Stone

The quiet Healer of the Sheer Cliffs Pack.

Stone had been part of a nomadic Pack before finding the Sheer Cliff's Pack. It wasn't uncommon for young wolves in his group to split off, trying to find new homes, or be sent on different "quests" or "trials" to prove themselves to the pack's god. Upon reaching adulthood, the young male was given his "quest": find the Jagged Peaks among the Cliffs.

Stone is a quiet, observant male. He's aware of his place in the Pack, and that others rely on him. It makes him nervous, but time and his mate Daylight, the pup-sitter, for have given him the reassurance he needed, giving the Pack a calm and confident healer.

Stone and Daylight tend to share stories about their work, their past, different pack histories and things Stone has seen in the Stars. Sometimes, Daylight brings the pups over for stories, other times Stone teaches Daylight what he knows while the pups nap...

Years came and went, Daylight eventually retired from pup-sitting to spend time with his mate, as the two had become older. A few months later, Daylight passed in his sleep. Stone fell into a deep depression ever since, barely leaving his den. The Pack worried for him, and began urgently looking for a replacement.

Thankfully, one was found, in River's pup Hail. The young wolf showed interest in healing, and herbs, and slowly drew the withdrawn Stone from his reclusion. Perhaps, because of this, it wasn't noticed until too late that Hail didn't posses Spirit Walking, a skill vital for Healers to pass their Trial. Stone was too old to train a new apprentice, but his ancestors assured him there was a wolf with the skill in his Pack.

Knowing he had done all he could, the old wolf passed on the knowledge to Hail, hoping he would be able to help train the wolf when the time came.

Hail found him a few days later, Daylight having guided him to help guide the next Healer.
