Northstar Vale fire in my bones quakes

!!!

the vale was where the saints had been when akashingo and ursus found them.

germanicus returned here for a patrol. but the scents were stale. still he trotted through the quiet and snow-covered place.

but he was not alone. ahead of him, a wolf roamed. he thought the individual to be feminine from their shape alone. the imperator let out a chuff, signalling that she should stop.

he approached to appraise, expression blank.

and he thought wildly of crowfeather.
