Secret

Dec. 10th, 2023
Secret has been in the pack for a month and is settling in nicely after having her puppies here. She joined after Wryn talked with another pack leader, Marine, who sent Secret from his pack to the Wolven Angels to use her healing and herbalism skills for them. She has enjoyed getting to know the other wolves and crafting medicines to help them. Unfortunately, Wryn seems to get sick quite often, so Secret has been spending all of her time researching cures and mixing them, while also foraging for herbs and supplies. Secret is honing her skills very quickly and she expects to be an expert in herbalism for the pack. She recently had 5 puppies and has been enjoying watching them develop their own personalities and skills over the past month. Currently, Secret is out in the forest foraging for herbs. She takes another step into the cool nighttime air. It is late, but she prefers working by moonlight in the quietness of the nighttime forest. She takes a deep breath, sniffing out any nearby herbs. She smells something sweet up ahead and continues in that direction. There are some weasels out and about this late at night, and a few birds already singing their morning songs, but besides that, the forest is quiet. She enjoys this alone time with her thoughts, thinking about her day and the medicines she still needs to craft. As she steps closer to the sweet scent, she hears a noise behind her. She turns around, worried she may have to resort to fighting off a bear, but when she looks behind her, she sees her puppy, Burglar. He wags his tail and does a spin of excitement when she looks at him. Secret sighs and tells him "you were supposed to stay at the pack, where it is safe." Burglar huffs in response and starts to sniff the air, smelling the same scent that Secret had picked up on. Secret knows that her son aspires to be herbalist as well. He is very disobedient, but it also shows his determination, which in a way, she admires. She watches him stroll through the woods, nose to the ground while he follows the scent of herbs. Secret starts to trail behind him, letting him take the lead to work on his skills. She feels bad for her son, he looks much different than his packmates due to his odd coloring. No one knows how it happened, but she has been trying to find the reason and make sure it is not dangerous. He was not born that way, but after escaping when very young, he came back with blue coloring across him that will not wash off. She hopes that all will be alright, even if he is hard to handle. She watches him sprint across the forest as the scent grew stronger, and Secret picked up pace to catch up with him. He walks up to a tree and starts sniffing around its base. Secret slowly approaches and starts sniffing the area as well. For a moment, it is quiet and calm, and Secret enjoys this moment of peace with her pup.
