@Maia
Right after talking with Chickadee and learning the news Dwin went to seek out her mom. With so few people around the caldera felt oddly empty and with the daylight dwindling and mist rising up from the lake and snaking through the trees, the atmosphere gained an almost ghostly quality. It was quiet too - all the songbirds, of which there had been plenty and galore in the spring, had left - save for a crow and a sparrow here and there. The territory that had been so full of life had grown dark and gloomy. As if it knew that the family, who had called this place home for so many years, was leaving and therefore was mourning in resentful silence.
Dwin was not a fearful wolf, but even she was not immune to this sense, therefore she was glad that she first caught scent, then sight of her mother in the distance. She quickened her step to reach her. For a moment she felt as a little kid, who had wandered just a little too far in the woods, got scared of the shadows and only the warm light of Maia's presence could save her from being dragged away by the sinister forces lurking around. "Hey," she called out to her, right before she went ahead to greet her in a very affectionate way. "I am glad I managed to catch you before your big adventure!" she said, looking her mom up and down, feeling happy that at least one person in her life had not changed much at all.
