enemies knew to look for them.

He could not be happy here any longer, and more and more, Avicus' offer appealed. To detach himself from everything he had ever known and follow her path was a tantalizing offer. It had certainly proven more prosperous than following his father into the arms of madness.

That was the purpose for his brisk call in the misty morning, summoning the few wolves who lived here to his side to talk.
