Haunted Wood A lonely road

For Wraen's timeline purposes set on 12th/13th December

Wraen had not intended to wander that far South (past the notorious Caldera and the spooky Blackfeather woods), but the trail made by several roe deer had been too tempting to leave it "unfollowed". Therefore she had begun to track it, until she finally caught sight of the little herd that consisted of three older specimens and one, which - judging by the size - was younger. Too bad, however, that she was alone and the herd was further away from Moonspear than her howl could reach the packmates to aid her. With a sigh she was about to leave the place, when...

...she noticed a massive heap of fur several feet away from her and judging by the particular smell it belonged to another wolf or something along the lines. Curious she approached the animal, who was lying on the side, still breathing and radiating heat. "You are alive?" Wraen asked the first thing that came into her mind (and not particularly clever), while keeping her distance and ready to bolt for her life any second.
