This time Kiara had traveled far from the apartment in search of food. Sarian was getting bigger, as she was nearly two months old and almost completely weaned. Kiara was producing less and less milk for the puppy and soon she would not have to lactate at all. Kiara looked forward to not to the time when Sarian would no longer have to suckle, but also dreaded the thought because she would have to go out hunting more often. Even now, Kiara would often go out hunting to provide for herself and Shiloh. The snow wolf did not want to have to rely on the pack for food because they were busy enough trying to fill the stores in preparation for winter.


Kiara took her time to travel through the mountains and searched for prey with almost a casual air. Sarian had expressed an interest in trying some fowls, so Kiara was specifically looking for any birds large enough to be worth her time. After some time, the huntress came across a rather plump spruce grouse that was picking at the dirt. With practiced silence, Kiara crept towards the grouse and prepared herself to pounce. However, the snowy wolf experience a stroke of bad luck and the grouse spotted the wolf's bright coat before Kiara could strike. The grouse took off with a flurry of feather's leaving Kiara with no choice but chase the bird.


The arctic wolf followed her avian foe all the way to a nearby stream and watched helplessly as the grouse settled on a branch too high for Kiara to ever reach. Defeated, Kiara turned around and slowly started on her trip back to Ichika empty handed. The young wolf did not get very far as her sensitive ears picked up the grouses distressed calls. What could have managed to kill the bird when it was so high up. Curiosity bested Kiara and she turned around to investigate.


Kiara's sensitive nose picked up the scent of a pack, as well as something familiar. Before Kiara sat a luperci, who's body was badly scarred and whose coloring somehow seemed familiar. Kiara squinted her sapphire eyes as she tried to recall where she had seen this individual. "Vesper? Is that you?" Kiara couldn't be certain if the figure before her was in fact Vesper, because the coywolf she knew was not a luperci. Kiara tentatively stepped forward, her nose working overtime, trying to confirm her suspicions.
