Bearclaw Valley "I have plans for you."

Glaukos wasn't sure if his fortunes were turning, but he now had a deal in place and would be able to recover from his physical wounds. It would only cost a walk down memory lane; but that was a wealth of information that Glaukos' brain would not want to give up. He did not want to think of things that came before, because he had been a different person then (or so he believed).

The pair of younger wolves showed him to the familiar stone slabs that stood as sentinels before the mouth of the valley, where the woman had first spotted him. Then they slipped away from him, off to hunt, and Glaukos watched them a moment before turning his attention to those stones—and to the path that led deeper in to Bearclaw, having never thought he'd be standing in this place ever again.
