◇ Journey Log ◇

User ID: #30480
Pack: Falkenstein
Date: 2022/10/19
Notes: Ferne originated from a young pack that he could not call home for long. A dispute between him and the leader was the reason, a disagreement on the fundamental structure of the pack. Stubborn and quick to give his input as he was, he would not accept the leader's proposed rules, and since the both of them refused to back down, he was released from his duties as deputy and promptly chased from the pack's territory.

He tried not to let it bother him as he found himself aimlessly wandering the lands, his surroundings turning less and less familiar with every step. The summer heat burned his paws as he walked with nowhere to go, eventually seeking refuge beneath densely grown conifers, shielding him from the sun. It did not take long until he stumbled upon a patrolling Zeder, and Ferne was skeptical of the leader's offer to join her pack -- but thinking of the state of his previous pack, curiosity got the better of him, and he accepted.

A few weeks later, he had gotten used to Falkenstein's way of life. It was nice, however all roles extending past the pack's base camp had been filled, and he grew restless. Not only was he inexperienced, his one and only role had been short-lived and he wondered if it had been right for him at all. If he could travel past Falkenstein's borders and gather different experiences, meet a multitude of wolves and their packs, pick up a variety of skills and knowledge and share what he had come across during his travels... he felt that not only would it be a worthwhile undertaking, he also hoped to grow from it -- and when he thought back, perhaps a little out of spite.

And so, having been granted his request a short while later, Ferne soon set off on his journey as Falkenstein's first traveler, determined to return once his journey had been completed.

User ID: Little #83114
Pack: Freezing Lake
Date: 2022/10/21
Notes: Ferne was welcomed with open paws to stay at Freezing Lake for as long as he needed. One of their travelers, Sandy, had heard about the pack Ferne had come from and decided to travel there for a while. Ferne was welcomed as a pupsitter since one of their wolves was expecting. He did a great job looking after the puppies. Though he was offered to stay longer, Ferne felt it was time to move to the next pack. He said his goodbyes and he was off!

User ID: Possumproblem #71217
Pack: Yapok (formerly Possum)
Date: 2022/10/29
Decor added: Zebra Swallowtail
Notes: When Ferne reached the swamp, there were strange goings-on; a mysterious pyre appearing out of nowhere, then gossip coming from far and wide that wolves were vanishing without a trace. While he was staying with the Yapok pack, two of its members, apparently sensing his ambitious nature, spent time talking to him about what good leadership meant. Luke, who had been voted in as the successor of their aging leader by a very slim margin, discussed her concerns about being an ethical yet strong leader. Sharku, an unnerving fellow whose appearance had changed drastically after he walked into the pyre, held forth about how a good leader wields power and knows what's best for everyone. Ferne soon grew bored with both of these overly-earnest perspectives and spent his time with the hunters, who were glad for the extra help during a time of slim pickings.

User ID: Fella #31536
Pack: Red Marauders
Date: 2022/11/3
Decor added: large eye scar, blind eye, (plus scarce understory & arctic white)
Notes: As the days grew darker and colder, strange sights begun appearing. Animals never before seen, glowing orbs of light in the night—too bright to be mere fireflies. Not really wanting to abandon the wolves of Yapok so soon, the curiosity of this new phenomenon however was too great to ignore!
When trying to chase down one of the larger floating lights, Ferne soon found his surroundings had changed. Snow blanketed the ground in layers that should not be possible in the swamp, and great taiga trees towered above him. He was in the north? How? He was certain he had only walked for an hour at most, there is no way he could have wondered this far north already! Sniffing the air he could not detect much life in its scent, it's like the land was bled dry of both resources and prey. What could have-.. There! A scent! On freezing paws not used so such sudden change in temperature, Ferne made his way towards the possibly only life in the area. He did not have to wander far before he was met with a massive gate nestled in a narrow passage leading into the side of a mountain. Although his instincts screamed at him to run, his foolish impulsive nature—and perhaps a heavy load of curiosity—made him approach the gate instead.
It's safe to say that; instincts, should not be ignored. Too late did Ferne realize his mistake, and it cost him an eye. Thankfully, out of mostly dumb luck, he managed to evade the clutches of the Red Marauders. Despite the hurt and exhaustion, he would not stop running, not until the ground gave way to grass once again and Ferne was sure he was well out of reach from those monsters living in the mountains. The sheer fear of such intimidatingly large and hateful wolves will surely haunt his dreams for many moons to come..

User ID: MapleCoffee (#49360)
Pack: Northward Shores
Date: 2022/11/08
Decor added: Viceroy
Notes: His paws ached, and his head felt heavy. Ferne had been running for so long that he could no longer tell where he was heading. Once his vision began blurring, strange lights appeared around his peripheral and drew Ferne in. Before he could resist, everything went dark, and he was somewhere else. Had he somehow taken a wrong turn? The world around him was still as cold as before. In fact, the ground was even more rough and rocky. Ferne found he was in the Tundra. Far away from the Taiga and nowhere near the warm Grasslands. Just great. He had way more to go than he thought. Unfortunately, Ferne was exhausted and could not stand to be awake much longer. So, he found a nice little alcove to rest within. A little while later, when Ferne awoke, he realized a wolf was sitting just outside. They noticed he was awake and quickly explained who they were. Their name was Rowan, a scout from the Northward Shores. Since Ferne was trespassing, Rowan decided to wait until he awoke so they could escort him out of the territory. The scout also mentioned how Ferne's scent mysteriously appeared and led them to this den. Ferne got up, shook out his fur and apologized, admitting he had no clue where he was. Rowan was understanding and escorted the traveller out of the Tundra, past the Taiga, and to the large river that divided the Coniferous Forest and Grasslands. The two then said their goodbyes and parted ways. Ferne hoped his travels would be safer from here on out.
