The Heartwood Dreamland is a free land

Then it's happened before? That was the thing that seemed most perplexing to Mal. Did that mean they had to worry about it happening again? He was really not fond of that. Not at all. He didn't want his pack to end up in danger from the world itself, of all things. But if Haoniyao had more knowledge about it, Mal had best make sure he had enough to be prepared...

Then, attention was drawn back to the weather. Huh. He crept forward just a little, squinting for a better view. The good part about the forest here being pretty dead was that there weren't really any leaves to fake them out. It did seem like things had pretty well tapered off, so he scuttled forward a little more to get out and stretch a bit. Hopefully it'll stay that way.  I probably need to be heading home before it all kicks off again -- but if you just want to get some shelter, it does eventually turn into something a bit more normal to the west. Thankfully. Given timelines, Mal for some reason would forget to recruit this guy this time around. Liquid time, huzzah!
