Back to the Village

~ LHARS ~

He was near the front when they reached the village. He'd been communicating directly with Zev the whole way as their progress seemed so teeth-grindingly slow.

The females had been difficult to get moving, but once they were walking, seemed to settle some. Lhars had taken his wolf form and run twice as many miles as the others walked, crossing back and forth from the back of the pack where Kyelle brought up the rear with Mae and a couple of others of the stronger females, and the front where Dunken and half the wolf-pack scouted, ensuring there were no hidden traps or intruders attempting to ambush them.

But while it was a slow trip with so many in human form, they made it to the village safely. Lhars found his skin humming with anticipation.

He ran forward to find Sasha and Zev standing on the large mound in the center of the square, near where the trail led away towards the Gateway cave.
